The new album has shaped up to be something of an evolution for TesseracT. Obviously there’s the new voice, which is exciting for us to work with. Ashe [O'Hara] brings such an intense level of emotion to the table it feels as if we have added another dimension to the music. We’ve also travelled so much and met so many incredible and inspiring musicians since the first album. This has had a huge impact upon our song writing. Also, we now enjoy playing with dynamics and instrumentation. This came from releasing an acoustic EP last year. We’re no longer afraid to mix things up or stray from the expected path, which we feel we did with our first album. That was in the box, whilst this album is way out there for us. Don’t be afraid though, whilst it has evolved, our music is still somehow TesseracT. It’s like there is something just beneath the surface of everything we do, that shapes all we produce into a distinctly TesseracT-ish form.
I’m waiting!

The album is a 51 minutes continuous piece divided in four sections: “Of Matter”, “Of Mind”, “Of Reality” and “Of Energy”, containing several tracks each. TesseracT is going for a softer, with more jazz and some folk influences sounding.
