Voices recorded almost hundred years ago in Greenland on wax glader cylinder · for today, hearing a lost shamanic story, a duel-song, a mounful melody· this record presents an unique collection of drumdance and songs -55 historical recordings of traditional Greenlandic music from1905 (by the british ethnologist William Thalbitzer) to 1987 and collected by the danish ethnomusicologist Michael Hauser. This is - beyond the document in itself - a way to be lost in time and space. These recordings expand our field of perception – maybe even our field of consciousness - a form of brutality, a thousand leagues from what one could expect, like a drive - not necessarily comfortable or friendly, but a drive.
Hope, happiness, mourning· humanity is right there
