Cantata Profana2010

Name: Cantata Profana
Released: 2010
Duration: 7 min

Cantata Profana is a six-screen video and sound installation focusing on the physicality of extreme metal vocalists and the ability of their voices to immerse a listener and transcend both the individual performer and group. It takes the form of an amphitheatre of video projections presenting a new musical composition, created in partnership with British composer Orlando Gough, artist and musician Tim Kerr and six grindcore vocalists. It interweaves extreme metal music culture with classical choral traditions; the intense sounds and body movements of the vocalists, together with the backdrop of the out-dated German Democratic Republic radio studio in which the piece was ﬁlmed, all contribute to the atmosphere of this unique and enveloping work.
