eremos

eremos is an album by the Iranian composer and sound artist Siavash Amini, released on 27 October 2023 by American Dreams and mastered by Lawrence English. The title is a Greek adjective meaning uninhabited or desert-like. In four long electronic and electroacoustic pieces, Amini draws on two passages from Ibn Sina's allegorical tale Hayy ibn Yaqdhan: one on space, desolation, life and non-life, the other on light, darkness and transcendence. The American poet and philosopher Eugene Thacker wrote a short text for the release.
