about

'Circe songs' is a set of spell songs inspired by the Greek Goddess, witch and sorceress, Circe.

The album explores ancient magic and ritual practices, many of the songs using text from spells found in the 'Greek Magical Papyri'.

Made up of remote ensemble and choir recordings, with added electronic sounds, much of the melodic content is sourced from folk melodies of the 'Mondine' (Italian rice field workers).
