I was expecting to see someone hacking away at black birds, what a fucking disappointment.

I saw this Live at The Art Galery of Alberta. It was Amazing. Although The Name of the Art thing I don't know why they would call it that. But the Track was amazing.

i thought this art piece was reall cool.. i felt as if i was in the dreams.. after thinking about it.. i was kinda amazed that i you loo at the way the black speakers are placed.. they resemble a flock of crows surounding the persons voice. .. i loved it

This is my favourite thing in the whole world. Seen it three times now at the AGA and seeing it again before it leaves in a couple weeks.

And I agree with MysteryGuitaristX it reminded me of Godspeed when I first saw it too!

[zombiehammer1]

where do the words come from though, are they other peoples experiences or dreams, what are the origins, anybody know?

[K4Khmer]

@zombiehammer1 They are dreams or a series of nightmares rather. I don't know if they were real or not though. The piece is influenced by Goya's work "Sleep of Reason Produces False Monsters".

I just saw this at the AGA today. Before today I had seen one piece of art that was perfect. I left having experienced my second. It was perfect. The moving, the music, the sound, the places it took me. Loved it.

This reminded me a hell of a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

I saw this at the AGA yesterday. Beautiful. Haunting.

I just seen this today at the art gallery of alberta, and the images I heard in there was sort of like walking through a Joel-Peter Witkin picture. It was horrifying yet beautiful. It gave me this terrifying freedom-in which my mind was set free and caused chaos in my dreams and I loved every second of it. And now I feel inspired to make a film about it.

i went to an abbreviated version of this today at the opening of Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton.

It was 15 minutes, something seriously cool.

As did I, what did you think of the Storm Room, Goya prints, Karsh, and Dega? It was amazing to see those charcoal drawings and the "Little Dancer" but, Goya and this installation stood out to me- such a power I have never quite experienced at the small galleries I have gone to prior. The smell of the Storm Room was fantastic.

Amazing work. I went to the Hamburger Banhoff last Thursday, and listened to The Murder of Crows three times. Only three, because I had to go back ;_; Beautiful, breathtaking piece.

Lo ví en Berlín la semana pasada y me pareció estupendo, un trabajo muy bien hecho y que me conmovió muchísimo. Realmente te atrapaba y te conducía por estados muy diferentes.

[jakobein]

one hearing inspired several. this work was and remains transformational...

Damn I went to the Biennale of Sydney 2008 and I was there sitting down surrounded by 100 speakers It was madness, I love this artwork and Janet Cardiff!!

Creates visual images that are disturbing and thought provoking. It was be startling to experience in the live setting.
