Parable of the Prize of Heaven

Parable of the Prize of Heaven (2023-4) follows a three-part trajectory of a set of  biomythographic narratives derived from my upbringing in the Poland’s catholic culture. Field  recordings of church spaces, organs, reverberating footsteps and glass, are merged with  vibrating transducers on cymbals, friends reading quotes from Octavia Butler and Søren  Kierkegaard, and circuit-bent Casios to create a non-linear sonic journey through locations,  people, relationships and existential ideology. The piece is both a reflection and a question asked about the nature of the organisation of life through religion. 

Dedicated to my Dad, Aleksander Jankowski (1947-2023), who did repeatedly ask if Peter was going to admit him to heaven.
