about

Votive is available now for streaming, download, and on limited-edition compact disc.

Recorded over the course of 2020 and 2021, the eight tracks across Votive were crafted using a palette of analog and digital synthesizers, drum machines, and acoustic instrumentation. Vox, synth arpeggios, half-mortal choirs, deer bone flute, bodhrán, and bronze singing bowl combine in a waking dream of ancient oracles, burial rites, and priestly rituals performed in remote sanctuaries. Repetitious sequences, angular waveforms, and golden timbres recall the punched and incised, geometric decoration of Bronze Age grave goods and burial deposits from across the Mediterranean basin and British Isles. The songs comprising Votive are a recollection and excavation of earthly joys and losses, and the buried offerings to their memory.

Fimbria (2014–) is an electronic solo project of composer and multi-instrumentalist Brian Castriota based in Glasgow, Scotland.
