András Cséfalvay — Funeral the Musical and another tabletop opera
LOM07 · cassette, digital on Bandcamp · released 11 November 2013 · 11 tracks, 18:16
András Cséfalvay is mostly known for his works in visual and conceptual art, but recently he started to show promise as a musician. Well, more then promise–we were truly hit in the [heart], when we received his newest work. Opera called "Funeral the Musical" is a set of intimate bedroom recordings telling us stories about worms, love and graveyards. Delicate, yet powerful voice, covered with harpsichordy-icing and synthesizery-cherries navigates us through the story with bravery and embarassing honesty at the same time.
"Funeral the Musical" is released on cassette and as a digital release. Cassetes contains one extra opera called "Granddialogue between Sauron and Saruman" and a cutout template with characters from the operas for further re-enacting of the stories.
