A stunning, atmospheric live rendition of the composer's legendary 1969 masterpiece. Incorporating a chamber ensemble alongside Philip Jeck's turntablism and recordings of survivors, the music slowly degrades and reverberates, conceptually mimicking a hymnal band continuing to play as they descend underwater.
