Daniel McDermott - "Memento Mori"

Featuring a cavalcade of rolling piano lines that rise and crest with lunar regularity, stray melodies, disembodied vocals and heavy organ drones the Irish artist Daniel McDermott’s “Memento Mori” is a striking and deeply affecting piece of work that strikes at the fragility of existence. According to the press release, “The music is inspired by the writings/philosophy of Ed Calderon, a man who chronicles the beauty and tragedy of Mexico and its endless violence. Stillness is death.” Fans of Tim Hecker and Sarah Davachi will find a lot to love.
