Heroic Summons

New Single by Grievous Bodily Calm

Heroic Summons is an animating tone-poem. The track speaks to responding to the call of challenges and moving through life with determination and hope. As the song unfolds, cycling melodic themes emerge, disappear, and reappear, as a sound world is born and evolves.

Throughout the journey dichotomies are teased out: ancient and the future, the acoustic and synthesized, sweeping time and small pulses, introspection and triumph, as Grievous Bodily Calm takes listeners across the threshold.

GBC fuse the cycling motifs found in detroit techno, the restraint found in minimal techno, with live performance, intensely detailed drumming, electroacoustic treatment, and glossy FM synthesis.
