Requia

by John Fahey

Requia cover art

Fahey dedicates a significant portion of this album to a multi-part sound collage that splices his acoustic fingerpicking with audio of Nazi rallies, scratchy blues 78s, and white noise. The juxtaposition creates a disjointed, eerie listening experience that fractures the traditional folk format.
