Mercury Soul: Cathedral Episode 1

The journey begins with diverse perspectives on mystical music from across the globe. Claude Debussy’s “Sunken Cathedral” is performed in the vast beauty of Saint Joseph’s Cathedral, animated by legendary designer architect Ken Fulks, followed by the traditional Indian “Bho Shambho” on mridangam and flute. Icelandic visionary Johann Johannsson’s “Sálfræðingur” and Mason Bates’ “Tectonic Plates” integrate strings and beats in meditative ways.
