Skiantos foto report

 

29 giugno 2007 Skiantos live a San Casciano (Fi) foto report:

A mio parere (e non solo mio) gli Skiantos sono l'unico gruppo rock italiano serio. Detto cosi' sembra un po' una cazzata: come puo' essere serio un gruppo che autodefinisce la propria musica "rock demenziale"? Li ascolto dal 1990 ed ancora non mi hanno stancato. Piu' volte ho assistito ai loro live e mi sono sempre divertito moltissimo; anche a San Casciano hanno fatto un bello show; la scaletta comprendeva molti classici fra cui "Freezer", "Mi piaccion le sbarbine", "Carabiniere blues", "Sesso e carnazza", "Italiano terrone che amo", "Largo all'avanguardia", "Sono un ribelle mamma"...  Devo dire che Roberto "Freak" Antoni, oltre che come cantante, non e' affatto male anche come scrittore; i suoi libri sono vetramente spassosi, ne ho letti un paio: "Stagioni del rock demenziale" e "Non c'e' gusto in italia ad essere intelligenti", entrambi pubblicati da Feltrinelli, oltre a gli interessanti articoli pubblicati nei primi anni ottanta dalla rivista culto Frigidaire (esilarante la sua intervista, completa di foto, al clan di Raul Casadei). Consigliata la lettura a tutti quelli con un senso dell'umorismo che sia degno di essere definito tale.

Intervista con Genesis P-Orridge

da http://www.hairentertainment.com/PsychicTV_ThrobbingGristle

Intervista realizzata al telefono da Peter (see you soon!)

Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV/PTV3 - Genesis P-Orridge Interview

Genesis P-Orridge was, and still is, in a band called Throbbing Gristle (Hull slang for an erection). In 1975, along with Peter Christopherson, Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti he started the Multi-Arts Performance Project COUM as well as Throbbing Gristle with the intention of "Wrecking Civilisation". With harsh and grinding electronicly generated machine sounds like an IBM-computer they gave birth to the musical genre of "Industrial" with the Albums 2nd Annual Report, D.O.A., 20 Jazz Funk Greats and Heathen Earth. In 1981 the mission of Throbbing Gristle was called terminated, the four members split in two halves, Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti turned into an electronic ambience duo as Chris & Cosey, while Peter Christopherson and Genesis P Orridge founded the tribal psychedelic outfit Psychic TV/PTV. In 1984 their filmed actions (i.e. with Derek Jarman) caused moral outrage in British where they were accused of being "pornographic" and "obscene" and finally forced to leave the country. Around the same time PTV had their biggest hit "Godstar", a song about Brian Jones, the mislead blonde guitarplayer of the Rolling Stones. Genesis P Orridge, residing in Brooklyn, refered heavily to the sixties myth of counter culture movements, with their recent Album "Hell Is Invisible/Heaven Is Her/e (Sweet Nothing/Cargo) they reveal their debt to such bands as The Incredible String Band, Love, The Doors and Captain Beefheart. Read our following interview with Genesis P Orridge from June 2007.

Gen. How are you?

I’m alright, thanks Peter (laughs).

You’re in England?

I’m in London.

For the concerts of Throbbing Gristle at the ICA?

Yeah. We did one show last Saturday at the Tate Modern Art Gallery. Which was Throbbing Gristle playing a live soundtrack to Derek Jarman movies. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday this week we do six separate and publicly available recoring sessions at the ICA. And the day after that I have an opening at the Barbican, an Art Gallery. So, it’s a lotta work, seven concerts and one art opening in ten frying days (laughs).

But much work is fine, isn’t it?


Oh, it’s okay (laughs).

People are beginning to recognise what we did 25 years ago was important. So that’s quite nice and consoling.

Yeah. And it’s also nice that you are returning to the ICA because that was the place where TG once started in 1975.

That’s right. That’s a very good point. It’s ironic too (laughs). Because in the first time, they all went crazy saying this is terrible, terrible, what’s happening, this isn’t music, it’s noise, this is decadent, it is terrible, it’s destroying British society. And now, all these years later, what is it, 30 years later, they want us back as important British culture (laughs).

You just have to stay alive long enough.

That’s exactly what Brion Gysin and William Burroughs told me. A long time ago, when I was just 20 years old.

You’ve got to have a long breath. Very long!

