 "Cross of the Good Death" was released in 1983 as a documentation of  
AMVK's exhibition "Hoeren en Profeten" at De Nieuwe Workshop in  
Brussels, and a performance by DDV at the Campo Santo cemetery in Gent.

 The exhibition "Hoeren en Profeten" (Whores and Prophets) opened on 24  
feb 1983. There were five series of works by AMVK:

 1.Hoeren (Tafels.Kruis)
 2.2Gevechten (Transport)
 3.3Profeten (Graf)
 4.4Honden (Flexor.Relax)
 5.Lichamen (Dwaal!).

 In the large back building, amongst large piles of rubbles various  
works on show: paintings on perspex and mousse, drawings, blue-prints,  
mixed-media and drawings on the walls. On the opening night Club Moral  
performed live. AMVK stood on a large wooden "Carruga" by DDV, reading  
the text of "Goede Dood" by Pieter Cornelis Boutens. At the same time  
DDV hacked away the legs of a giant table with an axe, the sound of the  
hacking amplified by contact microphones.

Goede Dood wiens zuiver pijpen
 Door 't verstilde leven boort,
 Die tot glimlach van begrijpen
 Alle jong en schoon bekoort,

 Voor wien kinderen en wijzen
 Lachend laten boek en spel,
 Voor wien maar verkleumde grijzen
 Huivren in hun kille cel, -

 Mij is elke dag verloren,
 Die uw lokstem niet verneemt;
 Want dit land van most en koren
 Is mij immer schoon en vreemd;

 Want nooit beurde ik hier te drinken
 't Water dat de ziel verjongt,
 Of van dichtbij hief te klinken
 't Verre wijsje dat gij zongt:

 Alle schoon dat de aard kan geven,
 Blijkt een pad dat tot u voert,
 En alleen is leven leven
 Als het tot den dood ontroert.

 Tracks 1, 2 & 3 include music from Arnold Schönberg, sounds from the  
movies "Never on Wednesdays" and "Eraserhead" and additional  
electronics.

 Track 4 was recorded live on 17 sep 1983 on the occasion of an  
exhibition of Antwerp artists in Gent. "On the Campo Santo cemetary I  
digged a grave, when I lay in it it was closed. While the public was  
transported with buses to another location, I moved the grave to the  
Gele Zaal. There I was pulled out from it by my feet and movies and  
slides about Oppenheimer were projected onto my body, in a microphone I  
repeated: "Now I am death, the destroyer of worlds". The sound of my  
voice was electronically distorted into an unearthly grinding and  
thundering by Paul Hurst."
 (from DDV's Performan Catalogue)

 For the "Carruga" DDV built for the performance at De Nieuwe Workshop,  
he used a number of large beams from the floor of the building which  
was to be torn down. Afterwards it resided at the Club Moral in  
Antwerpen for a couple of years until it was refurbished and included  
in the 1985 Open Air exhibition "AutomoBiënnale" at the Middelheim  
Museum in Antwerpen. A huge metal cage was built on top and a running  
diesel engine was locked inside.
(a documentary movie about "Carruga" is available on YouTube)

"Goede Dood" is also a track on the first Club Moral Lp "To All Who Are  
Interested", released by Cthulhu Records in 1989.

 After all the building at De Nieuwe Workshop wasn't torn down at all,  
it now houses a cultural centre "De Markten" and apparently they put in  
a new floor....
