In advance of Halloween: “Black Host” for organ, percussion and tape by William Bolcom from New Music for Organ, 1967, on the Nonesuch label. The title of the Bolcom work takes its cue from the black mass envisioned by St. Secaire who is supposed to have said black mass in the crypt of his church in order to purify that institution of its own sin. Followed by both sides of a white vinyl LP by Dieter Muh and Lon Milo DuQuette: “‘The Call’ is a shuttle that weaves high magick and high art – an incantation of transcendent sound and angelic language chanted to the guardians of the Aythers so they might awaken and one by one peel away the thirty membranes of consciousness that, like ecrements of the tomb, separate us from the pure consciousness of the divine.”
