Zhea Erose - Overcast Angelus [orchestral piece + film]

December 29th --- it was an incredibly windy and overcast day. It looked so dreary, so blue, so empty. While in my home, I was comforted by the glistening sounds of my wind chimes. Immediately, I realized I needed to capture film of the chimes.

I started processing the film and audio. I realized the aggressive wind made the audio track difficult to work with so I dug up an old orchestral practice composition.

The Angelus exemplifies a species of prayers called the "prayer of the devotee". The devotion was traditionally recited in Roman Catholic churches, convents, and monasteries three times daily: 6:00 am, noon, and 6:00 pm. This is my Overcast Angelus.
