For those experiencing the desperation of drought, this piece captures that feeling in a raw, primal way.

(Warning: Extreme dynamic range; possibly shocking vocal production.)

You ever listen to Diamanda Galas?

@voltronic

This is deeply challenging to listen to, but brilliant. It was recorded in October 1990 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It's a visceral response to the Catholic church's and society's indifference to the AIDS pandemic.

Whoa. Never heard of her or this piece. It's pretty extreme, but I guess it should be. I'm going to have to take some time when I'm in the right head space to listen to this.

I have been to St John the Divine for a bunch of concerts, and it's a truly special place.
