I don’t know how much darker you can delve than a collection of electronica and reeds by the team of Graham Epp, Jesse Warkentin, Scott Ellenberger, Andy Rudolph and Dan Moroz as they give a sonic journey of Faust selling his soul to the devil.
The four act, 18 pieces, culled from various performances, is a collection of electronic dirges, echoes, trudges and shadows with nowhere to hide. Harrowing harmonies, frightening electronics, brooding bass clarinets and jarring rhythms take you on a descent into the spaces of Hades, Abbadon’s abode and Gehenna. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and it ain’t pretty.
