Honey For The Ants

Description

Wojciech Rusin announces the release of Honey for the Ants via AD 93. Alongside this announcement, Rusin has released the single Behind the Palazzo, available to listen to now. Honey for the Ants completes an "alchemical trilogy," following The Funnel and Syphon. These albums are inspired by mystical and gnostic texts, celebrating the strange, the unhinged, and sometimes the beautiful.In this upcoming album, the tonalities have shifted from medieval and Renaissance dissonances to modernist dissonances. New singers and instrumentalists contribute to an emotional and textural richness achieved through a collaborative process. Distant musical periods, real and fictitious, casually intertwine to create a delirious hybrid that salutes the imagination.Wojciech Rusin is a Polish-born audiovisual artist based in London.
