Krzysztof Penderecki – Kosmogonia Label: Cold Spring – CSR238CD Format: CD, Album, Reissue Country: UK Released: 28 Jul 2017 Style: Modern
Unnerving, intense, bloodcurdling, sinister, dramatic – the music of “Kosmogonia” features Penderecki’s famous, unorthodox instrumental techniques, and some of the darkest music ever composed.
Hailed by The Guardian as “Poland’s greatest living composer”, Krzysztof Penderecki is the maestro behind the unforgettable, disturbing music on The Shining (including ‘De Natura Sonoris No. 2’, featured here). A complex tapestry of sound with striking use of pizzicato and flexatone, with aggressive barrages from brass and percussion, dissonant woodwind chords, spoken and hissing sounds, fervent strings, swirling organ, climactic choral and solo vocals.
Krzysztof Penderecki’s unique music has featured in films such as: The Shining, The Exorcist, Children Of Men, The People Under The Stairs, Shutter Island, and many more.
Thanks to the estate of Krzysztof Penderecki, Cold Spring are honoured to present this masterpiece in digital format for the first time since the 1974 vinyl release. Sympathetically remastered for CD by Denis Blackham and Martin Bowes.

El nuevo trabajo de Of Darkness (proyecto de dos de los componentes de Graveyard) prosigue su proceso de búsqueda constante, esta vez haciendo visible la negación del arte a través de la conjunción de formas diversas de expresión musical. Empleando para ello como contraste el magnífico Evangelio según San Lucas de Krzysztof Penderecki y las formas canónicas del lenguaje musical, esta nueva obra se adentra en el misterio fundamental de la muerte y resurrección de Jesús y subvierte los valores estéticos y expresivos de la tradición. Por otra parte, el crisol alquímico que es Of Darkness también sirve esta vez para destilar la esencia del Adventus Gnosticos Scorpiace, la obra de Tertuliano contra los cantos de sirena del gnosticismo
Scorpiace was written and recorded by Bastard and Julkarn at the Moontower Studios in march 2011.
Passio et mors Domini nostri Jesu Christi secundum Lucam was arranged, performed and recorded by Bastard and Julkarn at the Moontower Studios in september 2014 with original samples from Penderecki’s work.
Engineered and produced by Of Darkness. Executive production and layout by Avencio Delgado and GH Records.

The new work Of Darkness continues its constant search process, this time making visible the negation of art through the combination of various forms of musical expression. Using this as a contrast between the magnificent Gospel according to Luke by Krzysztof Penderecki and the canonical forms of musical language, this new work explores the fundamental mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus and subverts the aesthetic and expressive values of the tradition. Moreover, the alchemical crucible that is Of Darkness is also used this time to distill the essence of the Adventus Scorpiace Gnostics, the work of Tertullian against the siren calls of Gnosticism.
