Studio Journal
The studio journal documents the journey to DIGNITY. The physical CD is now available; the digital release follows on 16 October 2026.
Archive: the dated entries below describe the production milestones at the time they were written.
Another important step is done: the final DDP master of DIGNITY has been completed and delivered to ZOUNDR.
Ten tracks, almost 70 minutes of music - the audio master for our fifth album is now finished. The next step is the production of the physical CD.
October 16 is getting closer.
After many small adjustments to the cover, booklet, credits
and print layout, the visual side of our fifth album is now finished.
Now it's time for the music to follow.
For quite a while, our fifth album didn't have a name. We considered several ideas, including titles taken
from the songs, but none of them seemed to capture the album as a whole.
Eventually one word kept coming back: DIGNITY.
It isn't the title of any of the songs. Instead, it reflects something we found running through many of
them — time passing, things changing or disappearing, truth and lies, memories, loss, and the way we deal
with all of it.
Once the name was there, the visual idea followed: a weathered face, marked by time,
looking towards a break in the clouds and the light beyond.
DIGNITY felt right. So we stopped looking.
The journey begins: the first teaser artwork, the tracklist and the story of the fifth Riven Earth album are now online.
Further studio updates, artwork details and release information will follow step by step.
