Album Notes & Community Reviews

Drawing conceptual inspiration from the elegiac poetry of 16th-century Polish writer Jan Kochanowski, this album is a stunning fusion of modern classical composition and digital glitch manipulation. The producer blends live cello, harp, and soprano vocals with heavy layers of ambient electronic noise and digital static. The result is a profoundly melancholic, funereal masterpiece of electroacoustic music.
