Russian experimental musician and performance artist Dagmar Gertot is about to release her first studio album entitled Os Lacrimale on 27th November via Cyclic Law. A somber surreal dark ambient/experimental/folk opus sourced from the composer’s dream state experiences. Instrumental and vocal improvisations are the tools used for turning the dream world of the subconscious to the outer world, deploying ambiguous visual and aural imagery.
Partially ceremonial and “art brutal” in character, it is a free expression of the psyche’s sometime painful secret world. Turning to text as a compositional tool, the author choose a glossolalia with partial inclusion of semantically active roots, thus leaving open the subsequent spread of various meanings in the form of a ritual surreal short novella, that accompanies some tracks and supports the semantic identity of this work. Musical instruments used are: accordion, string-bowed ikili, lyre, gusli, batalo, piano, horns, extra percussion and voice. Check out in the YouTube player below a short teaser and in the Bandcamp player you can hear the first revealed song named "Iron Cradle". Link
