#GenreOfTheWeek

#VenaCava is a live performance album by #AvantGarde artist #DiamandaGalás. It was released in 1993

She attracted attention particularly for her voice – a soprano #Sfogato – and written accounts that describe her work as original and thought-provoking refer to her as "CAPABLE OF THE MOST UNNERVING VOCAL TERROR" 📢 listen @ 2:40 !

Here is an excerpt from the album that I think is just fantastic. It includes #AmazingGrace and #InHeavenThereIsNoBeer

Enjoy!

related musings...

an example of why algorithms really suck is how they almost always fail to make meaningful HUMAN connections between artists and songs

these are the artists that #Pandora tells me are similar to #DiamandaGalas: Marianne Faithfull, Nina Simone, Bjork, Dead Can Dance... all great artists, but none come close to what she was doing

when I want "similar" to her, I don't want "female vocalist" "unconventional" "opera singer" "blues" "gospel", "avant garde"

no, fuck those, what I want is "gut wrenching" "incantation" "ritualistic" "soul destroying" "hallucinogenic" "psychoses inducing" "sorcery" "thaumaturgy" "conjuring" "necromancy"

or, when my mood is different: "sedation" "hypnotic" "trance inducing" "contemplative" "ecstatic"

i don't give a rat's ass about genre. i get that it's a necessary evil sometimes as a shortcut. but it misses so much of what's important in artistry

the whole "if you like X, you will like Y" thing is so fucking stupid because it doesn't adress *why* i like X!

If you like Current 93, Ligeti, or just being uncomfortable, this medication may be right for you.

In an ever-changing world it is reassuring to know that Diamanda Galas will always strip the paint from your soul.

"Composed in 2020 during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the first incarnation of the work was played as a sound installation at the Kapellen Leprosarium (Leper's Sanctuary)"

FUCK YEAH IT WAS.

Today's pick from one of my albums of last year is 'I. Mutilatus' from Diamanda Galás' 'Broken Gargoyles'

https://diamandagalas.bandcamp.com/track/broken-gargoyles-i-mutilatus

Although with only 2 tracks on the album it was a case of just picking one really!

It was great to have something new from this extraordinary artist.

Wenn ich Zeit habe, stöber ich gerne in meinen Lieblingsmusiken. Eines der Alben, dass mich nachhaltig inspiriert und immer wieder erfreut hat, ist Liquid von #Recoil, #AlanWilder|s Projekt, dass er während seiner Zeit mit #DepecheMode begann und nach seinem Ausstieg fortführte. Die Songs Want und Strange Hours mit der grandiosen #DiamandaGalas berühren mich noch heute sehr. Liquid ist auf jeden Fall eines meiner TOP 10 Alben für die Ewigkeit.

Listening to #PlagueMass by #DiamandaGalas because I’m ill & tired & somehow she speaks to me more clearly in that state. #industrialmusicforindustrialpeople

I forgot how scary it is to listen to Diamanda Galas late at night, headphones on, and alone. It is absolutely TERRIFYING and I love it.

This is one of the most conventional songs of her discography. Yet i truly love the collaboration with J. P. Jones. This song always lift me up. An unique voice. An exquisite talent.
