Silent Night (Demo)

Matti Häyry 2020-12-03 | Silent Night is the 24th song of the rock-opera trilogy that started with Orkid (2017) and continues with J and I (Silent Night is the 8th song on that) and finally Luci (both in the works). The song will, eventually, be performed by the entire cast of the Visitors from Bellatrix. On this demonstration track, it is performed by a mini-Visitors ensemble. Music, lyrics, arrangement, most studio engineering, production, male vocals and all instrumental and other audio elements Matti Häyry, female vocals Maarit Laihonen, some studio engineering by Lacce Väyrynen, and visual elements by Matti Häyry and Gustave Doré. Storyline: J breaks out of the triangle of Visitors formed by J and I. I is still in the original Bellatrix form, hence both female and male. J descends on Earth to save humanity, with well-narrated consequences in the European cultural tradition. I is/are left alone to ponder their loneliness.
