Philological notes:
the first bars of track 3 are based on Bach's prelude n.1 in C major from the Well Tempered Clavier
the second part of track 4 is based on the common melody for "Agnus Dei" widely used in Catholic liturgy, no official attribution available
the first bars of track 5 are based on Bach's three parts invention n.13 n A minor
"Apotropaic Conjecture" is a hymn to the imaginative power of magical thinking and the exotic charm of its contraptions.
Although the concept has been in my head for a while, it only came to fruition in the last few months: it was quick, inspired and a lot of fun.
The content may sound a little more experimental than previous works, but I hope it will find appreciation among the brave hearts of this lovely community.
Happy listening!
