As a young man, I harbored the populist idea of writing for the public. I learned that the public didn’t care. So I decided to write for myself. Since then, people have gotten interested.

WFAHM - Voyeur … including my music


The new War From A Harlots Mouth Album will be out on the 19th of October.

It includes some short pieces for Strings composed by me: Origin, Beyond Life And Death, a passage in Catacombae and Epiphany.

“Now ‘Voyeur’ shows War From A Harlots Mouth at their most mature so far and adding new dimension with the aid of classical strings played by composer John Strieder and a guest appearance from Arkadi Zaslawski (Dioramic). Let all conventions be broken!” (Seasons Of Mist)

Listen to the Album on Bandcamp!


Enjoy!

fractured 1 for Violoncello Solo by John Strieder

w/Score

The question of knowing to whom my music is intended for, should not be asked. As in scientific research, we try to solve a problem because of our interest in it; and not for its practical application.
So is the question of whether anyone needs what I’m doing, unimportant. I live here and now and I am unwittingly part of a culture, and what I produce will prevail over time or not. The importance of a work of art in a culture can only be judged after it’s done.
György Ligeti

“quiet, flickering, transcendent”

This piece consist of double natural harmonics only. Scordatura: C-String tuned down to B, G-String tuned down to F sharp. This is the last of four pieces.

I do not believe in natural laws of sound, but I believe in listening habits caused by cultural traditions that are responsible for how certain chords are valued. (Georg Friedrich Haas)
Original: “Ich glaube an kein Naturgesetze des Klanges, sondern ich glaube an durch kulturelle Traditionen bedingte Hörgewohnheiten, die dafür verantwortlich sind, wie bestimmte Zusammenklänge bewertet werden.”
