about

Video single: youtu.be/T-yH_RI4r78

Originally composed for the soundtrack to Canadian author Liz Worth's novel Post-Apoc. The lyrics are taken from a makeshift spellbook in the novel which the protagonist is given by a pair of reclusive twin oracles and reads something like a modern-day Revelations.

Except for the tolling bell, all sounds heard on the track are processed vocal samples of narrator Julia De Palma that have been collaged and layered to create a distinctive, otherworldly atmosphere over which snippets of the text are recited out of sequence.
