After|Life by Brian McCarthy

With AFTER|LIFE, the scope and ambition of the nonet has expanded on a cosmic scale. While originally pondered a series of pieces reflecting on different cultures’ concepts of life after death, I found myself compelled more by science than spirituality. The cyclical nature of the universe, the possibility that it will eventually collapse and then explode into a reborn reality – and the distinct possibility that this has already happened, perhaps many times – was enthralling enough to fuel an hour’s worth of adventurous, stargazing music that traces the life cycle of our solar system.
The life that we're living is basically a form of whatever came before us, In that sense, we exist in the after life. I’m fascinated by the fact that all the molecules that make up our bodies, our atmosphere, the planet that we live on and all the planetary bodies around us were once a part of the same giant structure. We are all inevitably connected, even at a molecular level, no matter how different we might think we are.

The Revolution will be heard!
