Ravi Shankar
Transmigration Macabre
Shankar composed Transmigration Macabre for the British art film Viola which tells of the growth and eventual victory of a possessed man's belief that his dead wife has returned to life in the form of a cat that pursues him.
The music traces his emotional turmoil as the man, dominated by his wife during her lifetime, struggles against her baneful influence after her death.
Transmigration Macabre is an experimental, overtly psychedelic recording that combines traditional Indian classical instrumentation with tapes and electronics to great effect. The dreamlike quality of the album is extraordinary. The beauty and sensitivity of the playing out of this world.
