The freak genius of Australian prepared piano/modular synth whiz Anthony Pateras goes head-to-head with the Sicilian sound aktionist Valerio Tricoli on Revox for an evening of uncategorisable electronic music and improvisation.
ANTHONY PATERAS
Piano / Modular Synth
Anthony Pateras is a composer and performer from Melbourne, Australia. Primarily an idiosyncratic pianist, he also performs on modular synthesizer.
His musical activity runs the gamut from the large-scale hyper-ambitious ensemble writing to extended prepared piano pieces and immersive noise. His longest running projects are the event-heavy, analog/digital synth duo with DSP/lazer whiz Robin Fox (Editions Mego) and the acclaimed free music trio Pateras/Baxter/Brown.
His collaborators reflect his diversity, having worked with Han Bennink, Brett Dean, Valerio Tricoli, Oren Ambarchi, MC Vulk Makedonski, Jim Denley, Paul Lovens, Christian Fennesz, Richard Tognetti, Lucas Abela, Slave Pianos, Thomas Lehn and The Necks. In 2011 he will be starting new collaborations with DJ erikM and guitarist Stephen O'Malley.
Anthony performs regularly throughout the world, and his music is released through the labels Tzadik (NYC), Editions Mego (Vienna) and Lexicon Devil (Melbourne). Anthony Pateras website (Pateras Photo: Marion Innocenzi)
VALERIO TRICOLI
Revox
One Italy's more enigmatic electronic musicians - Tricoli has been investigating the complex relationship between self, sound and devices for more than a decade - Psychic processes translated in soundscapes, and vice versa. He is a member of 3/4 Hand Been Eliminated (Häpna / Die Schactel) - a super-group drawn from Italy's improvising community that carries on the mantle handed down by This Heat, intertwining musique concrete and free improv with rock dynamics. His two solo works on Bowindo 'Metaprogramming within the eye of the storm' and 'Did They? Did I?' offer up two slabs of brilliantly baffling musique concrete and his nimble production work added much to the distinct soundworld of Autistic Daughters' two records and Dean Roberts 'Be Mine Tonight' (Kranky).
" " [sic] TIM GOLDIE
" "[sic] TIM GOLDIE is one of the most original noise musician/performers on the European scene. His double album "ABJECTOR"[sic] is a violent and considered examination of the fragmentation of language, the de-composition of instrumental research and the painful suffering that accompanies it. Far from any current or cultural influence, Goldie's work places itself in a unique conceptual universe, and its cruel voice warbles a mix of agony and ecstasy. - Netmage Festival, Italy 2009
A kind of mutant cross-pollination of noise, live art, dada and UK improvisation. Unsettling and confusing. But not in the ways you might expect. In their extreme noise and ominous silence, in their mordantly sad, caustic and bizarre, maybe even pathetic actions, it’s just difficult to tell whether or not his performances are a skilled and trenchant, but dreadful parody of your own pointless aspirations for self-expression – this uneasiness, this being unsure what’s going on, is, in the end, the point. - Instal Festival, Scotland 2010

Eintritt frei.
Mattin (geboren 1977 im Baskenland) ist Laptopmusiker
mit der Reputation ein Meister der Improvisation zu
sein.Die performativen Aspekte der
Computer-Improvisation haben ihn dazu veranlasst, die
unterschiedlichen Bedeutungen, die diese Praxis in den
verschiedenen Kontexten haben kann, zu untersuchen.
Ein Grossteil seiner akustischen Feldforschungen
basieren auf Kontrasten.Dem Kontrast zwischen extrem
Lautem und extrem Leisem, sowie dem Verhältnis der
digitalen Klänge des Computers zu seinen "physischen"
Geräuschen. "Ich attakiere diesen alten Computer
manchmal physisch. Mal schalte ich ihn erst gar nicht
an, ein anders mal spiele ich nur mit dem Geräusch der
Harddrive oder des CD-Brenners.
Manchmal öffne ich den Bildschirm nicht oder spiele
nur mit dem Summen der Erdung. Die Möglichkeiten
dieser grossartigen Maschine sind endlos."
Mattin hat Bildende Kunst und Kunstgeschichte in
London studiert und ist neben seinen Tätigkeiten als
Musiker und Theoretiker auch Filmemacher. Eine seiner
theoretischen Schriften beschäftigt sich mit den
politischen Dimensionen der Freien Improvisation. " Es
besteht die Notwendigkeit, mit all den vorangegangenen
Auffasungen von Musik zu brechen. Der Meta-Musiker ist
nicht nur gleichzeitig Spieler/Komponist und Zuhörer,
sondern im selben Moment Revolutionär und Konsument
der Revolution der beteiligten Mitspieler."
Sein letzter Kurzfilm befasst sich mit der
Gentrifizierung Bilbaos. .
