#58 - Portals by The Owl

'Portals' tells the story of the mysterious Vault B (the 7th door of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, India), and the surrounding secrets regarding the unveiled treasures of the other vaults.

It was discovered in some of the subterranean part of the temple. Five of the vaults were opened on 27 June 2011. The temple treasure is considered the largest collection of valuable objects in the recorded history of the world, and includes gold thrones, crowns, coins, statues and ornaments, diamonds and other precious stones.

Vault B has not been opened since at least the 1880s.

released August 27, 2021

There is plenty of tension and release, along with a longer doom drone noise piece as the penultimate track, before some level of resolve is granted in the closing piano piece.

I am incredibly happy with this as a complete piece of music, and I hope, as always, that you lovely people who discover this page will give this album time to unfold into its many twists and turns. It's one to immerse very deep inside, (especially for those who meditate to music), and I graciously thank every person who ventures in and trusts me and the sounds.
