about

The Messiaen is flying on heavy shots of thick strings. Stuck in the deliriously high ceiling of the gothic church. Escapes and narrowly passes the gray spirits and flies into the woods. The season is uncertain. Freedom is burdened with blurry fear.

A dance on wet ground. Light foot, heavy mud. Swings and voices, fire and screams choked. A gathering in the woods, a gathering in the church. Get the bodies in one place, all the muscles and fluids. All Mass.

The Melting Diamond Band is the latest live operation of Icelandic musician Benni Hemm Hemm. Somehow mr. Hemm Hemm has found every drug addict ghost gang member on the streets of Reykjavík who has a musical talent and he´s gathered them for this wonderful mess. These really are dangerous people, so stay away.
