About the show: Soundtrack to the Apocalypse
Soundtrack to the Apocalypse is a new work melding jazz and beat based hip hop: responding to present reality and exploring the cosmic mysteries of the future. It’s an energetic and danceable perspective on ‘The End Times.’
Responding to a range of current events from A.I, to global wars and cataclysmic climate change – there are unexpected musical shifts in gear, from reflective ballads to explosive beats.
Inspired by the original Greek meaning of the Apocalypse as the “Unveiling,” it takes a more hopeful interpretation of how a shift in global consciousness might sound and feel. As Kinch describes, “Even in the midst of painful revelation, music, dance and human connection could bring us back to ourselves, and birth a new way of seeing.”
