To mark the 700th anniversary of Dante’s masterpiece The Divine Comedy, more than 80 artists from all over the world have created his vision of Hell through sound – this is the Cities and Memory Inferno.
Facing the architecture of darkness, I chose the realm of Phlegethon, or did it choose me? The Phlegethon is the boiling river of blood that comprised the first part of the Seventh Circle of Hell.
“Within this river are those tyrants so aptly punished in boiling blood.” — Virgil.
Composition Souls on Fire is conceptualized around the realm of darkness deeply seeded in the human soul, which reflects in extreme actions such as murder, tyranny, and violence, and fuels the deepest fears we struggle to comprehend or even only to look at.
