Exponentia releases gothic single ‘Die Kunde der Engel’ on Neris Records
Exponentia releases the gothic-neoclassical single “Die Kunde der Engel” on Neris Records, returning the project to its symphonic, melancholic sound.
Exponentia, the French gothic and neoclassical project of Ludovic Dhenry, has released the single “Die Kunde der Engel” on Neris Records. The track is out now and follows a reorganisation of Dhenry’s projects that returns Exponentia to gothic and neoclassical music.
“Die Kunde der Engel” runs about seven minutes, built on a distorted industrial drum machine and a full symphonic string section, and uses a vocal approach the project calls “Whisper Scream.” It closes with a sound-design passage that Dhenry describes as an angelic message entering the listener’s soul. He has restructured his activity around his own label, Neris Records, which now handles his separate projects; he has said Eleventh Fear is now dedicated to dark techno, while Exponentia “returns to focus fully on Gothic / Neoclassical music.”
Exponentia is not new to Side-Line: the project featured in a Click Interview with Exponentia in 2016, and Side-Line later reported that a new album was in the making.
