Anticantate is divided into two sections. First you'll hear a collage of short, intimate and personal stories, all with the underlying darkness of an unknown and catastrophic future. The second part is a musical translation of a collective jump into enlightenment, a freeze frame before complete destruction conducted by an unprecedented global human mindset. The two sections are held together by the Japanese myth of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun who hides in a cave from her evil brother Susa No-o bringing darkness to the world. The end of time is here. After a long time the gods decide to get her out of her cave by tricking her. They pulled her out and put her on the grass. A brilliant sun warmed her face.
