A lament or lamentation is a passionate expression of grief, often in music, poetry, or song form. The grief is most often born of regret, or mourning. Laments constitute some of the oldest forms of writing, and examples exist across human cultures. LAMENT it’s a celebration of the power of sound evoking such territories as the Jewish and Romanian doina, the Southern Italy’s lamentazioni, the Scottish pibroch (piobaireachd), the Albanian and Greek meditative styles, the conventional fixture of the heroine’s lament in baroque opera. These references are blended with today’s electronics and processing. Not categorizable into a specific genre or style, LAMENT has been defined by the critic as a “shamanic action” and an “unforgettable experience”.
