This album is an absolute must-listen, weaving together profound themes of existence and human experience in a way that only The Allegorist, aka Anna Jordan, can achieve.
From Birth Until Death is a six-year labour of love, an introspective concept album that explores life’s journey through sound art. Grounded in the rich tapestry of Andean mythology, particularly the condor, a symbol of immortality, this masterpiece masterfully integrates electronic soundscapes with evocative field recordings, creating a visceral connection between humanity and the natural world.

The album flows as a meditative journey through life’s spectrum, offering unique reflections on birth, growth, and the inevitable end. From the pulsating energy of “Momentum” to the dreamlike realm of “Fata Morgana,” each track highlights the complex emotions and experiences that shape us.
In the enchanting music video for “Birth,” directed by acclaimed visual artist VOJD, recognised for his innovative work with Berlin’s CTM Festival, a surreal landscape comes to life. It’s an otherworldly expanse where cryptic messages echo and lost artefacts shimmer under the gaze of celestial bodies. Life emerges from the soil, pulsating with an energy that hints at rebirth and rebirth again. Amidst this haunting beauty lies a hard drive, a testament to The Allegorist’s artistic essence, blinking alive in a vast desert of forgotten memories.
This project goes beyond categorisation, resonating with those yearning for the unconventional. The intricate production of From Birth Until Death is noteworthy, blending field recordings from natural settings like Grunewald Forest with layered synthesisers and electronic beats. The deliberate rawness of certain vocal takes captures the spontaneous energy of the creative process, intertwining with polished elements to create a living, breathing work of art.
At its heart, From Birth Until Death compels listeners to reflect on their own existence. The title track embodies this introspection, while the closing track, “Death,” urges us to rethink endings as integral moments within the grand cycle of life. With its evocative sound design and deeply personal themes, this album not only invites reflection but also fosters profound growth and transformation.
