Wojnarowicz, David -& Ben Neill-
Itsofomo (2lp)
Recorded in 1991, 'ITSOFOMO' was originally presented as a live performance in 1989. The piece binds the haunting urgency of Wojnarowicz's words to a sinister, elastic composition by Neill. Their gestures circle and intertwine with a telepathic energy, revealing the deep affinity shared by these two artists. Joined by percussionist Don Yallech, the group moves with the agility and purpose of a rock band while maintaining the rigor and empathy of a conceptual force. 'ITSOFOMO' (which stands for 'In The Shadow Of Forward Motion') escalates from barely-whispered monologues and unnerving textures to a rallying, full-throated charge. This edition is limited to 500 DOUBLE-LP's, packaged in a gatefold sleeve and including bonus tracks.
