Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commissioned originally as a soundtrack for a Danish performance art piece based on Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species', this deeply avant-garde collaborative effort shatters traditional pop structures. The trio constructed an unnerving, abstract electronic opera utilizing natural field recordings, dissonant synthesizer drones, and operatic vocal contortions to simulate the evolutionary process.
