Instrumentation

Anxious sound , harmonies and rhytrhms almost obsessive. The harmonic theme , willingly written in a little incisive way , is performed by the Soprano and by the Epic Choir , leaving the ostinato rhythm to the electronic effects.

Modal melody of the Organ and of the Medieval Flute in contrappunto with the Gregorian Choir; dark and gloomy atmosphere, almost sepulchral.

The composition is divided in to two sections ; the first is spectral and dramatic with the ostinato of the Celesta and the dissonances of the Strings, the second is more evocative with Timpani and a Brass theme.

L’assenza di una tonalità definita e di un tema melodico, la pulsazione ritmica della Cassa e l’effettistica rendono il brano carico di suspense.

Tema evocativo e cupo dei Contrabbassi. Sound tetro ed oscuro con pedale continuo dei bassi, brevi frasi arpeggiate del Pianoforte e dissonanze dei Synths.

The percussive Piano, the ethnic Percussion, the Eastern Oud and the Ney (Arabian flute)  and especially the Voive vocals and String lines create a characteristically Middle-Eastern sound. Fast beat, tense atmosphere.

The steady harmony, the beating groove of the Bass Drum, the Effect and the dissonance of the Church Organ, all recreating scenes of tension ,war and danger.
