This song "Lament" was created in about two hours' time on a highly caffeinated Sunday night and is part of an overarching series of electronic music I'm working on called "Out of Heaven."
My initial inspiration for the series is that I want to create an apocalyptic soundtrack/scape for what I imagine the Judeo-Christian narrative of the battle in heaven and its fallout would look like. Since the fall of humanity is part of that fallout, the theme also encompasses earthly battles as well and I spent the whole time making this track imagining battle sequences from my favorite films. I designed "Lament" to sound both industrial with its heavy drumbeat and heavenly with the choral and string voices that progress through the piece. This track went through several iterations before I called it done and the childlike voice that closes out the track was my favorite accident. I think it sounds like mourning over the loss of life in the battle, but also hope that the world can someday be better. A human voice has so much power to it and I think this electronic likeness gives credence to that - I get goosebumps every time I listen to the ending. I hope you enjoy listening to this track and I am excited to share more with you. Until next time. X
