electroacoustic suite in nine acts.
music: jan liljekvist
lyrics: hjalmar gullberg
voice: james ngugi
percussion: sebastian åberg
contains fragments from slutförbannelser by rolf enström.
god in disguise is an attempt at writing a longer piece, consisting of short movements but held together by a unit of lyrics. i've chosen god in disguise by hjalmar gullberg as a foundation for my music because this is a work that i like very much. in order to get away from the grande swedish sound the lyrics often take on in the mouth of a trained actor, i let my good friend james (originally from kenya) read them. flesh converters ii - the revenge!
