Stephan Mathieu ~ RADIANCE X: HER DARK GAZE DROWNED IN LIGHT

Her Dark Gaze Drowned In Light is a re-narration of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1932 film, Vampyr. While Stephan Mathieu‘s music isn’t really a score to the film, it is etched in the film’s gloomy, ill-defined imaginings, and the disorienting drones play
