ORTHODOXIA KAI THANATOS

Orthodoxia Kai Thanatos takes a linguistic, psychoanalytic, and anthropological approach to Christian Orthodox chants. The hymns, absorbed over time and recorded in a single take, draw from a wide range of traditions and languages, including Aramaic, Arabic, Coptic, Ethiopian, Greek, Macedonian, and Church Slavonic.
