The raw intensities - and intimacies - of khoi’npsalms as decolonial aestheSis are brought to the fore in nege fragmente uit ses khoi'npsalms, an improvised music exploration that merges hauntological sounds of re-imagined Khoi music with 16th century Genevan psalm melodies and texts to engage with a fraught history through lament, protest and transcendent artistic co-creation. These loaded improvisations take place in the resonant acoustics of four different churches.
Marietjie Pauw plays flute, Garth Erasmus plays Khoi-memory on bow and blik’nsnaar, and Francois Blom plays organ. Texts by Garth Erasmus | Concept by Marietjie Pauw | shot, edited and directed by Aryan Kaganof | 2018 | 20min 59sec. | HDV | Afrikaans | stereo | black & white | South Africa |