Yeah (laughs). If you want to do interesting or important art or work or writing or thought, yes you have to have a very long term view. Because it’s about changing the whole way of perception for a society and that’s gonna be a very long process.

But isn't it exciting to watch?


Well I think so, hmmmm, I m quite happy (laughs).

But this doesn’t mean we finished. For me, this means the whole story has just begun. It gives me a door to walk thru and try to persuade people to think even harder…

Okay. I’ve got your new record here (Psychic TV – Hell Is Invisible, Heaven Is Her/e). I really enjoyed listening to it, especially to the opening track Higher & Higher.


Thank you. I really like the keyboards on it where it sounds a bit like The Doors. It worked really well. It took several years to write that one. It went to many different variations. It began as an instrumental song in 1986 and then changed and changed and disappeared and came back. And then I wrote a poem called “Jigsaw” and I kept 3 lines of that and eventually it all suddenly worked with this band when they played it. It became my first truly anti-war song. It’s written from the view of a soldier, who is just dying in the mud, just in any time, could be any age, it could be the middleages, it could be Korea, it could be Iraq, it could be in the Somme in France, the same story over and over and over with the soldiers lying in the mud amongst their friends and I suddenly realised that this was completely meaningless and destructive, pointless way of trying to resolve anything.

Well okay. But by first hearing that song my thought was this is so deeply autobiographical.


I-I-yes, it’s that too (laughs). Everything I write is deeply autobiographical (laughs). That’s very true. Not many people notice that actually. But you’re right. Ahhm, I can’t help it, that’s how I work. I live in public, you know, and the records are very much that, they’re docuements of my process of thought, my evolution of thought. So this one I think is one of the most meticulous and exact I ll ever been able to do. And it’s the band as well are really great as you said. Alice (Genese) is fantastic on the bass, isn’t she?

And I love the idea that’s a girl playing the bass. That little strong woman: Goes Tack! Tack! Tack! (laughter) No really, I think it gives a strong identity to that song. It’s a nice opening track. It’s nice and a-l-i-v-e.

Don’t you come to play in Germany these times?

Oh yeah, we’re coming this September or October, and we will definitly play in Berlin. And it will be this band and for the first time in 15 years we will have a CD available which will be pretty much based on the set we play live. When we play live we usually end up playing for 3 hrs (laughs).

No really, once you’ve got all this work done and you’ve done a soundcheck you may as well use it. So, if the audience are happy, we’ll keep going.

Would you say the line ‘What The Hell Are We Fighting For’ is editorial?

Yes! Actually when I sang that in the end when we recorded the CD I was actually crying. I started to sob and cry. Because I thought of all the different things that people go through, all the bigotry and hatred and misunderstandings and miscommunication create violence and create the idea that the only thing to do with something we don’t understand is to attack it. And it just devastates me when I think about it, the sadness of that, when really we as such wonderful creatures with all such great ablilities to imagine and to create and yet so many times we forget that and we struggle and loose our temper and become much less than human, really. And that worries me, so it’s about every form of conflict that really we should have grown beyond by now in our history.

It’s about demons too.

Oh, the demons could be our own demons, politicians, they could be indutrialists or bankers or they could be the person next door that just doesn’t like what you wear. Could be anything. They come and go! (laughs).

I try to make everything have open-meanings, not be really didactic, but have an open meaning with different layers.

Do you think it’s possible to get higher & higher everyday?

(laughs) I like to believe so. I really do. I like to think that we can find processes of stripping away our own baggage until we just learn a bit more. It’s that classic problem, as you learn more you realise, this sounds corny, but you always realise how little you know. But that might be when you get higher & higher. As you start to become humble and understand how little can be achieved, and yet how much you can achieve by letting go of arrogance.

But it’s also about transgression?

(laughs) Well in my life it usually is (laughs).

