Hallelujah (27 Years)

from Uninvited Savior by Brenner & Molenaar

/

about

“Hallelujah (27 Years)” began as a recording of Pope John Paul II reading the Rosary played through my Library of Congress tape deck. These machines are designed to play recorded written materials for the blind on tapes recorded at double speed, so when I played the rosary tape it was slowed to a crawl. I ran this through a variety of pedals and effects and came up with a dark audio collage onto which Dave recorded even more instrumentation and we had our album’s largest piece already in place. I still felt it was missing something, so I added in an extra sample of an exorcism by the revivalist A.A. Allen, which gave the piece a vital narrative arc.
