WARNING: These compositions are based on ancient hekhalot traditions and ascent rituals. According to tradition, mishandling the sacred names, misordering the progression, or engaging the music with impurity can result in:
Mental disorientation
Spiritual rupture
Heretical descent
Or, as legend holds, death by divine misalignment
Listen in Order. Listen in Peace.
Only those who seek truth with clean hands and aligned soul should proceed.
"He who enters in peace shall exit in peace. (נכנס בשלום ויצא בשלום)"
“Gates of Radiance” is a transcendent journey through sacred sound, mystic poetry, and celestial orchestration. Inspired by the legendary mystical ascent of Rabbi Akiva through the seven heavenly palaces (hekhalot), this album fuses ambient electro, symphonic grandeur, and ancient Hebrew-Aramaic chant. Each track corresponds to a gate or spiritual stage, culminating in Akiva’s summoning before the Kissei haKavod — the Throne of Glory.
Featuring:
Atmos-style immersive stereo imaging
Classical orchestrations à la Nelson Riddle, Glass, Beethoven, and Harold Arlen
Female and male vocal duets with biblical, mystical phrasing
Vocal seals and divine names repeated with sacred resonance
Sacred language loops (Hebrew, Aramaic, English)
Designed for contemplative listening, ritual experience, or cinematic spiritual immersion.