ORIGINALFASSUNG, eine Serie von Gesprächen und
Diskussionen basiert eher auf
einem Verständnis von Zusammenarbeit als auf
Wettstreit, motiviert durch die Neugierde von Fremden
oder Besuchern verschiedene Felder zu betreten - wie
z. B. Wissenschaft, Musik, Architektur, Kunst, Tanz,
Choreographie, Theater, Politik, Design, Medien,
Wirtschaft, Journalistik.

October 3rd, 3pm - 6pm
on Brian Turner's show
Billy Bao is a Nigerian artist who emigrated to the Bilbao region
of
Spain, and a few years back churned out an insane 7" single of
scuzzed out, throat-shredding, guitar amp-destroying punk rock
distilled to its purest and most ludicrous form. He followed it up last
year with a CDEP that explored stumbling electronics and homemade
music-concrete in a way that offered up bits of tension
and silence to confuse/destroy in the same yet opposite manner as the
7". He now comes to play live on Brian's show, joined by his label boss
Mattin on guitar and NYC drummer Tim Barnes; what will be served up
will be anyone's guess but we're sure excited to find out.

26.10.2006 EARLY CONCERT THIS THURSDAY!!!
Different perspectives on the power of improvisation
Kouhei Matsunaga(Flying Swimming/Wordsound/Tigerbeat6/CFET/Japan)
Toshio Munehiro(Handshake/Japan)
From Japan this duo will preset an electronic set that surely will make
you think about how far music can be push.
Josetxo Grieta (Euskal Herria)
From the Basque country Josetxo Anitua (from the legendary Cancer Moon)
and Mattin, will perform their debut concert in Berlin. Unfortunately
this time they will perform without their drummer Piji.
They use improvisation and noise to deconstruct the more obscures sides
of Rock and Roll. Intimate yet utterly raw.
They just have released "Reminder of a Precious Life" on Audiobot
(Belgium), and they are about to release "Euskal Semea" on w.m.o/r.

Ramon Churruca-COMO TE PONGO?
El controvertido artista de la margen derecha pondra la banda sonora en
directo a su obra maestra cinematográfica Mente Mutua.
POSTKAKOFUNK
Proyecto en solitario del que fuera uno de los artífices del grupo
kakofunk,
actitud brikoleur para una experimentación enemíga del sonido digital.
Acción basada
en el juego de la retroalimentación con pletinas de cinta marnética.
TÜSÜRI & XEDH
El joven gipuzkoano Tüsüri proviene del dark ambient, los drones y las
atmósferas de espacios industriales; El Gasteiztarra XEDH sin embargo
del noise, el sucio-pop descompuesto (Baba llaga) y de intensidades de
tiempo industrial. Pero en los últimos tiempos ambos parecen estar
explorando cada uno por su lado nuevos camínos que, en mas de una
ocasión, conviven a la perfección. Presentaran una obra de claras
implicaciones conceptuales, en la que las grabaciones de campo
previamente realizadas en los alrededores industriales de Beurko seran
las protagonistas.
FLAMA
Flujo acústico matériko es un combo de improbización ruidosa sin más
restricciones que las impuestas por los materiales empleados. Flujos de
sonido donde el único criterio compositivo es aceptar los accidentes,
las limitaciones y todo lo que entre en el tiempo de acción.
Maite Arroitajauregi & Ibonrg
Contraste musical unido por el poder de la improvisación. Maite
Arroitajauregi ha estudiado el violonchello en el conservatorio en
Donostia e Ibonrg (Eten) viene del postrock desde Sestao.
La unión hace la fuerza!
Josetxo Grieta es el proyecto de Josetxo Anitua (Cancer Moon), Iñigo
Eguillor (Gringo) y Mattin (Billy Bao) que nace en Febrero de 2006 con
la única premisa de aunar improvisación y ruido a los aspectos más
oscuros del
rock’n’roll. Acaban de publica su segundo trabajo "Euskal Semea" en el
sello w.m.o/r.
Baseline (Pilar Baizán), proyecto sonoro electrónico de texturas
profundas, contrastes, manipulación de loops a partir del tratamiento
minucioso de pequeños fragmentos sonoros y largo alcance emocional.
Billy Bao es el cantautor nigeriano (Lagos, 1970) influenciado por los
Stooges y que vive en Bilbao desde mediados de los ochentas. La gente ha
intentado definir su música como Punk, Noise Punk, Post-Punk, Punk
conceptual,
Rock Concrete o como el eslabon perdido del Rock Radical Vasco (Alan
Courtis) pero nada de estas definiciones se acerca a la realidad. Esta
noche Billy Bao contara con la presencia de Alberto Lopez (ex-La Secta,
ex-Yogur,
ex-Atom Rhumba), Xabier Erkizia (ex-Gutariko Bat) y Mattin (Josetxo
Grieta)

The Spectacle of Being The Spectacle:
A homage to Guy Debord's first film: Hurlements en faveur de Sade.
Using light, noise and its antonymous in order to expose the way that
roles and hierarchies
are created once you enter the concert situation .
