In 2007 the internationally known artist couple Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke decided to create an audio/visual interpretation of the novel "The Ship Of Fools" by Sebastian Brant. Although this book was written in 1495, it has remained contemporary up till today with its satirical depiction of the human condition.
Curious to hear what other artists would come up with for such a show, Danielle and Alexander then invited international colleagues, specialized in unusual instruments or dance, to participate. The fascinating journey through time and space, which is documented here, is a wonderful collage of mesmerizing concerts, humorous stories on why the musicians decided to play specific instruments and vivid interviews with performers on how they think mankind has developed over the last 500 years.
This documentary is a must have for all that love adventure in music and unexpected endings.

A big, epic, monstrous beast of an album in which everything that was promised by the previous two records comes to fruition. The final track is an almost ambient palate cleanser. Listeners who have only heard her debut album will be so phenomenally unprepared for what they're about to hear. Ed Martin

During a long period of time, I couldnt listen to anything else thanThrobbing Gristle, PTV then a long Coil period. Swans managed to move from one obsession to another... And I discovered Anna von Hausswolff (I know, she played with the Swans, I wasn't too far from home!)
Nevertheless, I rarely am that mesmerised by a song, its beauty, its strength, its dark corners.
The strength of both versions was enough to burn its mark in my heart and soul. uberwenig
