I have always been fond of Dante's Inferno, having read it back around
1987 in a world Literature class and it wasn't recently until I thought
how interesting it would be to render an ambient interpretation of this
classic masterpiece.

Whereas with other compositions I've written that were inspired by different writings, I had utilized sound effects from freesound.org to assist in the interpretation of the work,
I decided not to do that at all with this album. I wanted the imagination of
the listener to lead the interpretation to a larger degree and felt that adding
such effects would paint a sonic picture where there really wasn't much room
for interpretation.

I did research on the poem as well as read through parts again and came
up with song titles reflecting the mortal sin of each circle as well as
putting a central character from each of those circles to give the
tracks a bit of a narrative quality.

Besides using my Ensoniq ts-12, I asked Jack Hertz to collaborate and
add his unique ambient voice to the project and his contributions are
simply outstanding. He brought out sonic possibilities that take the
tracks to a whole new plateau. The resulting effort will surely scare
the hell out of you and lead you on a journey through Dante's inferno
from the Vestibule where Virgil and Dante first embark on their journey
to the chilling encounter with Lucifer himself who is eternally bound in
the ice of the ninth circle.

Thank you for having the courage to listen.
