Note:

I'm thrilled to share this work, and to bring it to realization with the help of some truly amazing musicians. This mass is particularly close to my heart; in some ways it's fairly traditional—it is a mass, after all—but there's something about it that I find intensely new and striking, and I hope this comes through in the recording.

Before I began working on this piece, I had been wanting to write a mass for some time. I tried starting into the project several times, but while each followed the sentiment of the mass and illustrated the words well, something seemed to be missing. I knew that I would only be happy with a setting if it not only brought the words to life but presented a vivid musical interpretation of the idea of a mass. The music, in other words, would need to speak completely for itself.

It wasn't until an extended period of traveling across the country that the right ideas began to come. The Kyrie began to take shape during these travels, and most of that movement came suddenly during a wild thunderstorm in Brooklyn, while I sat in an old building looking out at the stone walls of an old cathedral. The feel of that thunderstorm is still almost tangible to me—as is the peculiar exhilaration and awe that I felt at seeing it after having been away from dramatic weather for years since moving from the east coast to San Francisco—and it stayed with me as I wrote the rest of the mass.

This setting of the mass is particularly dark and tremendous, and some may complain that movements like the Gloria are less celebratory than is conventional. For me, though, this is a sincere and deeply human interpretation. It focuses on the human experience of worship in a way that is perhaps closer to the medieval or Renaissance tradition than to the Classical and Romantic interpretations, embracing the turmoil, fear, awe, wonder, and sublimity inherent in the text and practice of the mass, and refusing to shy away from the intensity of the experience. In this way, I hope it evokes the ageless sentiments of the mass and brings them to the present in a way that feels both ancient and electrifyingly real.

Track Notes
~~~~~~~~~~
With this track my aim was to compose a piece which not only evoked images of medieval times, but that actually sounded like it might have been composed during that time. I'm not an expert on medieval music, but at the very least I think this one comes closer than any of my other pieces.

The name "Ad Domum Dei" is Latin for "To the House of God". The image, meanwhile, is one of a monk sneaking a drink of an alcoholic beverage. The combination of the track title and picture allude to the corruption in the church during the middle ages.

I hope you guys enjoy this trip back to the 1300s. Please use headphones!

Paleowolf continues the archetypal journey with the new thematic album. Fourth full length release “Primal Earth” delivers archaic, meditative paleoambient, and takes you on an atmospheric journey deeper into the obscure past. Witness the dawn of complex life on Earth – the mysterious and majestic Paleozoic-Mesozoic era. We embark on a voyage through the archaic Devonian seas and immense swampy forests of Carboniferous; across the amphibian Permian landscapes; up to the tropical Triassic, Jurassic and into Cretaceous - the final dominion of titanic reptilian beasts.
