Set among ruins that predate Stonehenge, You Origin festival reshaped the work of Sunn O)))โ€™s Stephen Oโ€™Malley, Kali Malone, and more around meditative surroundingsโ€”despite some unwanted guests.

The entire weekend was shot through with an uncommon spirit of openness, as if everyone realized how rare an opportunity it was to see music in this meditative context. All the events converged upon an overlapping set of themes: the intersection of sound and landscape, space and time, presence and ephemerality. Above all, it felt…
