Septemundos
Seven Worlds
Septemundos is by far the most expansive project in my career to date. A large-scale, multi-movement, hybrid orchestral work, the album conveys through music seven sweeping narratives I've wanted to tell since childhood.
I. Graecus
The Greek World
The gods of Ancient Greece are nearly destroyed by a reawakened and vengeful Ouranos. With the world in danger of obliberation, a young demigod leads the armies of men against the primordial deity and his many monsters.
II. Tribus
The Tribal World
In the deep wilderness of an exotic planet, a small tribe begins to make a name for itself amidst several warring powers. Conflict ensues, and it falls to the chief of the tribe to inspire his people to victory.
III. Incorporeus
The Incorporeal World
A group of teens finds itself in a strange but beautiful realm threatened by dark forces. Moved to help, the trio embarks on an action-packed adventure through all manner of exotic environments, enemies, and trippy physics.
IV. Heroicus
The Heroic World
A metallurgist and his brother are amongst a number of people struck by a freak solar flare and given supernatural abilities. Finding themselves on opposite sides of an ideological divide, the brothers-turned-foes eventually lead their allies to all-out war.
V. Stellatus
The Stellar World
Space, normally a haven for science and discovery, becomes a warzone as alien forces appear and attempt to raze the Earth. Earth's people respond with a force of their own, though not before massive casualties occur.
VI. Tyrannicus
The Tyrannical World
A once-great nation has succumbed to oppression and injustice and plans to reshape the world to its evil designs. Desperate to thwart this, a group of escaped renegades builds the recently colonized continent of Antarctica into a country capable of preserving freedom.
VII. Ignotus
The Unknown World
Earth has unified in the name of progress, and progress reaches its pinnacle once scientists unlock interdimensional travel. Though a great period of exploration ensues, the resulting unraveling of time and space forces mankind to curb its vanity.
