Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre)

Apparat

A haunting, skeletal score for Tolstoy's War and Peace. Distressed strings and lonely piano notes dissolve into beautiful, static-filled electronic drifts.

It's like watching a black-and-white film about a winter war through a layer of beautiful digital static.

A cold, desolate beauty that feels like wandering through an empty, historic palace in the dead of winter.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the skeletal piano of 44 into the abrasive, immersive static of the noise version.
The way the pizzicato strings on K&F Thema create a rhythmic tension that feels like a ticking clock.
The fragile vocal entry on Blank Page that feels like a human voice struggling to be heard over a void.