Usually the performer is the one to dictate what happens and the
audience has to accept whatever decisions the performer takes such as
when to begin and when to end. This type of concerts helps the
reproduction of
stereotypes and an easy consumption of culture, in which the passivity
of the audience is often regarded as ''respect''. During this concert
we will question this ''role creation'' by extending notions of
improvisation to the
psyche of the spectators: the spectacle of being the spectacle.

DHHK are Tim Goldie, the Abjector, and Mattin, a Virtuoso Rape Genius,
two of Europe's (London/Berlin) most prolific conceptual improv
musicians. Having played/recorded with the likes of Eddie Prevost and
Philip Best (Whitehouse), they have mastered their way around a block,
that leads straight to the deeper bond between sound, head, instrument
and heart. Gorily sophisiticated, Goldie kicks the shit out of his
drums, tends to them with a beautiful caress in return, and then
simply ignores them altogether; while Mattin explores and retrieves an
array of sounds from the magical depth of contrast in computer
technology. As friends and foes they unite with a firm grip on the
trigger in a rapacious battle of liberation against the obvious.
Cathartic to say the least.
"A concert or album of unrelenting ferocious noise, whether by
Hijokaidan,
Borbetomagus, Merzbow or The Dust Breeders, may be a highly enjoyable
rush of pure adrenaline, but it's no longer exactly a surprise. Mattin
and Goldie can burst eardrums as well as the above - watch your
speakers on the apocalyptic "Submucosa" - but they've learnt their
lowercase lesson well, and use disturbingly quiet passages and slow
menacing drones to equally devastating effect.....Luxury is an album
of awesome intensity, one that deserves to be blasted mercilessly from
a 40,000W PA outside Huntingdon Life Sciences every day until the
torture ceases."
Kreisend inmitten der Elite konzeptueller Improv Musiker, kann sich
das Duo Deflag Haemorrhage/Haien Kontra (Berlin/London) mit der
musikalischen Freundschaft zu Eddie Prevost and Philip Best
schmuecken, aber ist schon seit Jahren auf einem eigenstaendigen Pfad
der Erleuchtung, wenn es sich um das filigrane Verhaeltnis zwischen
Geraeusch, Kopf, Instrument und Herz dreht.
In blutiger Kopfmarnier drischt Goldie auf sein Schlagzeug ein, um es
danach zu umarmen und dennoch wieder links liegen zu lassen. Schweigen
wird auch hier zu wahrem Gold. Mattin kreiert Toene aus den Tiefen des
Kontrasts in Computer Technologie, deren Ursprung einem jedoch auf
mysterioese Weise verborgen bleibt, um sich immer wieder zu versoehnen
am Gewehrabzug in der Schlacht des Befreiungskrieges gegen das
Offensichtliche. Eine tonale Erloesung.
ushi hupe kommt auch! es wird dunkelbunt und hupt sich in den äther
oder umgekehrt. womöglich werden wir den ansatz einer ushi hupe
portfoliosierung miterleben & wenn sie ihre texte findet, dann wird
womöglich auch gesungen. ushi hupt, projiziert und gibt gas: tutut

Grace Space at 840 Broadway in Brooklyn.
Review of Margarida
Garcia/Mattin set from Brian Olewnick
Yet
another new-ish (to me) space in Brooklyn, Grace Space, alongside the
elevated J line, hosted an event last evening, three sets, all
problematic in one way or another but all at least somewhat intriguing.
The room is pretty nice and spacious, though there's a bar to the rear
which engenders typical bar noise and patter, if that's a bother to
some.
Lastly was the duo of Mattin and Margarida
Garcia. Margarida began by herself in, to me, a surprisingly rockish,
even heavy metal-redolent style, doing a series of hums followed by
strong, tonal strums of her bass thingy that immediately brought old
Black Sabbath to mind. She did blocks of attacks punctuated by near
silences. When she took the bow to the bass, she summoned forth
amazingly evocative echoes of portions of Hendrix' "Star Spangled
Banner" and other guitar freak-outs. Not sure if this was intended,
but...These portions were a little odd; interesting in a way but
kinda...non-nutritional. Better were the between moments when she
subtly manipulated some humming tones by applying pressure near the
bridge--that was really nice. She played for some 20 minutes, said
"Thank you" and that was that. Mattin's contribution to the set was
listening as a member of the audience.
For myself, there was a
little bit more since, as it happened, I didn't notice him sitting
there. So there was an element of tension for me, waiting for his
arrival on stage. I was half-anticipating a blood-curdling scream
coming from a few feet behind me, for instance. But, no.
Discuss amongst yourselves....

HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA
"Defusing preconceptions
of what a live event should be and degrading its components - the
sound, the performance, the audience - without imposing aesthetic or
moral limits: this is the reason for being of Deflag
Haemorrhage/Haien Kontra, the project born in 2001 from the minds of
two of the most unpredictable and 'conceptual' contemporary sonic
activists: Mattin and "
"[sic] Goldie. Ferocity and
immobility, instruments abused and unused, musicians zombiefied in
their 'stage persona' and in general the sense of psychosis, of
necessary superfluousness that gushes from every gesture, from each
decision taken by this anglo-basco duo make their live event an
experience that is all but impossible to relate to, at least until
they've stripped you of the costuming of dominant culture. "
"[sic] Goldie is one of the most original noise
musician/performers on the European scene. His double album
"ABJECTOR"[sic] is a violent and considered examination of
the fragmentation of language, the de-composition of instrumental
research and the painful suffering that accompanies it. Far from any
current or cultural influence, Goldie's work places itself in a
unique conceptual universe, and its cruel voice warbles a mix of
agony and ecstasy. Netmage Festival, Italy 2009"
"The
most abject music ever made against the reproduction of
stereotypes.
When noise becomes impotence, when impotence becomes a
weapon.
Noise and improvisation never done before, including elements
of
performance and conceptual art. Overdose of meaning, sucked
into vacuum of dissolution. You never know where your are. DEFLAG
HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA formed in 2001 in Hackney, East London.
Noumenal power improv where anything can happen. The improvisation is
no longer happening just with musicians and their instruments but on
the head of the spectator. Frustration as psychological danger.
We
all are spectators: appearance of dissolution mirroring the
averageness of our
lives. Something must be done." Mattin
2009
DEFLAG HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA collaborated with some
of
the most radical and legendary musicians in the
avant-garde such
as Eddie Prevost (AMM) and Philip Best
(Consumer Electronics,
ex-Whitehouse).
DEFLAG HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA performed in
European festivals
such as Netmage (Bologna), Abject Music
(Berlin), MEM (Bilbao) and TheErrorIsMedia
(London). They
recently depleted a residency at Worm

¿De
qué manera la improvisación necesita aprender de la
okupación para
habitar y crear un espacio social lo más autónomo y libre
posible? ¿Cómo podría afectar a la
gestión de los gaztetxes si la música improvisada los
okupara? ¿Qué pasaría si los okupas
empezaran a hacer música
improvisada y los músicos de improvisación empezaran a
tomar espacios
para su libre gobierno? ¿Cómo podríamos violar los roles
e identidades que incluso en los ámbitos alternativos se van
reproduciendo? Os invitamos, desde la práctica experimental a
producir
situaciones irrepetibles e irrepresentables que colapsen tanto la idea
de okupa/músico/público como la de
charla/asamblea/concierto.
Situaciones que nos ayuden a la confeccion de nuevas estrategias.
No hay futuro (R.I.P)
Okupemos el presente (A.V.C.)* “En esta constelación de locales ocupados en los
que se
expresan, digan lo que digan, diferentes formas de agregación
colectiva
fuera de control, asistimos, en un primer momento, al crecimiento de
nuestra fuerza. Organizamos nuestra supervivencia elemental
recuperación, robo, trabajo colectivo, comidas comunes,
compartir
técnicas, materiales, inclinaciones amorosas y encontramos
formas de
expresión política conciertos, manifestaciones, acciones
directas,
sabotaje, panfletos-. Después, poco a poco, hemos asistido a la
transformación de lo que nos rodeaba en un medio y de ese medio
en
escena. Hemos asistido a la promulgación de una moral que vino a
sustituir la elaboración de una estrategia. Hemos asistido a la
solidificación de normas, a la construcción de
reputaciones, a la
puesta en funcionamiento de hallazgos, y al hecho de que todo se haya
convertido en extremamente previsible. La aventura colectiva ha mutado
en triste cohabitación. Una tolerancia hostil se ha
adueñado de todas
las relaciones. La gente se las apaña. E inevitablemente, al
fin, lo
que parecía ser un contra-mundo, no hacía más que
reducirse al mero
reflejo del mundo dominante: el mismo juego de valorización
personal en
el terreno del robo, de la pelea, de la corrección
política o de la
radicalidad; el mismo liberalismo sórdido en la vida afectiva,
las
mismas preocupaciones de territorio, de dominio, la misma
escisión
entre vida cotidiana y actividad política, las mismas paranoias
de
identidad. En el mejor de los casos se disfrutaba del lujo de huir
periódicamente de la miseria local, llevándola a sitios
donde aún es
exótica. No atribuimos estas debilidades al formato de casa
ocupada. No
lo negamos ni desertamos de él. Simplemente afirmamos que ocupar
casas
sólo volverá a tener sentido si lo entendemos en base al
acto de
compartir en el que estamos comprometidos. En las casas ocupadas, como
en cualquier otro lado, la confección colectiva de una
estrategia es la
única alternativa al recogimiento en una identidad, a la
integración o
al gueto.” LLAMAMIENTO
¿Qué tipo de relaciones pueden establecerse
entre la okupación y la
música improvisada? En la okupación se intentan generar
espacios
autodeterminados y autogestionados. En la improvisación se
intenta
tocar los instrumentos de maneras fuertemente personales rechazando la
obligatoriedad de su historia y tratando de establecer una forma
también autodeterminada de música y de relación
entre los músicos. De
esta manera se puede llegar a conseguir producción de
subjetividad más
allá de la lógica del mercado, pasando esta subjetividad
por la
producción de objetividad, esto es, por las condiciones
materiales en
las que ocurre (hay un espacio concreto con problemas materiales
específicos; si se construye un escenario o no, arreglar
baños, montar
una barra o una cocina, etc.).
