AGUIRRE by Séraphitüs-Séraphîta
This piece is created out of the final speech of Werner Herzog’s “Aguirre, The Wrath of God”, as Aguirre is surrounded by monkeys and dead bodies (which include his own daughter). Through an experimental, slowed + reverb approach, I wanted to capture the madness, disorientation, and despair that I felt while watching this film.
English translation of the dialogue included in this track:
“When we reach the sea, we will build a bigger ship, and sail north to take Trinidad from the Spanish crown. From there we’ll sail on and take Mexico from Cortes. What great treachery that will be! Then all of New Spain will be ours, and we’ll stage history as others stage plays. I, the Wrath of God, will marry my own daughter and with her I will found the purest dynasty the world has ever seen. Together, we shall rule this entire continent. We shall endure. I am the Wrath of God! Who else is with me?”
