Ex Patris
The title Ex Patris ( from the fathers ) plays on the idiomatic baroque lute compositions presented here, which emulate the classical repertoire. The four compositions on Ex Patris form a circular narrative of interlocking repetitive melodic series, kicking off with the pro-apocalyptic track The Day Is Coming. Amor Fati channels a deep interest in both love for religion and religious belief in love. Son of Dawn consists of mirrored lute harmonics that serve as an intro to the 13-minute elegiac After The Fire Has Devoured All It Will Consume Itself. The piece builds and releases tension, with layer upon layer of ecstatic melody. At the end even the work itself gets devoured but it remains eternal, with no potential beginning and without end.
