Todeserfahrung
SINGLE
Narrative Film
Beautiful, epic work expanding GAG's dramatic art rock into electronic and contemporary-classical territory. 45-person string orchestra (Czech FILMharmonic).
"Todeserfahrung" is a beautiful and epic work featuring a stylistic expansion on Ghost Against Ghost's melodic, dramatic art rock — exploring more electronic experimental sounds than the expansive album still love. Featuring a 45-person string orchestra (Czech FILMharmonic, known for Arcade Fire, Ridley Scott, Celine Dion) and composer Christopher Bono's visionary productions, it's a fascinating fusion of electronic, contemporary classical and ambient influences. Christopher Bono writes: "Coming from the same series of compositions as Checkpoint Charlie, Todeserfahrung was written in a state of heartbreak in Berlin. 'Todeserfahrung' is the title of a Rainer Maria Rilke poem, and translates as 'Death Experience'… 'Todeserfahrung' marks a sound I was striving for, pre-still love album, that weaved electronic influences with my classic interests." Second release in the Οία (Oía) series; Checkpoint Charlie (2015) was the first.
