Enter The Wolf, Death and the Acorn site here




This is my ever evolving musical outfit, which is an umbrella for my songs and experimental ritualistic live performances. It ranges from folk songs on the bouzouki and harp to harp noise performances to the recent full live band performances driven by percussion. In my songs I also explore the themes and concepts prominent in my other works, as with the ritual elements. With the rituals I also seek to disrupt the divide between the spectator and the spectacle, luring the audience into the present moment.
With the name ‘Wolf Death Acorn’ I took the notion of Life/Death/Life, and endowed the Life elements with an animal and plant title, Wolf being a powerful animal archetype and Acorn holding the potential to become the Mighty Oak. This is a reference to a cyclical conception of time, as this notion offers room for the idea of renewal that a linear conception of time cannot. With the name ‘Wolf Death Acorn’ I tried to express this concept in a nut shell, and it proved the most fitting name for this constantly renewing and evolving project.
