Spanning two albums, he traces the evolution from the first traces of organic existence to the emergence of consciousness and human civilization. The series kicks off with \u201cEmergence \u2013 Part I,\u201d which will be released on October 30, 2026, and features eight instrumental compositions. Musically, cool electronic structures meet cinematic soundscapes, atmospheric post-rock, and melancholic echoes of the 1980s. Influences from soundtrack aesthetics and art rock round out this intense sonic universe.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Watch the video:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EyXCXXpM6uA?si=5nuaMj6ZTLraKocH\" title=\"Age of Life \u2013 Epoch One (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EyXCXXpM6uA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Already subscribed to our newsletter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:53px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38308\" style=\"width:214px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orkus1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Wunsch-CD-Geschenk-636x636.jpg 636w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/orkus1.com\/en\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe to our newsletter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Choose your favorite CD as a subscription bonus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-28206b41 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.orkus-shop.de\/c\/abo\/deutschland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscription premium<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While his main project, Collapse Under the Empire, is taking a creative hiatus, co-founder Chris Burda is using the time for an ambitious solo project: With *Age of Life*, he is creating a musical concept album about the evolution of life on Earth.
