Stephan Mathieu
The Key To The Kingdom
Dekorder #028
10”
£10.99
Limited numbered edition of only 400 copies, packaged in a nice vintage 78rpm style 10” sleeve. The Key To The Kingdom is German sound artist Stephan Mathieu’s tribute to raw gospel performer Washington Phillips, with two instrumentals performed on a historic Phonoharp No.2 zither from the 1890s using five E-bows. Phillips’ music always had a hallucinatory aspect to it and here Mathieu amplifies his angelic bell sound using various smears and treatments, joining the dots between ethereal drone music and sanctified folk forms.
