about
In Paradisum No.1 is taken from a series of installation pieces originally created in 2008 on the subject of infant mortality. "I remember as a child hearing all this 'why you must be baptised' malarkey and feeling appalled at the callousness with which unbaptised babies were regarded. The older I get, the more baffled and outraged I become by this bizarre theological dogma."
The version presented here is arranged for three guitars and one bass guitar. The sounds are produced by mini-fans exciting the strings without the involvement of a performer.
