![]() ![]() Our second piece from the Gate of Hell was created by Christopher Hill, who writes: Wanting to avoid representing Hell through simple drones and sheets of noise, instead the entrance to Hell announces itself through building waves of arpeggiated Buchla and Jupiter lines, building the tension until Dante and Virgil leave behind the earthly realm – but on their divine mission, they will retain hope. The birdsong fades away as we leave the forest, and the sounds of the natural world are replaced by an ominous drone belching forth from the entrance of Hell to warn away passers-by. As they move through, voices begin to whisper the warning written on Hell’s Gate with increasing insistence, while a solo singing voice declares the presence of devils. ![]() ![]() The first piece here, created by Cities and Memory, develops as a journey – first, we hear the birdsong of the dark forest as Dante and Virgil walk on. “Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’intratre” / “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” We continue our tour of the Inferno, and today we reach the gate of Hell – Canto Three represents Dante’s last moments in the earthly realm before entering Hell – and contains the most famous lines of the entire Divine Comedy. ![]() Published on: 25th November 2020 Published in: Latest ![]()
