"Klangkapsel / Sound Capsule 023 is a dark and melancholic song named Die Asche von Maria Callas / The Ashes of Maria Callas. The ashes of the famous soprano singer and actress were solemnly handed over to the Aegean Sea on 3rd June 1979 from a torpedo boat. The urn was draped with a Greek flag. It was her last will before her death on 16th September 1977 to be ´lost in the sea`. Her ashes had been before on the cemetery Père Lachaise on Paris. But there are rumours that they had been stolen - like the ashes of Yukio Mishima in Japan - so maybe the ashes inside the urn were not hers. Thus the tragedy and trauma of her life might not even have found an end with her death. There are also rumours that these very personal lyrics in Upper Austrian dialect by Gerhard Hallstatt deal only on the very surface with Maria Callas: The deeper meaning might be something different, another tragedy, another trauma. A version of this song will appear on the Allerseelen CD Toteninsel. Efcharisto. Kalo ipno. Kalinichta." (Gerhard Hallstatt 28.02.2023)
