“He would have hated this music.
My father died on February 2, 2025. As I said my last goodbye to him, the tolling bells of the village church echoed in my mind, and a composition began to take shape.
This album is my response to his death. In mourning, my emotions gave way to a musical rendering of a threshold, the transition between life and death.
The emergence of animals and environmental apparitions – the death knell that rang at the village church marking my father’s passing, the howling of foxes at night, the slithering of worms and the wails of peacocks – became omens, weaving the narrative of this record.”
– Ombrée
