Secret of Elements crafts an “interstellar electronic ballad” on new album

Choral ambience, 18th century organs, and “mechanical percussion”.

German composer Secret of Elements, aka Johann Pätzold, is releasing a new retrospective album, called Chronos, via InFiné this April.

The album traces ten years of Pätzold’s life, chronicling his work with refugees in Greece, love, divorce and more.
