“Purgatory Song” is based on a voice improvisation, which I recorded years ago for a collaboration with South African musician and visual artist Garth Erasmus, but never used. Later I added some sounds of a prepared piano, as an ironically broken allusion to the romantic “Kunstlied”. Much later I processed these elements together with electronic sounds to create the Purgatory Song.

Purgatory Song

Piece for organ and fixed media electronics. The first performance was given by Vladimir Magalashvili in his concert 'Organ . Light . Percussion . Electronics' on 26 May, 2024 at the Kirche Zum Guten Hirten, Berlin-Friedenau. 

A majestically broad cycle of chordal 'mantras' propels the main body of the music, with visceral synth tones weaving in and out of the organ texture.

Broken Mind

MMMMM...O
there hung an Iroquois sign
by the neon tubes above the Hang Moon Bar
music on the warm night air...bare thighs stickin to the hood of my beat up car
keepin to ice water...pullin tangles from my hair...catchin up on Old Town gossip
same old stuff, I swear
yea...and this hood still holds the heat
of too much highway...
the fever of the lines has lost its grip, and
sittin here - by the swingin pine
of the Iroquois sign
misfirin' neon gas
murmurin out the evenin
...at the Hang Moon Bar
and here I go...on
thighs stickin to the hood of my ole beat up car
yea...get on for a cruise
up to the drive in lot
tumbleweeds in congress with the old spent shells of my buckshot
roll me out tobacco for the ones who wander on
ghosts on the highway...
past the bar...with the Iroquois sign
