Description/Reviews
"II:XII, À Priori Memoriaé" brings together a host of classical musicians with the Echo Us core, to create a work that starts in the past, but finishes in futuristic fashion.
‘A Priori’ literally means “from the former” in Latin. The album looks back on other levels of consciousness expressed in the preceding works of the trilogy, as if within an afterlife. Flowing as one long work based off of a few melodic motifs, "Priori Memoria" is truly a ‘classical’ work in many ways, fusing ancient and modern instruments to create a stream of consciousness.