David Stubbs said in his review of the latest TG Record (The Endless Not) that the time for it is right because it fits with the impending Cultural End Times…

I think its very possible. I think that we really reached a very fragile place in our evolutionary history as a species. And we’ve had 2000 yrs at least of patriarchy. And patriarchy is basicly about a binary system where one is out of balance with the other, it’s about separation, and about power and the suppression of difference and the suppression of anything other. So we created this technological environment with our imagination which is miraculous and fabulous but we haven’t done anything of note really for a long time, not since a small part of the sixties to get our consciousness up to the same place. We bothered to evolve our consciousness at a similar rate. So we have a pre-historic behaviour pattern. And a futuristic enviroment. And that’s a recipe for disaster. Sadly, the commonest response to that across the world is violence. And the idea that one belief system is somehow superior to another, that all comes out to this biological imbalance. That’s why we’re so interested in pandrogyny. It’s the idea of union instead of dis-union, this separation. In the Native American language there is no word for death. There is only the word separation. Because the spirit is seperated from the body. And I ve taken that to heart in many ways. I think that separation is a much better word for what happens. And once you separate male/female or you separate anything into a binary system of either/or good/bad, black/white, male/female etc you re creating tension, you are creating polarity and that creates violence. And when we have this technology that we have now that people are so greedy to consume and to feel that they can own, its all about phallic worship, really… the great surge towards wanting to have nuclear weapons is about the sense of impotence, male impotence in certain political and other systems, belief-systems.

It’s all about control, being disciplined and sober and functional.


Do you think?

Well, yes!

It’s also about austerity. It has nothing that’s unnecessary. It’s just the simplest, most functional thing.

Entropy.

Oh yes! We certainly are in a situation of entropy. But I refuse to accept that. That’s why we propose pandrogyny which is about the union of opposites and the creation of balance and ultimately the return to the search for the divine. The divine was originally hermaphroditic in all the ancient belief-systems and myths. Even in early Christianity the divine idea was hermaphroditic. It had to be! For male and female are to come from it. And once we separate ourselves from that concept we re lost and just become confused and out of control and behave in pre-historc ways. We fight and fly, we flee and fight and we attack anything different anything that’s other because we are afraid of what we don’t understand. So, we are in a very volatile and dangerous place globally. And there need to be some very radical proposals made about evolution. And most of all, that the consciousness of the species must now be taken very seriously and brought up to the same level as technology. It’s ludicrous that we are looking into and spending as much money on consciousness research as we are spending on weapons research. It’s ridiculous. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Would you explain what you call the ‘Fictional Self’.


Yes, I could try (laughs). If you imagine when you were first conceived by your parents you are inside the womb of your mother, your family will talk about if you are a boy or a girl, what name you will have, they start to create a fictional person before you are even born. Based on their expectation, desires, their hopes that you ll have a better life that they felt they had. And so from that moment that you are conceived you are being programmed by other people who have their own agenda, their own strategies, their own desires for you. And that might have nothing to do for what you might be when you appear. And then from the moment you are born that continues, pressure is put on by what you get to wear, the color clothes you have and which people you have to play with, what school you go and it goes on and on and on. The fictional character has nothing to do what you might really be if you were left alone to develop yourself. So, what that means is that by the time you reach puberty and you start to create an individual, separate person - yourself, with a S-E-L-F as in big letters, YOURSELF, that you have to start to be the author of your own story, write your own narrative.

And to leave the conditioning?


Yes. You have to break and try to wipe clean the Fictional Self that was given to you by the other people maybe not maliciously but nevertheless without full consideration of your requirements and needs. And you have to take control of your story and write it yourself.

You ve got an exhibition going in NYC regarding your experience with gender features, the process of gender change.

Yes. The idea is to become an hermaphroditic to become both sexes. William Burroughs and Brion Gysin they would collaborate with cut-ups and they would say that the result of that cut-up was not written by either of them but was the result of a third mind. So Lady Jane and I decided to take a look at that and take it further because of our thoughts about the Fictional Self and Identity and Pandrogyny. So the Pandrogyn is a third being, that is a result that Lady Jane and I combining as one. So the Pandrogyn is everything that two of us are. And we wanted to make that statement even more clear by using surgery and other techniques to look more and more alike to reduce the differences, to suggest that that’s what the species must do to evolve, to look for similarities. You’re reducing the idea of something different being innately an enemy or a threat. I m looking for similarities instead of differences you are taking a very different basic step of perception, you are looking for reunion instead of power.

