Apeiron Anxiety
According to the 6th century Greek philosopher Anaximander, 'apeiron' is a state of primal chaos. It is the limitless, undefinable everything from which all is created & the essential form back to which all will ultimately return. Apeiron constantly & infinitely creates the building blocks of everything, including all states of opposition such as heat & cold, dry & wet, only to then destroy & remake it all anew in a boundless, eternal cycle. It seems that humanity in the 21st century is living i…

I Come From Sexta
First vocal album from Camille D’Arc. Camille is an artist and poet. Whether poetry or music, it doesn't really matter—this is a sonic unity that speaks for itself. I Come From Sexta is the slowly crystallized fruit of a myriad of Camille’s voices, captured during moments of meditation and retreats she moves through as thresholds of consciousness, where she channels languages she receives and transmits in a langage she calls DXDA.
There is no written poetry here, but rather a composition of a…

Lacrimosa
Deeply tied to the composer’s own life, the narrative of Lacrimosa invites reflection in the face of loss. This sonic work draws inspiration from Alice Coltrane’s spiritual Eternity (1976) as well as the traditional structure of the Requiem, a mass for the dead. One of its sections, the Dies Irae, evokes Judgment Day and concludes with the Lacrimosa (literally, “full of tears”), depicting the weeping of souls in search of salvation.
In Lacrimosa, Low Jack transforms autobiographical elements int…
Rothko Chapel / For Frank O'Hara
