Parachrism

by DIM

supported by

Peachy This goes far, far beyond dungeon synth and into total mastery of form. It's soaring in some parts, meditative in others, but always moving towards purity and light. I can't stop listening. Favorite track: Watcher of the Luminous....

Egg Wizard This is just plain excellent music; a pulse from the heart of the dungeon synth/soundtrack world but bursting with colour and energy. Recommended. Favorite track: IV.

Frotting Christ while Parachrism's bones are definitely in dungeon synth, what makes this album really special is the addition of contemporary electronic and (especially) new age elements. Favorite track: Thorn Radiance.

For my family, Hannah, Ingrid, and Liesel. Parachrism, a name honed from many sources. Years in the making, like every album before it, is an amalgamation of whatever I have become. Parachrism is about forcing evolution, emotional extremes, and the sacrosanct aspects of beauty itself. Parachrism is a fever dream of the GOOD and the LIGHT.

I've fought with this album more than any other before it, as the hue of light changes in the tunnel that leads to the end. You will probably hear that, or feel it. Precious are the years of life, sacred and scarce are the ways in which that life can be truly purified. Watch out for your chance! Mix oil & balsam, consecrate with unknown white substance and anoint accordingly.

The road is weary, yet your chalice is filled. Walk a while...

Thaur ar duin valin, ar ilvaer en 'geria' venin ad.

about

DIM Nova Scotia

For an era, being steeped in the sonic palettes of Basil Poledouris, Biosphere and Maurice Duruflé, DIM was forged in a bathing, incongruous light. DIM's music began garnering a devoted following within the dungeon synth community with his album, "Compendium I". Ten more would follow, including works written as Satchel Bearer, Atrium of Time and more as a composer for video games. ... more