Religious Knives is Maya Miller, Michael Bernstein and Nate Nelson residing in Brooklyn. Maya and Michael run the Heavy Tapes cassette and art label and have played over 100 improvised shows with New York Drone mainstays Double Leopards. Nate Nelson co-runs the Our Mouth label and plays with kings of brutality Mouthus. Religious Knives is an extended song-based trio who explore the finer points of the "now" - an elusive thing, at best. Transitioning from improvised noise to tight melodic inverted song forms, and back, Religious Knives evoke Goblin, Popul Vuh, and many other favorable comparisons amongst critics. Close your eyes and enjoy.

airport warairport war

Airport War made its debut in November 2005 at PERFORMA with an installation and performance at the White Box Gallery in New York. This occasion also marked Airport War’s first release—Over and Over the Endless Corner, a 16 record album/carry-away installation. Airport War has since played at many galleries and museums in New York City, including the New Museum and PS1, as well as clubs in an around New York City.

Taking its cue from the sound poetry of Henri Chopin and the pioneers of power electronics, Airport War’s music is created through electronic feedback, voice manipulation, and signal processing. Airport War’s current set up is comprised entirely of two turntables.

HeatsickHeatsick

HEATSICK is the solo guise of Steven Warwick, one half of ecstatic psychedelic duo Birds of Delay. Releases on own Alcoholic Narcolepsy Label and upcoming on New Age cassettes, Hiul City and Not Not Fun.
"dense tarp honey fly cobweb former and smashers. like being carried through a new portal at dusk with hazy recollections of the previous. looped memory melts transporting into a whole new fucked hybrid. sunset melts and babbling brook carries you along for the ride. January River and the lost sediment. Akin to travelling through sinotays (sic) with gaseous clouds of various densities"

File Under: Jimi Hendrix

"New jams recorded over the last few months. Yellow tar visions... more trickly... cavernous. Honey comb like fly visions slow motion ascent flying into a candle..." - AN.

Heatsick is Steven Warwick, half of the up-and-coming sound abusers Birds of Delay, has been using his own Alcoholic Narcolepsy label to spread his solo Heatsick project. Any more releases like this one and it’s only a matter of time before the bigger underground indies come calling. Warwick performing the same kind of magic that Richard D. James did with soldering irons on Selected Ambient Works II. The cut-price ambience of the keyboard’s melody is easy to get lost in; the sound quality and tape hiss just adds to the charm.

Extra Action Marching Band: street parade a Pisa

dal 14/07/2007 19:00 al 14/07/2007 23:45

 

Extra Action Marching Band

Sabato 14 Luglio 2007 direttamente da San Francisco, California, la band musicale Extra Action Marching Band si esibirà in una street parade a Pisa.

La Extra Action Marching Band è una banda di strada californiana. Il loro spettacolo musicale e folkloristico è una energica ricognizione della storia delle bande di strada. Le loro originali musiche sono un mix sorprendente di Jazz, Funk, Musica Balcanica e New Orleans Second Line Brass. E' una esperienza musicale aperta che accoglie e fagocita in se le influenze del Metal dell'Industrial fino ad arrivare, in particolar modo nella sezione percussioni, ai ritmi tribali, africani e latini.

Una numerosa e fornita band che conta 24 musicisti (13 ottoni, 8 percussionisti e un suonatore di corno) e 4 ballerine. La commistione tra le danze e la musica e tra i musicisti e i performers, dà vita ad uno spettacolo brutale e provocante, a tratti sexy e grottesco, dove la carica ipnotica rimbomba nei timpani dello spettatore e scardina, come una fiamma ossidrica psichedelica, la porta che separa il pubblico dagli artisti. La portata musicale e i ritmi di danza danno vita ad una performance energica e potente che travolge e abbatte qualsiasi barriera, qualsiasi paletto.

Dove: concentramento ore 19:00 Logge dei Banchi - fine street e concerto Piazza Santa Caterina, Pisa.

Falene cibernetiche

 
 
Ecco che dai laboratori degli USA hanno sfornato delle farfalle manipolate.... delle farfalle cyborg per spiare la gente... dove andremo a finire ??? Vere e proprie cyberfarfalle sono state realizzate presso i laboratori della Cornell University. Gli insetti con innesti elettronici sono il risultato del lavoro del professor David Erickson, supportato dal suo team presso il dipartimento di ingegneria meccanica ed aerospaziale. Per la creazione delle falene bioniche i ricercatori hanno deciso di iniziare il loro lavoro durante i primi stadi di crescita degli insetti.

