LEIF ELGGREN / JOHN DUNCAN : SOMETHING LIKE SEEING IN THE DARK


Leif Elggren &

Claude Mellan


The Sudarium of St Veronica


The basic sound source for this CD is the copper engraving "The Sudarium of St Veronica", cut by the French artist Claude Mellan (1598 - 1688) in Paris 1649. A portrait of Christ engraved through a continous spiral line that starts at the tip of the nose. An old heliogravure (a 19th Century reproduction of one of the original prints) was used to make a photo etching in copper to get a replica as close as possible to the original plate. This plate was played back with a specially constructed record player and recorded at Firework Edition, Stockholm, July 17, 2007.
