The video camera follows four separate people, moving through the
forest, each listening to their own music on their ipod, each unaware
of the others, moving to the syncopated rhythm of their music, totally
absorbed by their natural environment, deeply involved with the forest.
Another video camera focuses on a drummer performing on a platform
high up in the trees.
The four tracks of music, in the four separate videos, combine into one
piece of music when projected onto the walls of the gallery. A fragment
of the natural environment, the drummer sitting on the platform in the
tree, has been transported into the gallery to perform with the four videos.
The videos come to represent an artificial fragment of reality. But the
drummer on the platform in the tree in the gallery is an actual fragment
of the performance in the forest. Yet he is completely out of place in
the gallery. Reality becomes artifice while reproduction shows what is
real. The roles have interchanged in some kind of a short circuit, as if
the drummer orchestrated the whole performance, playing in the tree,
keeping the four different realities together and dialoguing with them.
Then a new element is added. City life comes to the gallery in the form
of a DJ, who adds his live set into the music, jamming with the drummer
and the forest performers.
Sulla scia del panico causato dal virus killer (e-coli o escherichia coli) che ha già provocato varie morti per diarrea emorragica in Germania vi propongo questo ascolto:
Throbbing Gristle E-Coli
from their 1978 album D.O.A. The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Bokassà è una band di amici baresi che ultimamente mi hanno invitato a partecipare (con uno scratch freestyle) ad un brano del loro nuovo album Summit uscito per la free net label Lepers Produtcions.
Lepers Produtcions — http://www.lepers.it/
Bokassà – Inimigo Publico (featuring THX at the turntables)
qui di seguito la descrizione dell’album tratta dal loro sito:
Mangiare carne umana, questa è l’ultima stravagante moda che si sta diffondendo in tutti i posti più ‘in’ del Sud del mondo. Solquest, alexander de large e Superfreak, rinomati amanti di tutte le ultime tendenze, non potevano resistere al fascino dell’ultima follia e riuniti nella squadra d’attacco denominata Bokassà si danno ad un afropunk scatenato divorandosi l’un l’altro fino all’inevitabile silenzio.
Zampana ci ha messo un po’ di rumori percussivi, THX un super assolo di scratch, ma questo non è stato sufficiente a salvargli la vita.
26 minuti in cui Mandela e il Ku Klux Klan si riuniscono in un gaio banchetto a base di carne umana
To eat human flesh: the latest fancy trend spreading in the hippest of places in the South of the world. Solquest, alexander de large, and Superfreak, renowned lovers of the latest fads whatsoever, couldn’t resist the appeal of this latest frenzy and, gathered in the attack squad named Bokassà, took up playing a hog-wild afro-punk, devouring each other till the inevitable silence.
Zampana putted some percussive noise, THX is the grandmaster of a super scratch solo, but this things weren’t enough for saving their lives
26 minutes in which Mandela and the Ku Klux Klan gather together in a gay feast of human meatflesh.
