An excerpt from the Album of a Pessimist by the suicidal writer Alphonse Rabbe, whose exaltation and licentiousness were made for Nurse With Wound, who musically accompanies the text.
Alphonse Rabbe (1784-1829) was a French journalist, historian, biographer, romantic writer and poet.
A British music project formed in 1978 by
Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heman Pathak,
Nurse With Wound (now Stapleton's variable geometry project) is an essential figure of English
experimental and
industrial music since the early 80's. With more than 150 releases, alone or with other musicians, Stapleton has swept widely different musical styles, from industrial music to mambo, through electronics, improvisation, electroacoustics, with a lot of humor.
