Written as a modular synth prequel to his 2023 BBC Concert Orchestral work, God Docks at Death Harbor, Endling lands on Erased Tapes takes the listener on a 43-minute odyssey through an intense and beautiful landscape, set hundreds of years into the future. 

“One morning my wife woke up from a dream with a phrase in her mind — “God Docks at Death Harbor, explains Naqvi. I was just starting to write a new work for the BBC Concert Orchestra, and when she told me about this dream of words, it very quickly seeped into the fabric of the music.

Her words were a poem to me, evoking very specific imagery. I imagined our planet hundreds of years into the future, where the human race no longer exists. I imagined a world peacefully restoring itself in the absence of us, because we’re no longer around to destroy it and ourselves. This became the tenet of the work."
