If Paul Giger's early albums were temples of the spirit, then ars moriendi is a waystation of the flesh—if not vice versa. The ambiguity of such distinctions gives the album a timeless charge. Across the pages of its cavernous imaginings, Giger writes a real-time scripture of inspiration, building on echoes of lives before and since.
The album explores the theme of transience throughout its nine original tracks, which features Marie-Louise Dähler (harpsichord/chest organ), Pudi Lehmann (gongs/percussion), Franz Vitzthum (Altus), and the Carmina Quartet
