| Extra Information | This music was inspired by Yamaha's voice synthesizer "Vocaloid", with a mesmerizing Miriam voice. It was written to be sung by the synthesizer in 2005. Lyrics refer to one of The Seven Sins of Memory, with non-prominent parts set to words from Mozart’s Requiem, which is in turns taken from an ancient liturgy Dies Irae, or the Day of Wrath. |
