Altered Zones

You probably know Mater Suspiria Vision by now as the mysterious European entity with an unhealthy obsession with long-haired beautifies from the '70s-- manifest in some 63 "non profit promo video collages" of found footage from horror, exploitation, and art-house classics. Last Fall saw creative mastermind "Cosmotropia de Xam" remixing the soundtrack from Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) over images from the film itself; "Das Haus der Hexe," a track from their new Inverted Triangle I LP, sounds like a Goblin cover coughed up from the smoky mouth of a fleabag discotheque by that same name. This music isn't just about witches; it's about going to the theater, and being bewitched. --Emilie Friedlander, Visitation Rites

Inverted Triangle I is out now on Clan Destine/Phantasma Disques
