about

Aural Films welcomes a new release by artist Scott Lawlor who has composed a long form piece inspired by the New Testament verses Matthew chapter 12: 43 through 45. The main theme of the piece was originally composed in 1991, but reworked in 2012 to include expansive organ sections inspired by a piece by John Zorn called the hermetic organ.

Matthew chapter 12 verses43 through 45:

43 - "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, but he finds none.

44 - Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

45 - Then he goes and brings with him seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation."