La improvisación y la okupación comparten una
actitud a la hora de
cuestionar maneras convencionales de habitar el espacio o la
relación
con el instrumento y/o el espacio. En los gaztetxes suele haber mayor
libertad de comportamiento en términos de sexualidad, moral,
pensamiento político, etc. La okupación es la
intensificación del
presente en lugares determinados, una improvisación con nuestros
cuerpos en la cual el futuro es siempre incierto e inestable y lo que
nos une es la responsabilidad del momento, del aquí y ahora.
En Euskal Herria existe una tradición muy potente de
espacios
okupados y autogestionados con fines sociales; los gaztetxes. En la
historia de los gaztetxes siempre ha habido una fuerte conexión
con el
punk, una tradición que aún se mantiene. El punk daba
fuerza, coraje y
mala ostia a esas primeras patadas cuando los okupas abrían
espacios
por primera vez. El punk fue mucho más que sólo
música: fue toda una
movida social que incluía diferentes aspectos desde radios,
fanzines,
música, literatura, política, etc. Pero la fuerza de la
música ha sido,
y sigue siendo especialmente importante.
En la relación con los gaztetxes, el punk ha sido clave a la
hora de
canalizar muchísima energía y creatividad. Por necesidad
la gente tenía
que buscarse espacios donde poder tocar. Muchos gaztetxes empezaron
siendo locales de ensayo y muchas okupaciones han nacido de esta
necesidad, convirtiéndose así estos músicos en
okupas.
Para tocar punk uno necesita hacer canciones y un espacio
donde
ensayar. En el caso del punk, la energía se ha traducido a
menudo no
sólo en ese primer momento de okupación, sino
también en acciones
concretas y cotidianas para mantener la posibilidad de hacer
música. En
los gaztetxes, entre muchas otras cosas, la gente se ha organizado para
seguir una programación de conciertos con todo lo que eso
implicaba
desde el punto de vista social.
Pero en estos momentos el punk-rock esta de camino a la tumba
a
causa de una constante reproducción de clichés y
estereotipos, debido a
un progresivo ejercicio de auto-agotamiento. Hay “manuales” de buen
punk-rock, reglamentos implícitos que se han ido instituyendo
con los
años de práctica y experiencia social. La
“solidificación de las
normas” ha ido instaurándose en esa práctica de la que
nacieron muchos
espacios. ¿Cómo afecta esta normalización desde la
música al resto de
actividades de los espacios?, ¿no es una nueva
institución dentro de
los espacios la que hace que casi todo sea tan “extremadamente
previsible”?
Sin embargo, en la improvisación, la producción
musical tiene lugar
al mismo tiempo que su presentación. No hay ninguna estructura
prefijada tipo “canción” que medie de manera previsible entre
los
propios músicos o entre los músicos y la audiencia. Por
esto, es
posible que cualquier persona se una a la improvisación en
cualquier
momento, o se retire de ella cuando quiera. La canción punk
está
fuertemente sujeta a ciertas estructuras como riffs, estribillos,
intros, coros, melodías, etc. Sin embargo, la práctica de
la
improvisación está abierta a cualquier elemento que pueda
aparecer en
la situación concreta en la que los improvisadores se
encuentran. Esta
apertura hace posible que, por ejemplo, se pueda mantener una
conversación al mismo tiempo que se tocan los instrumentos. Los
improvisadores se escuchan e interactúan, al contrario que, por
poner
un caso, un guitarrista de punk que sólo interactúa con
los otros
músicos o incluso sólo consigo mismo.
Aunque el punk trate de romper con nociones de virtuosismo y
de
“tocar bien”, en su versión “rock” todavía se necesita
tener un
instrumento y tocarlo. La improvisación trata de romper con
valores y
jerarquías convencionales de lo que es calidad musical. Pero la
improvisación también tiene sus convenciones. En los
conciertos todavía
se reproduce la división entre músico y público:
normalmente los
músicos suelen ser respetados por sus capacidades y aptitudes
musicales. Cuando se empieza una improvisación, puede no saberse
bien
quién está definitivamente dentro y quién
definitivamente fuera, y esto
hace que el tipo de relación entre los participantes tenga un
carácter
público y político. Como dice Jean-Luc Guionnet, cada vez
que
improvisamos tenemos una nueva oportunidad de construir una
pequeña
sociedad momentanea y está en nuestras manos decidir de
qué tipo será:
anárkika, democrática, totalitaria, aristocrática,
etc. La
improvisación, como experiencia social, pasa por la
“confección
colectiva de una estrategia” para levantar el espacio de los
allí
presentes.
