about

When I took the Goralenvolk alias, I didn't mean any transgressive force of a simple reference to fascism. For my community I live in, Goralenvolk is above all a reason for shame and fear. Shame because it violates the intricately built mythology of a proud highlander nation where the best national features are concentrated in. Fear, because according to premodern atavism, the words are not only meanings, but also that they are real and reality can bring us down, bring us shame that pride cannot cope with.

In 1977, in order to study what is beyond the borders of the Solar System, an unmanned Voyager 1 probe was sent into space. A copper gramophone record called "Voyager Golden Record" was attached to the probe. The record contained information about Earth and humanity and it was dedicated to any extraterrestrial civilization that could intercep the probe. The album featured a gospel-blues song called "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" performed by an artist and preacher Blind Willie Johnson, who doesn't sing words, but murmurs, hums and wails with his guitar.

In my EP I don't refer to the source song in any way.
