Still riding the high from the performance of „in darkness let me dwell“ for
@musik_installationen_nuernberg last week. Here’s a random assortment of audience documentation from friends, strangers (thanks especially to
@julia98.4 and Luisa) and my professor JP Raether from
@liveartforms , to which I owe the creation of this work!! Thanks to the inner team of bog bodies
@sinifalte and
@urigelli , who were dream collaborators / conspirators / evil dead pop stars. Thanks to
@laresmetal for your patience and openness (and bone crunching screams) , to
@_mennobenno_ for bringing the lute into the realm of experimental noise, to
@jaekeleva and
@bowdyke for being the most dysfunctional doomer sibling duo, to
@_.origami._ for singing backwards, and of course to Elke Stein-Nagel for so graciously agreeing to lose her head. Being haunted by the spectres of dead futures requires a different kind of exorcism, one that doesn’t rely on nostalgia hope or utopian thinking. Here we are dwelling, repeating, enduring, thinking about a kind of ecstatic doom that is a practice of the impossible and a ritual of failure. Holding out for the idea of an outside. Thanks to everyone involved, also to
@julianschenk_ for recording, mixing and mastering and
@k_lee_vegas for the nimble camera work. More documentation to come!
