about

Created to sink deep into the consciousness like coffins sink into the tomb: a soundtrack for a fictitious film noir. The listener witnesses a fatal story of inevitable doom, an insidious labyrinth of fateful incidents, looming danger and inner turmoil which however also evokes redeeming august virtues. Foreboding moods of eerie scenes in smoky twilight, thrilling scenes unveiling tragic affairs, menacing moments reaching a visceral intensity. Blood-curdling noise eruptions bear witness to merciless deeds. Yet there's also a transcending liberating power which brings equilibrium.

There are ominous and reflective electroacoustic ambiances, featuring also accomplices, Swiss violinist Georges-Emmanuel Schneider on different violin types, and US vocalist Maria Estrella Aggabao, providing haunting chants for deeply soothing contrasts carrying the album to a grand finale.

"A tremendously gripping, very cinematic album ...with immensely great arcs of suspense which build a cohesive unity and atmosphere."
(Radio Hannover, Ecki Stieg's "Grenzwellen" radio show)

"...Highly recommended!" - top 10 "best film-like music of 2017“
(reviews.headphonecommute.com/2017/12/11/morgen-wurde-assassinous-act-time-released-sound)

"The instrumental vibrancy of the songs works to their advantage for they run the emotional gamut from anxiety to horror to regret, all with the greatest of skill. ... “Assassinous Act” shows off Morgen Wurde’s uncanny knack for storytelling."
(www.beachsloth.com/morgen-wurde-assassinous-act.html)

"Dark ambient movements that play out like Ulver’s Svidd Neger, with hints of Julianna Barwick and Richard Skelton’s *AR. A brood scandinavian murder mystery."
(www.normanrecords.com/records/166820#)

"When the vocals add to the already beautiful music, it gets an ethereal and magic glow, yielding a narcotic impact. To sum it all up, think of a mix of Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore, Vieo Abiungo, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Gas, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Arvo Pärt, and Deaf Center. This album really has become a gripping beauty. Criminally good!"

Morgen Wurde Kiel, Germany

Ethereal drama.
Setting the unfathomable wonder of the Dasein to emotive music, creating the "Morgen Wurde" form of haunting lyric soundscapes. The majestic and threatening ambivalence of the forces of nature, set to dark romantic fusions of ambient and neo-classical music. ... more
