IEntry · Opaline Lament (Life From The Beyond)
Psychological horror meditation between chamber music and spectral cinema: haunting strings, somber beauty, and ghostly grief.
The most exposed writing on the reel: a single melodic line carried by close-miked strings, harmonised in fifths and then left alone. It is the cue that most clearly shows the chamber side of the studio, and it was released as a single in its own right.
For grief, for a funeral that is not quite a funeral, and for endings that need to be sad rather than frightening.
