Heaven Only Empty is an extractable quartet from The Secret Noise: a collection of works inspired by music-making that has been deliberately shielded from public life. Heaven Only Empty is a playful response to ‘backmasking’: the tradition of hiding secret messages in vinyl recordings. The work is a mashup of three golden-era rock songs that have variously been accused of containing subliminal messages when played backwards. The turntablist in the ensemble conceptually interferes with the bass clarinet, vibraphone and drumkit by skipping, rewinding and generally manipulating the speed and direction in which the rest of the band play their music. This recording was made while in residence at the Campbelltown Arts Centre, Australia.


Heaven Only Empty

Damien is a Sydney-based composer. Seeking a music for the body rather than the brain, his work is characterised by unusual instruments, open forms and often integrates sound with other media. Damien was the co-founder and Co-Artistic Director of the new music group, Ensemble Offspring (1995-2015), and the Program Leader of Composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (2015-2019). Major staged works have included 'The Howling Girls' (2018), an experimental opera co-created with director Adena Jacobs; and 'The Secret Noise' (2014), a hybrid music-dance project exploring music and secrecy.
