In the Basement of Apollo Hall

"In the Basement of Apollo Hall" delves into the greatest and most significant question for a composer: What is music, and why does it exist? Attempting an answer Appelqvist draws upon the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's theories about art, where the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus are used to describe humanity's inherent conflict between order and chaos, a tension that also plays out within the music.
