Album Notes & Community Reviews
Composed by the legendary pioneer of electroacoustic music, this extended suite serves as a harrowing, abstract sonic interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Utilizing extensive tape manipulation, chilling synthesizer drones, and manipulated vocal samples, Henry constructs an overwhelmingly dark, sparse environment intended to guide the soul through the afterlife. It is a deeply influential, conceptually immense masterwork of early electronic avant-garde composition.
