Deathrock has been associated with spoken word and other artforms from
the beginning. I think first of Rozz Williams and his experimental
projects Heltir and the releases under his own name. Of course, spoken
word pieces and passages have made their way into many deathrock
albums.
As part of writing lyrics for an album, I ten to amass a ton of
material that later is cut up and molded for the songs, but often,
there'll be a novella, a play or other longer forms of writing that
develop from this process.
Here's something brought to life by two narrators and a cello.
Let me direct your attention to alterati.com, and the spoken word
madness produced with agent139 at the controls. We get an exerpt of
James' forthcoming novel, Fallen Nation, and then a descent into a
dream we may be living right now.
Some of you may recognize parts, but this creation has grown into a
strange monster. Voices are provided by yours truly and the
prodigiously talented Inannamaiya .
The G-Spot Episode #4
This unique episode takes you through a number of open-ended tales,
told by the voices of a schizophrenic internal monologue. It can be
taken as the voices in the mind of a sleeper, on the brink of sleep,
or a mental patient, strapped into a bed in a moldy room in an asylum.
Maybe these events happened, or have yet to happen. That's for you to
decide.
In addition to your loving host, this show features the voice acting
talents of P. Emerson Williams and Anna Young, and the music includes
much atmospheric material from Veil of Thorns and Ariana van Gelder.
Strap yourself in, put on the headphones, and enjoy the show.