En estos momentos gran numero de gente improvisando en Euskal
Herria
y en numerosas ocasiones se han organizado conciertos de
improvisación
en diferentes gaztetxes. Pero raramente se ha tenido en cuenta la
relación entre esta práctica musical y las connotaciones,
repercusiones
y posibilidades con este tipo especial de espacios. Con este
experimento queremos expandir y explorar lo que puede llegar a ser la
improvisación en relación con la okupación.
Experimento: Queremos
colapsar los formatos de charla, conversación, asamblea y
concierto
para producir un espacio social lo más abierto posible.
Palabras,
gestos, ruido, silencios… Cuestionando las barreras habituales entre
okupas, músicos y público. No se trata de definir este
experimento de
una manera concreta (situación cotidiana, performance o
concierto),
sino de crear una situación única e irrepetible para
todas las personas
que participemos. No necesitamos escondernos en expectativas. Se trata
de intentar abordar la relación con el entorno desde una
perspectiva
diferente, sin reproducir roles ni jerarquías pre-establecidas
(ej. que
los músicos son agentes activos y el público un ser
pasivo).
Hablaremos, tocaremos y nos relacionaremos de diversas maneras que no
tengan que ser ni una cosa ni la otra, pero sobre todo de manera que la
propia práctica nos descubra sus posibilidades. Con este
experimento
queremos no sólo conocer mejor la situación actual de los
gaztetxes en
Euskal Herria, sino producir situaciones que nos ayuden a entender
qué
puede llegar a ser la okupación en relación a la
improvisación y
viceversa,
qué relaciones pueden existir entre estas dos
prácticas y de
qué manera se pueden complementar en una experiencia social y
cultural
tan potente como la de los gaztetxes.

Bulegoa z/b Solokoetxe 8 bajo. 48006 - Bilbao
Noise
& Capitalism is an ongoing collective research platform dedicated
to reflect in the way that capitalism conditions our life in relation
to the practices of noise and improvisation.
The practices of
noise and improvisation have historically claimed to be able to achieve
some emancipation, agency and empowerment. We want to explore and
question this potential.
Noise and improvisation are considered
practices of certain risk in regards not to just to the music industry
but also to the current spectacularisation of contemporary culture.
This initiative takes these risks as a practice of social
responsibility that in fact could take us beyond a phoney sense of
freedom into possible unities of differing.
The project
comprises different stages and approaches as the publication of a book,
the organisation of seminars, presentations and conferences and other
public presentation such as concerts and improvisational collective
events. It was initiated through the publication of a book edited by
Mattin and Anthony Iles and has contributions by authors: Ray Brassier,
Emma Hedditch, Matthew Hyland, Anthony Iles, Sara Kaaman, Mattin, Nina
Power, Edwin Prévost, Bruce Russell, Matthieu Saladin, Howard Slater,
Csaba Toth, Ben Watson.
The publication was launched within the
context of a seminar entitled Noise & Capitalism: Undoing,
Understanding and Sharing time together held in Audiolab-Arteleku,
Donostia-San Sebastián.
More recently the project has been
presented at Centre d’art contemporain de Brétigny in France under the
title Noise & Capitalism Exhibition as Concert (August-October
2010). Taking as a starting point the book Noise & Capitalism the
CAC exhibition context became an improvised concert lasting for two
months. By collapsing the formats of exhibition and concert into each
other, the potential of the different usages of the noun noise explores
rather than simply perpetuated noise as a musical genre. The exhibition
included interventions by Mattin, Loïc Blairon, Ray Brassier, Emma
Hedditch, Esther Ferrer, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Anthony Iles, Matthieu
Saladin and Howard Slater.
Bulegoa zenbaki barik
is an office for art and knowledge based in Bilbao and committed to
developing research and discussion. It is a collaborative initiative
created around a common interest in processes of historization,
cultural translation, performativity, the body, postcolonialism, social
theory, archival strategies and education.
Bulegoa z/b is a
platform inspired by the desire to bridge the gap between practice and
theory. Its aim is to build a space of sustained discourse and hybrid
situations where debate, discussion and exchange of ideas can take
place and artistic projects can be materialized. To achieve these
objectives, Bulegoa z/b organises seminars, presentations, screenings,
performances, talks, conversations and other activities.
Members of Bulegoa z/b are: Beatriz Cavia, Miren Jaio, Isabel de Naverán and Leire Vergara.
Why I didn't come to my concert (Mattin in conversation)
On
the 11th of December, Ruben Patino and Mattin played a couple of solo
concerts at Ausland, Berlin. Mattin's contribution to his concert were
his absence and a couple of instructions to be realized by the
organizers. For some reason or another the
organizers did not follow all the instructions. During the concert
there was a sense of confusion in the room. Mattin will explain why he
decided not to be present at the concert and why he still considers
this a concert of improvisation. Hopefully through this conversation we
will understand better what happened in the room and the confusion that
came out of this concert.

