Absolution
Product Description Dark, neoclassical and dramatic music with enchanting female vocals, with influences ranging from ancient chant to contemporary soundtrack and classical chamber music. About the Artist In the tenebrous gloom of September 1995, two dark souls joined creative forces to become Autumn Tears. Erika (vocals, musical arrangements), and Ted (all keyboards and piano, musical arrangements, vocals), set out to create music which illustrated the darkness which was writhing within their souls. After an intensive period of song writing and rehearsing, they entered West Sound Studios to commit to tape the works they had created. In April of 1996, their first CD, Love Poems for Dying Children: Act I was released through Dark Symphonies, their own record label. The music of Love Poems consisted of symphonic arrangements designed to evoke intense emotions of sadness and loneliness in the listener. Influences include ancient chants, classical music, contem porary (Dead Can Dance, Stoa, Enya) The first release of Act 1 is out of print, but due to an overwhelming amount of requests we have decided to re-release the album with a new layout and artwork in the near future. All tracks will be remixed and remastered. As a bonus, we will also include a brand new, additional and exclusive track entitled "The Intermission". (release date 10/98). In May 1997, Autumn Tears released their second full-length album, The Garden of Crystalline Dreams - Love Poems for Dying Children, Act II". Drawn upon their omnipresent melancholia yet also a wealth of anger brooding within, Ted and Erika took Autumn Tears to a higher, more complete level. After another long seclusion in West Sound, the duo emerged with an even more majestic installment of the abstract story illustrated by the first album, again released by Dark Symphonies in an incredible package.
