This is the missing seventh piece to Roveses Rei.

It is unfinished.  

At the time of its composition, Ж was struggling with an eating disorder, regularly refraining from eating for days at a time. This went on for years.

A lot of pain was poured into this piece surrounding the frustrations of their condition. It was removed from the opera after completion because the emotion which had been grafted onto the music were too traumatic for Ж to hear.

The opera's original tracklist is still absent of a seventh piece.

It's original name was x`xoor`l`vi soor`l rei`x, now simply "soor`l".

'Danza del Destino' unfolds like a ballet in a neon-lit dystopian dream, where violin and cello move like dancers against a cyberpunk sky. Just as a ballerina's tulle dress catches the pink and cyan lights of towering skyscrapers, the violin's melody floats and swirls above the cello's grounded strength. Through rain-slicked streets and rising steam, the instruments circle each other in an intimate pas de deux, their voices cutting through the urban glow like silhouettes in the night. The piece builds with the intensity of lovers finding each other in a world of chrome and neon, their dance a defiant act of grace amidst the city's mechanical pulse. As the music weaves between tension and release, it mirrors the perfect balance of two dancers locked in an eternal moment - one en pointe, the other supporting, both transformed by destiny's choreography into something transcendent.

Danza del Destino

This track began life as an extended outro to my other track “Une Barque Sur L’Océan - Bastardised” but, seeing more musical potential in the material than could be explored in a simple coda, I decided to pull this out into being a piece in its own right. Again working to repurpose Ravel’s ideas to portray the movement of the ocean in my own way, in this track I pushed my vision to fully exploit the saxophone’s capabilities further than ever before. The track features complex saxophone percussion as well as a triumphant sax-organ that defines the second half of the piece.

unRavel

This was my first experiment in my project covering influential repertoire. Taking Ravel’s infamous piano piece “Une barque sur l’océan”, I made it my mission to find a way to reproduce the sensations of his indulgent harmonies and fluid movement in a track with a danceable rhythm and solid structure.

Une Barque Sur L'Océan - Bastardised

Inspired by Ornette Coleman’s 1959 recording of this jazz standard, this track reimagines Lonely Woman through my own lens. After opening with grainy chords surrounding the signature melody, driving saxophone percussion and a looping rework of the bridge dramatically shift the tone.

Lonely Woman

Three-four steps and a riddim breath…
Echoes bloom where roses left…
Vienna dreams in bass and lace…
The ballroom slips into outer space…

Taffeta ghosts spin in spiral delight,
Crinolines drift in the pale strobe light.
Tea turned to tonic, grace turned to groove —
The Empress winks, and the chandeliers move.

Left, right, spin it slow —
Danube beats in vertigo.
Kick, delay, take a bow —
Strauß on vinyl, feel it now…

🎵 Waltz me in dub, let the bassline swirl,
Powdered wigs and a skanking girl.
Three steps deep in echo wine,
The ballroom bends, and so does time.
🎵 Waltz me in dub — no etiquette here,
Just rum, reverb, and Strauß in the ear…

Boots on parquet, dreadlocks twirl,
Silk and smoke in a painted world.
The maestro nods, his baton glows,
Each beat a secret only dub knows.

From Schönbrunn to Trenchtown,
The rhythm wore a crown.
Goldleaf meets ganja,
And nothing calms down…

🎵 Waltz me in dub, let the bassline sway,
Hofburg hearts in a riddim ballet.
Lace and low-end, glide and grind,
A monarch's beat for a dub-designed mind.
🎵 Waltz me in dub, where time dissolves,
And every beat a puzzle solves…

Vienna… rewind... replay…
In dub we waltz… all night, all day…

Waltz Me in Dub

Released to mark Earth Day 2025 'Requiem For A Lost World' is Christof's first String Quartet. This non-traditional String Quartet features a live string quartet recording of the written piece that has been slowed down and routed through effects to give a haunting and mesmerising sound.

The first three movements reflect on the catastrophic state of the climate and the environment (and the journey to get to this point) while the final movement asks whether there is still time to save our world.

Movement 3: Requiem - The darkness of space is our cathedral. The ruined planet our coffin. We stand as mourners looking down on the damage we have done to our home. Our world. Our Earth.

By using slowed down recordings (something which Christof has explored previously on releases 'Until I Take My Final Breath' and the score to the feature film 'Messalina's Offer') a unique sound quality is acheieved where you can hear the nuance of the performers playing, producing a very textured sound.

Movements:

1. Gathering Storm
2. Point of No Return
3. Requiem
4. But Is It Too Late?

Strings:
Violin 1: Matteo Morbidelli
Violin 2: Elisabetta Paolini
Viola: DIvusae Castrucci
Cello: Mattia Geracitano

String Quartet Direction: Stefano Tiero
String Quartet Recording: Federico Tiero

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
