Nemesis – the background story
Amauron, a priest born blind, has the gift of sight, he receives visions of the gods. When people lose their humility and fall for hubris, the deity of arrogance and excess, there is a massacre of the priesthood. Amauron, as the only surviving priest, addresses a prayer to Nemesis, the deity of balance and wrath, imploring retribution.
Nemesis Part 5 – the song
The song begins with a musical theme in 7/8 depicting the massacre of the priests. This is followed by a 13/8 part, which is first interpreted as 6/8 and 7/8. This part is introduced by a "sacred boy's voice" and serves as a carpet for Aumauron's prayer. The prayer itself is completely spoken, the voice was dramaturgically "pimped" with some effects. In the second part of the prayer, the 13/8 is interpreted as 4/4 and 5/8 which creates a driving effect and serves as a build-up to the last part of Nemesis Part 5. In this part, which we have set up again in 7/8, Nemesis answers Amauron's prayer which triggers the god's enormous wrath. This part is the dramaturgical climax of the song and is also an important twist in the overall story.
Nemesis – the other parts
Currently we are working on Nemesis Part 1, which is actually already completely composed and ready to go in my head. But the realization is sure to drag on for a while, especially the orchestral parts are quite labor-intensive.
