Interview - @mortiisofficial about the influence death has on his work:
"In the early days I was very fascinated with the idea of parallel realities. To the degree that I started writing about one, that would be “my world”, where I was the sort of ultimate creator, and all-powerful. My interest eventually became a bit more metaphysical, and my writings became based around travels of the soul, or something similar to that. I developed the idea that my world could only be reached through dying. This “portal” did not exist for the living. The concept of death was useful and interesting to me in that sense, but beyond that, I didn’t think about death a whole lot.

Having said that, I made an album with my side project VOND, called “Selvmord” which translates to “Suicide”. That record took on the topic of death, at least lyrically. I was probably influenced by movies like “Der Todesking” by Jurg Butgereit at the time. It’s a cool, violent and weird black and white film by the guy that made the “Nekromantik” movies which were pretty infamous at the time."

Tomorrow the semi-lockdown in Amsterdam will be officially over. I have visited six different cemeteries in my area during these past ten weeks.

Cemeteries are wonderful places to visit, especially during times of social distancing. Have you visited any in your area lately?

One of my favorite graves at Hollywood Forever Cem

One of my favorite graves at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in LA is that of Edward Lee Bredekamp. Edward was only 37 when he died. He had a big passion for music and was a talented guiter player, in fact he is actually buried together with one of his guitars.

Still from my first youtube video - What is Death

Still from my first youtube video - What is Death Awareness? "We are all going to die one day. Since the very beginning of human existence, people have been confronted with death. In this video I explain about the history of 'memento mori', the origins of the death awareness movement."

"Our language and limited perception lead us to looking at “life” & “death” as polarities, when they may not be at all - it just looks that way through human eyes."

Mortsafe at Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. Thes

Mortsafe at Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. These heavy iron constructions were invented in 1816 and were meant to protect the dead from bodysnatchers. The contraption would be placed around the coffin and sealed with an iron plate and padlocks, for the duration of six weeks, until the body had sufficiently decomposed. Families could rent a mortsafe to be put around their loved ones grave, to safe them from damnation - as during the 1820's, bodysnatchers were digging up fresh corpses to sell to doctors and medical schools so they could be used in anatomy lessons.
In 1832 the Anatomy Act made it legal for anatomist to obtain unclaimed corpses and bodysnatching became a less popular sidejob for medical students.
