Os Lacrimale by Dagmar Gertot
The “Os Lacrimale” album is a dark surreal opus, based on the experience of dreaming, which is an important source of the composer's working material. Instrumental-vocal improvisations are the language for turning the mental state inside out, deploying ambiguous images.
Partially, the album has a ceremonial, partially “Art brutal” character, but rather is a free expression of the personal psyche’s painful aspects.
Turning to the form of text for compositions, the author chooses a glossolalia with partial inclusion of semantically active roots. Thus, there is a place for the subsequent spread of meanings in the form of a ritual surreal short novella, that accompanies some tracks and supports the semantic identity of this work.
Musical Instruments: accordion, string-bowed ikili, lyre, gusli, batalo, piano, horns, extra percussion