"It
is not just a place to hear works. It is also a theater where the
members of the audience observe each other. And themselves. It is a
space where we come to look at those who listen. Where we go to see
people listening, or even to listen to people listening. Listening to
(oneself) listening is also making the work into a battlefield: a
theater of operations of listening where various camps clash with each
other."
P. Szendy
"[…] The authority whose duty it was to know these
regulations, and, when known, to apply them in its judgments and to
penalize the disobedient, was not a pipe nor, as now, the mob's
unmusical shoutings, nor yet the clappings which mark applause: in
place of this, it was a rule made by those in control of education that
they themselves should listen throughout in silence, while the children
and their ushers and the general crowd were kept in order by the
discipline of the rod.
In the matter of music the populace willingly submitted to
orderly control and abstained from outrageously judging by clamor; but
later on, with the progress of time, there arose as leaders of
unmusical illegality poets who, though by nature poetical, were
ignorant of what was just and lawful in music; […] they unwittingly
bore false witness against music, as a thing without any standard of
correctness, of which the best criterion is the pleasure of the
auditor, be he a good man or a bad. By compositions of such a
character, set to similar words, they bred in the populace a spirit of
lawlessness in regard to music, and the effrontery of supposing
themselves capable of passing judgment on it. Hence the theater-goers
became noisy instead of silent, as though they knew the difference
between good and bad music, and in place of an aristocracy in music
there sprang up a kind of base theatrocracy. For if in music, and music
only, there had arisen a democracy of free men, such a result would not
have been so very alarming; but as it was, the universal conceit of
universal wisdom and the contempt for law originated in the music, and
on the heels of these came liberty.
[...] Next after this form of liberty would come that which
refuses to be subject to the rulers; and, following on that, the
shirking of submission to one's parents and elders and their
admonitions; then, as the penultimate stage, comes the effort to
disregard the laws […]"

Idée extrêmement simple qui amène la situation insupportablement loin. Comme appuyer sur un bouton interdit qui ouvre une boîte de Pandore. L’art comme excuse pour concevoir une logique différente, où la signification n’est pas un recours pour valider l’être. Réfutant l’esthétique avec une série de questions : Qu’est-ce qui pourrait dépasser l’auto-référentialité ? Le nihilisme ? L’auto-vandalisme ? mais c’est quoi, le soi ? C’est quoi, l’auteur ? C’est quoi, l’audience ? C’est quoi, le cadre ? Comment peut-on concevoir les limites sans les avoir atteint ? Relégation ultime, responsabilité ultime.
Deferral until you are there!
Ultra simple idea that takes the situation unbearably far. Like pressing a forbidden button which opens a can of worms. Art as an excuse for conceiving a different logic, where meaning is not a resort for validating being. Refuting aesthetics with a series of questions: What could go beyond self-referentiality? Nihilism? Self-vandalism? but what is the self? What is the author? What is the audience? What is the frame? How can we understand the limits without having
actually reached them? Ultimate relegation, ultimate responsibility.

Noise & Capitalism
Funeral and Zombification
with Anthony Iles D.A.I.
Arnhem
If previously, in improvisation, we tried to play our instruments
against the grain, against the way they have been conceived and
designed, what if from now on we don’t just deconstruct the instruments
but try to change the conditions that we are living in? Can we use
these material conditions as instruments of improvisation in order to
change them? If the material conditions that we are living in are
immersed in a capitalist logic, can we
pervert this logic by improvising ourselves?
What do I mean by ‘unconstituted praxis?’ It is a praxis without a
false sense of agency, without self-congratulation. It is a praxis
subsumed in alienation, not liberation. A form of play in which one
does not know whether one is having fun or not. It is social in the
sense that it questions what individual subjectivity is and how we are
produced in a given situation. In this sense, an unconstituted praxis
is the opposite of escapism. This praxis is like jumping into the void
of the situation that you are in, where you will discover uncertainty
in the certainty of where
you are as if you were a nyctalopic idiot.

>>>It's not your fault you are the authentic version of what the rest of us can only imagine.<<<
Sometimes the opportunity to try something new presents itself; 'step
out of your comfort zone' the self-help empowerment cliché would have
it. An old friend that I hadn't seen in maybe ten years was going to be
in town, performing with his 'improvisational' 'noise' band, DEFLAG
HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA. They were playing at a loft party in West
Oakland, at a house I'd never been to. Secret Oakland house tour stop
#27. I carried my bicycle upstairs and left it in what seemed to be
someone's workshop. I didn't recognize any of the living room
concertgoers. Many of them were enjoying what looked like some sort of
lentil stew. I felt like I was intruding on someone's private party,
albeit a party that was promoted somewhat cryptically on the Internet.
