Christopher Chaplin - Patriarchs Live (2023)

"Performing Patriarchs live for me is like following the path of the songline, the path of a dreaming track, the route followed by our primordial 'creator-beings'". (Christopher Chaplin)

After his praised album trilogy “Je suis le Ténébreux” (2016), “Paradise Lost” (2018), and “M” (2020), London-based musician and avant-garde composer Christopher Chaplin released a major new work “Patriarchs” in 2021. The album is based on the ten antediluvian patriarchs, from Adam to Noah and their journey from the darkness of the Fall towards enlightenment.

Another powerful work of art, located between electronic music and avant-garde. Once again, Christopher Chaplin breaks genre boundaries and manages to condense experimental and colorful electronics in chamber music in a unique way, transporting the listener into mental and spatiotemporal intermediate states. A completely unique musical microcosm that can also be experienced in his impressive solo live performances.
