Salted Shroud from LAMINARIA by Concetta Abbate
MOVEMENT 1
In movement one, “The Devil’s Apron”, we experience the
perspective of a ghost living in a detached consciousness
grasping to connect with its surroundings. Similar to sleep
paralysis, where one is aware that they are sleeping but
cannot open their eyes. The ghost struggles as it is trapped
behind its own darkness. This movement is meant to
invoke feelings of frustration and claustrophobia.

Shadows marking eyelids,
flames that bleed when light shines through
