Cameron-Wolfe's HERETIC at the "Days of New Music" Festival - December 18, 2012, in Kharkov, Ukraine

Sergey GorkushaSergey GorkushaYoung virtuoso guitarist Sergey Gorkusha performed Richard Cameron-Wolfe's forbiddingly difficult "Heretic" during the festival, which took place in the Chamber Hall of the Kharkov National University of the Arts - displaying formidable technical command of his instrument while singing, speaking, rapping, manically moving around the hall, and confronting the audience. One observer remarked that Gorkusha's performance was a powerful example of Antonin Artaud's "Theatre of Cruelty". Cameron-Wolfe plans to bring the artist to New York in 2013, to perform and record the "Heretic".
