Ascension is the second chapter of the Tetragon Project, after 2021's Oracles.
Ascension: the album
Composer and producer Stefan Zaradić is again at the centre, with saxophonist and flautist Wolfgang Opitz and percussionist Wolfram Winkel. Compared with Oracles, strong beats and rhythmic pulses enter soundscapes born from improvisation sessions.
Guests include Melanie Bong and Martin Kälberer. The 2025 edition includes a bonus video and 38 minutes of live concert at Groundlift.
