On November 17th, 2013, Cotton Ferox played at the Trans-Wizje 4 festival at Laboratorium in Warsaw. It was by far the best concert we’ve ever done (or, “so far”). We were augmented and enhanced by our local friend Dr Zaraza on guitar and it became a swell and swelling cosmic experience for us all. This was also the moment when the “Mega Golem” was set free, after several years of “astral” construction. So, in that sense, the performance was as much ritual as “concert”. This documentation was produced by the Trans-Wizje crew, so major mega-thanks go out to them, also for the event itself.
Cotton Ferox in Stockholm coming up
The Mega Golem is online!
Cotton Ferox’ piece of music “A Mega Golem Official” was originally commissioned for Vicki Bennett’s “Radio Boredcast” festival in 2011. In 2013, it was released as a digital album by Highbrow Lowlife. During that autumn, I also made a film for it that was first screened at Cotton Ferox’ performance at the Trans-Wizje festival in Warsaw on November 17th, 2013. And now they have merged into one audiovisual Mega Golem aspect! Enjoy!
Karkowski caught on film!
On a chilly spring day in 1990, I made a film together with Zbigniew Karkowski in Gothenburg, where he was living at the time. I could only afford one roll of 16 mm film so that’s what I used. Four minutes of fun! I had completely forgotten this film until Zbigniew died late last year. Then it dawned upon me that somewhere in my dusty archive was a silent time capsule. Eventually I found it, had it transferred and then added some of his music. Again, I’m very happy to be a documaniac. Time flies and some people fly away too soon. The documentation lasts slightly longer.
