"Empyrean" is an ancient Greek term for heaven, and this track was an attempt to distill that simple concept into a piece of music. I tried to keep it nice and soft, but I wanted to have plenty of detail and complexity in there amongst the simple strings and melodies. I also added some binaural recordings on top to add some extra spatiality.
For the video, Joseph Murrell employed a different approach from my norm, creating sets and props to give an entirely real footage video rather than the usual CGI. He has reinterpreted the concept a little, with a circle of life format here, abstracted and sometimes cryptic, but all created with natural forms, and still tied to the original empyrean, but now on earth.
The track is part of the album "Human', where each track represents a different, common human theme.
