PERSONA NON GRATA (3) (TIM BERRESHEIM & JONATHAN MEESE) - Persona Grata

\r\nTim Berresheim and Jonathan Meese are German contemporary artists well-established within the international art scene. In 2002, Berresheim founded the New Amerika label as an outlet through which to release collaborative recordings (often between he and Meese), along with solo recordings.\r\n

\r\n(2005 release, as Persona Non Grata) "Persona Grata" is another, new moniker of artists/musicians Tim Berresheim (Cologne) and Jonathan Meese (Berlin), introduced on their first CD-EP on Berresheims New Amerika imprint. These recordings mark a new step in their collaborative efforts, for the first time they are completely improvised. Meeses satanic version of Gospel singing is brilliantly supported by the tribal dark Wall of Voodoo produced by Berresheim. Imagine a four-track version of Grateful Dead doing the soundtrack for a Kenneth Anger movie, for example." - A-Musik.