Serious-looking people busied themselves setting up a bewildering
assortment of unfamiliar electronic equipment coupled together with
guitar cables, bits of string, and dissected distortion pedals on stage
while a person I took to be the tenant/proprietor/curator played a
wonderful range of old jazz and blues records, many of them 78s. The
musicality of the recorded selections would stand as a direct contrast
to the live performances to come. After about an hour it looked
like things were ready to start. A young lady and gentleman took the
stage and proceeded to twiddle various knobs on their respective bits
and bobs of Radio Shack cast-offs, eliciting a series of distorted
complaints from the house speakers. Beeps, murmurs, and the occasional
feedback squawk punctuated the soundtrack seemingly at random. The pair
(I have since deduced that they are named Pigs In The Ground) were
hunched over their controls and seemed so attuned to what they were
doing that it was as if they were unaware the audience was even there. I
felt guilty¬–like I was spying on someone doing something they didn't
expect or want to be public. The noises came to an abrupt and not
immediately obvious end point and the performers looked up, a little
dazed and perhaps surprised to me met by a room full of people greeting
them with mild applause. Pigs In The Ground preceded another duo
called Bass Haters. I'm taking this name to be ironic, since fifty
percent of the group's music is made with a double bass (the other half
is drums). I confess I don't remember much about their performance
except that it seemed to consist of the type of improvised music that
looks like a lot of fun for the players but whose results are fairly
un-listenable. In the past I've likened improvised music to be more of a
sport than an artistic or musical activity. In the back and forth
interplay it's almost like being a spectator at a game of tennis or
squash. If the players are well matched a steady rhythm starts to form
and the excitement builds. You can't wait to see what will happen next.
If one or both players are rank amateurs, the results are painfully
difficult to watch. The rest of the audience, however, did not seem to
share my reticence. They stood attentively, heads bowed slightly towards
the stage, arms folded, brows knotted in serious musical appreciation.
Again, they somehow seemed to divine the appropriate moments for
applause. Next up came an assortment of Scandinavians. Specifically
Norwegians if the lady collecting money on behalf of the touring bands
(or perhaps more appropriately, international buskers) was to be
believed, although she did misjudge the country of origin of my friend's
band by approximately six hundred miles. Peninsula Project (aha, from
Oslo - thanks, Google!) looked promising as they set up: a double bass
(or cello? I never can tell. I was always a huge fan of Tom Cora's work
with The Ex though), a tuba with some kind of potential electronic
manipulation (possibly along the lines of the trumpet in Spaceheads?)
and an actual guitar. The bassist/cellist proceeded to wail on her
instrument with a violence that surely left her fingers blistered and
bloody. The guitarist, however, seemed to have spent more time on his
angular dance moves than on coming up with ideas for playing his
instrument. Instead he relied on the age-old and boring trope of the
'improvisational' guitarist - he attacked the guitar as if he'd never
even seen one played before, stretching all the strings and hammering
the pickups, while randomly stepping on and off of his distortion
pedals. This produced a rather disappointing series of hiccups and a
burp or two of feedback. I paid close attention, but nothing close to a
note, chord, or riff was ever forthcoming. I realize I'm not the
target audience for this sort of thing; I still suffer from a base,
lowbrow fascination with songs, structure, and melody. Although I am
among the minority among the MRR staff who have time for arty,
experimental, atonal, or arrhythmic sounds, I think the trick is in
making serious art without taking yourself too seriously. Enter
DEFLAG HAEMORRHAGE/HAIEN KONTRA. A collaboration between London musician
Tim " "(sic) Goldie and Spaniard Mattin (perhaps best known to
readers of this magazine as the guitarist in Billy Bao), they have just
released their second album of improvised recordings, "Humiliated"
(Tochnit Aleph). How they came to embark on a somewhat hastily (and
sketchily) arranged tour of American living rooms will have to be a
story for another time, but here they were, and indeed, so was I. I
didn't know what to expect from them: I had never heard their music or
seen them before. However, knowing Tim's playful personality, I did
expect to be entertained. Assorted bearded chin-strokers positioned
themselves in the prime arms-folding zone in front of the stage. I
watched as their discomfort grew when they realized that Mattin was not
going to honor the golden rule that the performer must act as if they
are playing to an empty room. He stepped down from the stage, mic in
hand, screaming spit and bile over the laptop soundtrack of a hundred
cattle cars clattering their way to the slaughterhouse. He turned to
watch his partner on stage rap out a battery on a single cymbal,
betraying possession of actual drumming skills. Several minutes of
abuse, screaming, and snare drum scratches were punctuated by
uncomfortable silence. The set was physical as well as musical, intense
yet humorous, yet clearly meant to engage us with the event. Closer to
performance art than the clandestine (yet no doubt technically
ground-breaking) wanking of the previous artists. I confess this scene
is unfamiliar to me. I don't read the Wire. But it was clear that there
was a difference between what Tim and Mattin were trying to do and what
everyone else was doing. It's not my intention to dip a toe into someone
else's scene and make sweeping pronouncements about something I clearly
don't understand, but it does seem like there's an element of the
Emperor's new clothes about the whole thing. Still, it was interesting
to go out and spend an evening with people who have never heard of
Cocksparrer, if only so I can report my sociological findings to you, my
loyal readers. Allan McNaughton Maximum Rock 'n Roll
