The Orphic Hymns are ancient Greek poems that were part of the multi-god worshipping religious practice of Orphism. In 1787, the Orphic Hymns were translated into English by Thomas Taylor. A second edition was published in 1824. There are 87 known Orphic Hymns.

In 2019, I began composing music for the Orphic Hymns. As of the date of this writing, I have composed music for 25+ of Taylor's hymns with plans to eventually cover the entire canon.

This track's lead vocal was sung and edited entirely without pitch correction (Autotune) in three takes.
