The corpse was not lying beside the cello. The cello was the corpse. Every bow stroke awakened another forgotten articulation. Joints of wood. Tendons of horsehair. A ribcage resonating with memories that belonged to no human anatomy. Somewhere between chamber music and nightmare, Darryl Blood's Cello Corpse abandons melody in favour of gesture, breath, friction, hesitation. The instrument no longer performs. It remembers. Created as the soundtrack to the surreal short film of the same name, these improvised pieces possess the strange intimacy of overhearing an object think for the first time. Beautiful. Unsettling. -Sir Kuliktavikt
