Have you heard GNOSIS (Little Dragon) by ANIMISM? It's different..
š The story behind GNOSIS (Little Dragon)
Every track carries a story.
GNOSIS (Little Dragon) was born during the Goa monsoon - late nights of rain outside, experimenting with distortion, rhythm, and texture inside. The song moved through many moods: lonely piano lines, heavy bass, chaotic beats, choirs that seem to both mourn and lift.
Last monsoon I could sense that major changes were on the way, as well as a necessary change of my own mindset. And here we are, a little over a year later - I'm in Singapore, heading back to Thailand shortly - probably not based in Goa so much anymore.
Releasing it this month in Singapore feels like coming full circle. This is the place where my music journey truly began, nurtured by my late mumās creativity and encouragement. Without her, I wouldnāt be an artist today. In a way, this track is a quiet homage to her - and to the idea of finding wisdom through lifeās storms.
The title GNOSIS means āspiritual knowledge, awakening, transcendence.ā The āLittle Dragonā nods back to its earliest form in the studio - a humble, universe-exploring creature who learns as he travels. Both names belong to the track, because both belong to the journey.
Itās a piece about learning through chaos, finding insight in solitude, and letting the small, persistent dragon within us grow wiser.

Release Day! The debut ANIMISM EP, GOSSE, is out to the world today (February 14, 2025), released with love.
GOSSE is an extended sonic adventure, bridging experimental, downtempo, IDM and broken beats. Several unusual instruments were pushed in different ways, and more and more grooves came from creative sessions.
Like Teenage Fugue, it was written and produced in the malaise of an impromptu mid-winter trip to Nepal. On my final day, I spent the afternoon with global producer, OMMOOD - who unwittingly inspired the breaks, beats and direction.
I was bored with the same old thing, and down a little about life in general. I pushed myself to engage in some music time, and - piece by piece - this record came about.
Thanks to the early supporters of ANIMISM, in this rest-of-life journey. It's still very young along the way.
Find GOSSE - including the epic title track - on your favourite streaming platforms.
This Saturday December 9th, Goa Music Lab takes over India Blockchain Week in Bangalore, at Hard Rock Cafe (Whitefield).
The new single, ANIMISM - C.O.P.N.E. is officially launched, and here is the full generative AI music video. The song and the story are extended journeys, through a world of dreams and perseverance.
ANIMISM is a Goa-based multi-instrumentalist and music/festival producer, and COPNE is a tribute to his musical heritage, with the initial sketches of the piece first etched in 2005.
