purge.xxx #23 - Avebury by Nkisi

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Avebury by ** Nkisi**.

Future music by NKISI, ancient music by NKISI: ‘Ndombala’ (A) is the original score for Journey to Avebury, Stanley Schtinter’s video remake of Derek Jarman’s film of the same name. ‘Centripetal Vortex’ is its own parallel ritual, made as part of the same sessions.
