Meditations

by Sufjan Stevens

Meditations cover art

Acting as the first volume of his expansive five-part 'Convocations' suite, the acclaimed singer-songwriter entirely set aside his folk origins for pure instrumental ambiance. Created as a prolonged sonic grieving process following the death of his biological father, the deeply sorrowful, drifting synthesizer drones offer a profound sense of quiet longing. The heavily layered project mirrors the classic, contemplative works of early New Age pioneers.
