Necropolis 3: Planet of the Gapes
Kamikaze Jones
Necropolis 3: Planet of the Gapes started as a very fortuitous accident, and is comprised entirely of acoustic instruments played with the B-vibe; a vibrating anal plug. The plug proved to create a series of hypnotic and rhythmically singular drones on whatever instrument I applied it to, including found percussion, mandolin, and the detuned piano at my local lgbtq+ bar. Planet of the Gapes, to me, sounds like an extraterrestrial queer mining planet, full of subterranean depths, haunted caverns, and arcane masturbatory rituals. It is a sacred and insular expression of erotic interiority, and a ceremonial queering of traditional modes of instrumentation.
