Beirut - guericke's unicorn, 2025

"‘A Study of Losses’ is an 18-track odyssey commissioned from Zachary by the theater and performance art company Kompani Giraff, for an acrobatic show of the same name. As a free interpretation of Judith Schalansky’s novel ‘Verzeichnis einiger Verluste,’ ‘A Study of Losses’ travels through eleven songs and seven extended instrumental themes, named after lunar seas and inspired by the chilling tale of a man obsessed with archiving all of humanity’s lost thoughts and creations. As with the novel, the new Beirut-signed album sees Condon writing about the disappearance, preservation and impermanence of everything we know: extinct animal species, lost architectural and literary treasures, the aging process and other abstract concepts."
