W. TRANSMISSION 4

Zoharum is excited to present for the first time on CD “WORLD TRANSMISSION” – a series of rare transmissions, reduced and performed by COLUMN ONE in chronological order to document some of its phases. This work is no recording. It exists as a stepping cone while it’s essential creators were at work.

W.T.4 RE-WORKED TRANSMISSION
W.T.4 is the revised document of a COLUMN ONE event on April 3rd 1998 at Eimer in Berlin.
It was the concept of this night to produce vibrations of “Ritual” materials of various origins in a new connection and in a new location. Besides acoustic instruments & sounds from our direct environ, used materials also included recordings of various natives.
The Memories of this April 3rd are vague. Vibrations in a vault, in the centre of Berlin. All COLUMN ONE members in white robes… under an Alien-Like God… in catacombs scenery…
