The title translates as 'Ceremony (with a burning cargo ship)' and comes with a text that
somehow eludes me (I was thinking of some of The Hafler Trio's texts). The Dead
Mauriacs use the form of sound collage, layering various elements, piano, humming
voices, and percussion into small and gentle constructions of sound. It has a great
modern music feeling and a radio drama/performance. Like a ceremonial, but without
having an idea what this ceremony is about. Each side is distinctly broken up into
shorter segments, and one doesn't have the idea of excerpts from longer pieces, but all
the same, I can imagine longer versions with more segments possible. The second side
has a slightly more improvised feeling than the first side, but both sides also deal with
the idea of cutting sounds, re-combining and creating new contexts. At one point, I
scribbled down Nurse With Wound, with whom I could see a musical relation. An
excellent record as well.
