Overview

‘Everything is alive; everything is interconnected,’ as Cicero put it. The Roman statesman and philosopher’s observation applies to the work of O/Modernt, which flows freely across genre boundaries and category definitions to reveal fresh perspectives on music past and present. The Alchemy of Yearning expresses a shared longing for peace and the aspiration to transcend human nature.
