about

Music to awake Anubis himself from his ancient slumbers! This unsettling piece attempts to evoke the ancient Egyptian concept of the perilous passage to the afterlife which the departed soul was believed to have to take.

Throughout the underworld journey, the deceased’s spirit would have to contend with gods, strange creatures and gatekeepers to reach Osiris and the Hall of Final Judgment. Here they would plead their case for entry into the afterlife...

An orchestrated version of this composition originally featured in my 2019 EP, "Ancient Egyptian Magic" - skilfully produced by the Egyptian film score composer, Remon Sakr.
