The Screen Behind the Mirror

Enigma

A dense collision of Carl Orff's operatic thunder and late-night electronic pulses. Whispered secrets meet astronomical data in a lush, midnight soundscape.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition in track 1 where a dry narration of Mars' orbital data is suddenly pierced by the thunderous 'O Fortuna' choir.
The middle of 'Push the Limits' where an electric guitar is so heavily processed it mimics the undulating, organic wail of a human voice.
The way 'Gravity of Love' anchors its massive operatic sample with a heavy, slow-motion trip-hop beat that feels like walking through water.
