Emil Palme is a Copenhagen-based experimental composer and guitarist whose practice is rooted in the experimental music and folklore of Scandinavia.
His second solo-endeavor ‘Death by angel’ is a doom requiem illuminating the path from this life to the afterlife. Death by angel is inspired by ancient mythology – the idea of the angel of death who guides our soul through the unknown. The release consists of ten movements, each symbolizing the irrefutable paths of nature that all living beings are bound and destined to walk. Death by angel represents the dissonance and harmony inherent in our view of beauty and mystery.
Stroking and scratching the strings of his instrument with self-made bows of stone, the Danish artist conjures up mesmerizing ceremonial patterns which unfolds in the hazy no-man's-land between composition and improvisation.
There is a sort of primeval quality to the music that seems a sum of all its parts. A melancholic, grand and otherworldly essence that calls upon forgotten realms, created through a modern, neo-classical approach.
