They were added to them. “Red Yellow” and “The Merge”.
But let’s be the tour itself who comments this new play: “In all cases, this material began with me sitting in my office with an acoustic guitar, singing and dreaming of what would be of these skeletal songs. I am lucky to have a stellar group of musicians with which to work live, and through improvisation, endless revisions and the intensity of the concentration in the interpretation (not to speak of the resistance) Pass time music was transformed into what is generally heard in this collection. ‘Live Rope’constitutes my last incursion (as a producer/entrepreneur) in the sound worlds that consume everything and that have been my obsession for years. We will make one last tour in this modality towards the end of 2025, and then that’s it. After that, Swans will continue, while I can, but in a much smaller way. You can find indications of that address at some moments of the current album. Meanwhile, my hope is that music provides a positive and fertile atmosphere in which to dream. “

The first editions in triple vinyl and CD will include an extra DVD with “Swans Live 2024 (Rope) The Beggar”a live concert film directed by Marco Porsia of the last Swans tour in the United States, and in addition to the documentary of Christopher Nicholson of the solo tour of Michael turns in 2022 entitled “I Wonder If I’M Singing What You’re Thinking Me To Sing”.
