This work was created using short wave radio signals, feedback, voice, various effects and filters as well as different works of the Italian Baroque composer [a=Alessandro Scarlatti] as central sound source. Scarlatti (1660-1725) is especially famous for his operas and chamber cantatas and is considered the founder of the "Italian overture" form. The title of this album refers to the Lyke-Wake Dirge, a 14th-century English funeral chant from north Yorkshire (which chorus is sung by Yannick Franck on the last part). It is a warning about the lack of empathy and generosity and their repercussions within the travel of the soul on its way to heaven. "La foi consiste à ne jamais renier dans les ténèbres ce qu'on a entrevu dans la lumière." Gustave Thibon Made in EU
