Perpendicular 04:19
lyrics
buy track
PERPENDICULAR Blood gives shape the night The sky’s alight Overhead Yet you’re underwhelmed Again Too long amongst the dead But Jovis is returning A fateful thrust of will To leave behind your tomb This time Or No way out of The walls from Your own bones Quivering At the core Isolation More illusionary holes How long Will you gaze In Echo’s pool? Lost and bound To your shards of mirror Go down Lower than the ground It’s foretold The Selfless will take hold Trust you will know Trust you will be Trust you’ll be Free They are beside you Primeval tongues If you’d let them Thaw your heart Gliding above you Purify all Beacon of solace In the sky A perpendicular line Runs live from Your chest towards That golden orb Now draw it inward Before you return

The World, Inf(l)ected 06:36
lyrics

THE WORLD, INF(L)ECTED The world outside is far away The world outside is far away The world outside is far away The world outside is far How far are you? How far will you go Deep within the unknown To build an ineffable home? If I project a light towards you In the hope to reflect a glint of Something whole Beyond this shell Am I delusional? Memories Warm and bittersweet Faded like The ground beneath A world behind us Cleansed of all The world ahead Pulls the soul Close your distance Please don’t stay away Keep your distance from me Best you stay at bay But no, no Send to me Your presence felt For sanctuary A world behind us Cleansed of all The world ahead Pulls the soul Will it be enough? Will it be enough? Will it be enough? Will all of this be enough?

Bearer 05:23
lyrics

BEARER If the dawn is as old As momentous the day The wind whistled in code Behind the Sage’s oration… “If a bringer of cyclones Or a bearer of new loads Just open your eyes And breathe Just open your mind And heave” If the sun rises silver In the eye of a mælström As it charges through the waves Figure eights through the masses… “If a bringer of Hades Or a bearer of changes Just open your eyes And breathe Just open your mind And wean” If the pivotal hour Yields the truculent cost as A sacrificial devour And indiscriminate losses… “If a bringer of the dire Or a bearer of honour Just open your eyes And breathe Just open your mind And see It must be all left behind It’s just a coming of age The air will be purified” These were the words of the Sage

Nil by Mouth 05:33

NIL BY MOUTH Pick a side and go Check the leadershit Lick those fetid lips and Track the fleshiest of rears A chosen one Apparently awoke A master of laws An ideologue Moulded mouthpiece For the unspeakable But Oh my word Such a shame Mouth Prone to Defecate Hyperbole Feel the weight Of the same shit Over and over and Overstate The needs of a slave Every answer Recited Delivered oh so flawlessly Agenda team, yet one Left, right, up or down Get your story straight Parrot jargon now And get yourself liked on a feed But But What you feed What you grow Grows broken as You run the show and Those you break Watch you fall and Watch you as You lose control Watch them breed Another clone then Throw them before One and all Watch them smirk with Whitest teeth Brown with ideology Oh my word Such a shame Mouth Prone to Defecate Hyperbole Feel the weight Of the same shit Over and over and Overplay The deeds of a slave

Point 06:36
lyrics

POINT Ahead Rain falls in sheets of glass As you walk on The steps quicken Rising from days gone The voice draws you on As so it begins His words are clear “There’s something here Your search can end I’m listening There’s something here Your search can end I’m so sorry There’s something here Your search can end I’m here for you” Time and time and time again Time and time again How he bleeds into himself His face is older His eyes are of a lover Fallen As a child In cruciform An innocent Brutalised by Callous hands and Patrilineal shame But his dance now opens your eyes To an essence once unknowable And not by chance Not by chance You see yourself An ocean trench Vortexes in Untangles thread Time spins Weave the way out Heed the way home Weave the way out Heed the way Arcs of smoke Express the night Caress the mist and Become the ether In a state of reintegration All becomes a point All intricacy is lost For a transient moment It is glimpsed An unbounded space Where there is only light

Inquisition 04:44
lyrics

INQUISITION Do you ask it to go away? Do you ask it to remain? Do you know? Do your feathers fall to ground? Or does the ground fill your gaze? Do you know? Does a wire trip the sound? Or is the sound from your way? Do you know? An inquisition Dressed as questions Can you stand it? Will you stand alone and brace the wall? It weeps your name Just for you Do you ask it to go away? Do you ask it to remain? Do you know? Do your golden rules line your crown? Or is the crown for display? Do you know? Was the Mary face tightly wound? And was it wound in your place? Do you know? An inquisition dressed as questions Can you stand it? Will you stand alone and brace your wall? It weeps your name Just for you Don’t look away It was with you but You split the seams of the tapestry Where you became Untouchable Inaudible In the dream A python through the pinnacles Mouths the opening to a Cavernous place To consume or to Be consumed By its fate

Mater Ignis 05:55

MATER IGNIS She’s in the haze The vapour trail She is a haven And she moves Breathes out her womb An offering Transcending life and death Intentionally Elementum æternam Nigresco quod venenosus Inter nos Mater Ignis Clear away the rest Give birth to what it is To Be Homa Goma Come Hestia Vesta Veni Homa Goma Come Hestia Vesta Veni You can’t say Or pretend to fathom What lies Beyond Her scarlet veil Oil ignites Words to draw her Home tonight She’s ablaze With licks and tails She moves in turns Of the moon Factorem cinis Admonere nos De debitum Ad uniendis Mater Ignis Guide us through this test Lay down what it is To Be

M. OSCURA TIEPIDA Prevedibile Con lucidità Conclusione intravista Dall’inizio Divisibilità totale È un errore di giudizio Una paura di Ambiguità Inizialmente è Invisibile ma Riconoscibile Con la voglia È sempre qui Visibile Indivisibile E verace Dapprima è Invisibile ma Riconoscibile In essenza È sempre qui Visibile Indivisibile E reale

The All 07:33
lyrics

THE ALL Beyond belief Is of higher Self Each time around The burning Sun The cycles show The task is to Begin again Rebuild as if it went On and on and on Without an end Begin again A watcher peeks The colours of Both emptiness And ecstasy It’s evidence So we will Begin again Rebuild as when it went On and on and on Without an end Begin again All potential in you Is true And if As the wheel turns You tell yourself it’s not Or you tell yourself you can’t Then perhaps you must And instead you will Through the higher Self Know The All A ring appears Viewed from above But a coil is shown When the axis skews Reveal the Mind Align your Self to Begin again Rebuild because it goes On and on and on Without an end Begin again Like the flux of cosmic rays Like the solar winds sustain Like the fusion animates The flames that Arc of Sun In the heart of everyone Lies a calling to become And a vessel for the One The Absolute through Awe And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun And the centre of the Sun Is the essence of The All

about

Created over a three year period by Giosuè Prochilo including the beginning of the pandemic, Arc of Sun's first full release Unfold, layers textural atmospheres with driving, complex rhythms as a backdrop to tales from the liminal space between the darkest shadows and the most transcendent light.

The presentation of dark and light, often stark in contrast, gives the album a cyclic emotional quality, where listeners are guided through the depths of ambiguous sonic territory, in a profoundly ritualistic and cathartic experience. Conceived as an audiovisual project and gesamtkunstwerk, Unfold also presents a series of evocative images that present a cinematic setting for what is a truly unique artistic journey.
