notes

Reading is a magical event. As the pages turn, text is instantaneously translated into a virtual movie that plays within your mind. But have you ever watched a movie without a soundtrack? If so, you may have noticed that an entire layer of emotion was lost. The same dialogue spoken the same way with and without music can invoke two totally different responses from the audience. So why would it be any different for a movie that plays inside your head?

Theatre Of Life uses this basic premise to take you on a musical journey unlike any other that you have ever experienced before. At the heart of the project is a series of thought-provoking stories that focus around our everyday struggles with life and death. Each volume features a short novella or libretto and an accompanying synchronized concept album. The libretto contains timed cues for the reader to reference as the album continuously plays on in the background, resulting in a complete soundtrack for the story that is unfolding inside your mind. Of course, either the libretto or the CD can stand equally on its own. But the two working together is truly an experience that you will never forget.

There's a voice inside your head. And, now, that voice has a soundtrack. This is the Theatre Of Life.

Volume IV: Our Suffering picks up where Volume I: Nightmares left off. What we thought was only a final dream was really the transferred thoughts of a soldier who had been sent to war and now lay dying after having been fatally wounded. This album takes us on a journey through a brave man's dying thoughts as he flashes back to tell us the story of his life, and intermittently has premonitions about how his friends and family will react to his untimely death. But are the reactions real, or just a dying man's vision of what might have happened upon his death?
