Album Notes & Community Reviews
Translated as the Mass of Shadows, 'Missa Umbrarum' uses an innovative performance technique involving wine glasses rubbed by the vocalists acting as the sole accompaniment. The recording extensively layers live vocal loops via delay systems, bridging ancient liturgical chant structures with modern electronic processing methodologies.
