Four cds of intense, grinding drones. Beautiful, but intense and cacophonous. "Like a musical bloodletting" says Andee. Hermann Nitsch is perhaps the most renowned artist spawned from the Austrian Wiener Aktionismus movement producing some of the most brutal and violent art and performance ever. Nitsch always accompanied his Orgien-Mysterien-Theatre performances with walls off orchestral drones--and here they are. Beautiful packaging with performance photos and liner notes by Günter Brus.
