Naretha Williams - Grand Organ, Moog, Prophet, Programming, Electronics

OBI text:

Naretha Williams presents the second work in her DNA-derived CRYPTEX series, combining the gargantuan Melbourne Town Hall Grand pipe Organ with live analogue electronics to create a truly unique horror soundtrack. Blak Mass considers the Grand Organ as a significant symbol of European domination and reaches deep int to the psyche of the instrument to create a haunting avant-garde sound work.

Under the control of Williams, the Town Hall's Grand Organ became something else, electric and unruly as the deep melodic sounds of the old instrument intersected with her vivid set. Her music was an act of cleansing, taming the instruments that attempted to obliterate blak culture. Her presence and dynamic sound demonstrated survival in an era of renewed blak confidence. Timmah Ball - ABC Arts

The music on this album was commissioned by the City of Melbourne
