bodies of divine infinite and eternal spirit – disaster 1

a statement from bodies of divine infinite and eternal spirit:

here is our largest production to date. our largest group of musicians. our longest song. our biggest disaster yet. recorded sweating in one take with the group on a 40 degree day in Elvis’ studio and then later that month joined by the choir at bell city takeaway and they followed suit, learning the song the day they sang it. the first time they speak it is here, as this disaster specifically. then we sat with the song and mixed it live in one take too. it’s both the purest specimen and metaphor for the whole bodies project. it’s immediate and uncompromised. it’s interested in what music can activate as a social-spiritual engagement more than it is on producing a record that sounds a particular way. new things were tested and now arrive stamped. this approach keeps the body in a state of listening, of caution, of potential disaster. and so the beauty of disaster is that it brings new perspective on beauty altogether. the awkwardness has a chance to become poetic. the fluctuating confidence takes the role of an instrument one wields so that the exhaustion of playing for 46 minutes transforms into the style itself. come shameful as you are says the song.
