EMPYREAN by Hermetic

Hermetic returns with his new release Empyrean. A fresh dive into future bass and the melodic side of dubstep. Expansive synths, weighty drops, and soaring atmospheres define this EP, delivering both intensity and emotion. Crafted in Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Empyrean captures Hermetic’s evolving sound: immersive, powerful, and unmistakably his own.

Boundaries by Hermetic

Queensland-based electronic artist Hermetic returns with a powerful new release, Boundaries — a genre-defying exploration of texture, space, and emotion. Blending intricate electronica with ambient/idm sensibilities and rhythmic tension, Boundaries invites listeners into a world where sound both defines and dissolves the lines between inner and outer experience.

Each track pulses with Hermetic’s signature depth: layered synths, atmospheric sweeps, glitch-laced percussion, and a cinematic approach to structure.

DECODING MESSAGE -

The tide rises and falls

What goes up must come down

We strive for the peak experiences

But we cannot stay on the summit

We all must descend

Burn the dead wood

Purify the flesh to purify the soul

Cast off all that no longer serves you

So you may rise again

Catharsis

A prayer of the people of Athens:

'Rain, beloved Zeus, rain on the cornfields and the plains of Attica.'

One ought to pray thus simply and freely, or not to pray at all.

Dynamics by Hermetic

Dynamics by Hermetic

After careful Calibration, the opening of the Dimensional Rift occurred and Ascension to the source was established. Hermetic signals propagate out from the void, transmitting vibrational tendrils down into the 4th dimensional realms of the simulation. Through dedicated Samahdi, a state of Satori flows to the Humbled and phase coherence is achieved with the source.

Join the Hermetic order on another hyperspace journey through soundscapes of pounding beats, lush synths, glitching entities and an epic wall of sound production that transcends this mortal coil... if only for a little while :)

Ascension by Hermetic

With roots in Brisbane's Hip Hop, IDM & Progressive House scenes, Hermetic (aka Jed Elmer), moved back to his childhood home of Rainbow Beach, Queensland, Australia in 2009.

Life, Wife, Kids and Waves have chilled out the vibes a bit from those early days, bringing some peace, harmony and transcendence to this rides through hyperspace.

Come on a journey through an electronic soundscape of big beats, fluttering arps, thick synths and an epic wall of sound experience.

With influences from Aphex Twin to Devin Townsend; The Beatles to Bjork, it’s a bit hard to pigeon hole any particular genre for this release, it’s a musical call to adventure, to somewhere unknown but somehow familiar.
