Requiem

by Michel Chion

Requiem cover art

Produced under the auspices of the INA-GRM, Chion's 'Requiem' violently deconstructs the traditional Catholic mass of the dead using extreme tape manipulation. The dense acousmatic collage of distorted spoken word, harsh electronics, and field recordings creates a profoundly unsettling sonic environment.
