The Physics of Heaven is a collaborative work with italian ambient master Oöphoi (Gianluigi Gasparetti). It is a bright and ethereal jouney that explores the transition between life and death thru different spiritual traditions and mythologies.
On “Amnios: The Complete Recordings”, Oöphoi envisioned the very
beginnings of life. Now in collaboration with Ran Kirlian, Oöphoi
explores what Heaven maybe like on “The Physics of Heaven”. From the
first Breath and the Ascent, the ethereal cords and pads are light
filled providing the listener with a broad sense of uneasy serenity
with natural sounds. Seamlessly, a sagacity of the enigmatic prevails
as one looks across the White Shores of fluid pads with no end in
sight… Just past the midway, the colors turn to obscurer hues through
the granular drones of Transmigration unfolding only to The Golden
Fields of peace with some of the brightest tenors over waves that fade,
leaving the last few notes of life. Upon death, there is a reflection
on legacy, the footsteps left behind…
Oöphoi and Ran Kirlian have left us with more than just the soundscapes to contemplate but the eternal.
