This short collection of contemplative ambient soundscapes crafted with electric guitar is Mike Farley’s netlabel debut. Both as a personal exercise in communion with the numinous and an expression of insight, they successfully convey a sense of the spiritual life.

From the artist:
Eremos is Mike Farley’s project for lyrical, guitar-based ambient music, exploring themes of solitude, stillness, and contemplation.
Eremos is music as a kind of prayer.
Mike, based in Dorset, UK, has played guitar and bass for many years in blues, rock and experimental bands, as well as in church music.
Mike started playing music seriously while at Guildford Art School, though he has worked in many fields over the years, including dairy farming, IT, and publishing, and had several books of poetry published in the 80s.
He is a Franciscan Tertiary.

Must pass on my regards and encouragement for this album; many thanks!
It’s all too easy to rush into downloading and then spending months listening to it without ever passing such comments on! This album has been a regular and I should be including one of the tracks on my Plethorama compilation series that I give out to friends locally…
