Thursday 2 February 2012<\/div>\n

A derelict mansion in Bishopscourt is a really unique venue for an album launch – and, as it turns out, it was also a really fitting backdrop for the atmospheric electronica of Markus Wormstorm and his mini orchestra.<\/p>\n

\"Abandoned<\/a>\u00a0 \"Markus<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The story I heard about the R23 million building, was that it had been bought some years ago and was in the process of being developed when there was some financial issue that froze the whole project, and apparently it’s tied up in legal problems at the moment…I’m not sure how they went about acquiring it for the night but it was a really inspired idea.<\/p>\n

\"Abandoned<\/a><\/p>\n

Totally unfurnished (apart from the modest upstairs accommodation of, I assume, the groundsman) and unfinished, the building was huge and open for exploration.\u00a0 Downstairs, there was a mini exhibition of artwork by Not I, but a friend <\/em>cover-artist Elise Wessels and next door, the music video for Eve’s Twin<\/em><\/a> was projected onto a wall.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