Tra le caratteristiche della Manduca Sexta, la specie scelta per gli esperimenti, c'è un ciclo di vita che comprende quattro tappe: uovo, larva, pupa e insetto adulto. Ciascuno di questi stadi si presenta con morfologie e caratteristiche molto differenti: grazie agli studi di Erickson è stato possibile impiantare dei "dispositivi nanofluidi" già all'interno della larva o della pupa, vale a dire all'interno di insetti non ancora del tutto maturi.

Le notevoli capacità rigenerative che corrispondono alla muta da uno stadio all'altro, garantiscono la possibilità di inserire una qualche forma di dispositivo elettronico nella futura falena, che verrà "integrato" dai tessuti e dalle strutture organiche dell'insetto durante la crescita, realizzando così una efficiente e stabile interfaccia organico-elettronica.

I vantaggi sono un indubbio costo inferiore rispetto a soluzioni totalmente elettroniche, unito ad una più ampia varietà di possibili applicazioni per i cyberinsetti: dalla sorveglianza alla ricerca di esplosivi o sostanze tossiche, tutto sarà reso possibile dalla capacità di controllare il volo e la posizione degli sciami o del singolo individuo, senza dover perdere tempo ad elaborare sistemi nervosi e appendici alari che la Natura ha già affinato nel corso di millenni.

Le farfalle cyborg non sono una notizia recentissima, ma se ne parla molto in questi giorni dopo che alcune foto e addirittura un filmato (ritirato dall'autore) sono comparsi online per mostrare i primi frankestein prodotti in laboratorio, a dispetto di chi dava per spacciato questo progetto più di un anno fa.

E se tutto questo sembra già visto o già sentito, niente di strano: la Cornell University non fa altro che tentare di soddisfare le richieste a sfondo militare della solita DARPA, l'agenzia per la ricerca del Pentagono, che è alla finestra ad attendere nuove idee ed esperimenti di successo dopo aver già investito, a quanto si dice, un paio di milioni di dollari.

"DARPA è alla ricerca di proposte innovative per sviluppare la tecnologia di creazione di cyberinsetti" si legge in una nota dell'agenzia governativa: "L'obiettivo finale di questo programma è la realizzazione di un insetto capace di giungere in un raggio di cinque metri da un obiettivo posto a centinaia di metri di distanza, utilizzando un controllo remoto o un GPS".

Lo scopo, manco a dirlo, è la sorveglianza invisibile di luoghi o persone, un po' come cercano di fare in Cina coi piccioni, o peggio. Sempre che gli spiati non adottino una altrettanto efficace, quanto poco tecnologica, contromisura. Di mezzo, intanto, ci vanno le farfalle.

Diffusione libera di informazione in italia e all'estero

Un problema legale ha recentemente coinvolto textz.com in seguito alla denuncia per aver diffuso liberamente diverse pagine di un libro di Adorno (http://www.textz.com/adorno/).

Dalla pagina http://www.neural.it/nnews/greytuesdayadorno.htm (27.02.04)

"Sebastian Luetgert, animatore di textz.com, sito che da anni rende scaricabili in formato testo celebri libri politici e letterari, sta rischiando l'arresto. La Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Culture gli ha chiesto di pagare 2.300 euro per la pubblicazione non autorizzata di due testi di Theodor W. Adorno ('Jargon der Eigentlichkeit' e 'Fascism and Anti-Semitic Propaganda'), di cui la fondazione avrebbe i diritti. La denuncia fu fatta nel 2002, senza alcuna comunicazione a textz.com, che, una volta notificato della stessa provvide a rimuovere immediatamente i file. La fondazione, il cui nome ha assunto risvolti quantomeno ironici, ha persino impugnato una richiesta di dottorato gratuito per ripagare il danno causato, spingendo ancora di più la richiesta di pagamento o di arresto. A questo punto Luetgert ha deciso di rendere pubblico il tutto, contando nel sostegno della quantità di gente che avvezza alle regole autodeterminate che vigono in rete, vede l'assurdità della richiesta. La persecuzione sui due testi di Adorno sembra ancora più paradossale, tenendo presente i contenuti dei testi stessi. Varie le possibilità di supportare Luetgert, fra cui una petizione, un banner, e l'acquisto di una copia di The Conceptual Crisis of Private Property as a Crisis in Practice, per sostenere le spese legali."

Ho deciso di uploadare alcuni testi in lingua inglese molto interessanti che erano disponibili nel sito http://www.textz.com. Li potete trovare qui.
