Nigredo Bloom

A composition by Kaffe Matthews using the systems understood of the first Six gates of Alchemy as determined by British Alchemist George Ripley, C15th . Commissioned by the Swedish ensemble GAHLMM, this is a recording of the premier performance shared with a large and local audience after a three day workshop at Gerlesborg Art School, 11.09.25

‘Nigredo Bloom’ will again be performed by GAHLMM in Gothenborg, Sweden, April 2026. The intention is that the final six gates, to complete Ripley’s 12 Gate Theory of Alchemy will be made later in the year.
