Mishima

Oscillating string cycles that transform biographical tragedy into a shimmering, mathematical ritual. Intense, focused, and profoundly cinematic chamber music.

It's like a high-speed engine made of violins that helps you think ten times faster.

A disciplined, rhythmic intensity that balances cold mathematical precision with a deep, underlying sense of tragic yearning.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into 'Blood Oath' where the strings take on a jagged, percussive quality that feels like a physical heartbeat
The closing track's ascent into a shimmering, high-register wall of sound that feels both triumphant and deeply mournful
The way the lower strings provide a grounding, rhythmic pulse against the frantic violin arpeggios in '1962. Body Building'
