    Marshalling insights from religious symbolism, cinematic essentialism, and Russian literature, Seven Swords represents a material extension of the content, aesthetic and philosophy underlying Shari DeLorian’s eponymous album (Realia005). It invokes a variety of sources—video stills, photographic material, and poetry—to create a visual poetics where images and text realise the complementary potentials of music.

lyrics

My sight, which was my power, now blurs
Two invisible diamond spears;
My hearing subsides, full of ancient thunder
And the breathing of the house of my father.
The knots of tough muscles slacken
Like grey oxen, lax in the ploughed field;
The wings behind my shoulders yield
No light when evening darkens.

I am a candle. I burned at the feast.
Gather my wax when morning arrives
So that this page will prompt you
How to be proud, and how to weep,
How to give away the last third
Of happiness, and to die with ease—
And beneath a temporary roof
To burn posthumously, like a word.
