Details:
âA flight into the Abyssâ is a mixture of original house, disco, drum and bass, dub reggae, ambient and avant-garde music. However the influence of jazz is huge, which is evident in the chords, harmonies and drums. There are also experimental tracks that contain advanced saxophone performance techniques, such as the altissimo register, multiphonics, harmonics, growls and special effects. The songs are laid out in the theme of Chrisâs life. This ranges from working in an architectâs office, to being a student and working abroad. The music represents personal emotions and humanity thought these years.
