electroaltar last chance

foto by lisbeth kovacic
dear friends!

here a special invitation to the last chance you have of seeing my electro altar!

electroaltar

a peephole through which one can look at the intimacy of a worshiper, pictures and sounds coming from unknown sources appear to an observer in an atmosphere of confusion: surrealist religion, praise of consumerism, mourning for the garbage, dances with lights made in china ...

a garbage-installation/-performance

radios, cassettes, cables, records, computer, record player, old, destroyed, functional, waste, manure, evolution, progress, china, sound, catharsis. santisima electricidad!

Canto

Latin American Songs of Hope, Love and Revolution

"bésame" by Juan José Molina.

BAGUALAS
Atahualpa Yupanqui – Tradicional
Excerpt of CANTO (arranged by the musicians named below)
Sound poems based on the Canto General by Pablo Neruda

Lucia Pulido (Voice, Cuatro)

Angélica Castelló (Paetzold-flute, voice, electronics, idea, concept)

Christian Fennesz (Guitar, electronics)

Miguel Angel Gaspar (Physical Theater);

Martin Siewert (Lap- & Pedal Steel, guitar, electronics)

Burkhard Stangl (Guitar, electronics, concept)

Reading musical movements from the universe of Pablo Neruda’s poems, striking up the great song “CANTO GENERAL”, as the opus magnum of the Chilenian poet is called: with “Canto”, singer and electronic musician Angélica Castelló from Neruda’s country of exile Mexico, guitarists and electronic musicians Burkhard Stangl, Martin Siewert and Christian Fennesz from Austria, and the Colombian singer and cuatro player Lucia Pulido create a sound poem of broad electro-acoustic tracks and intimate sound passages. The group got together at the recording of two “cantos” for Gustav Deutsch’s recent work “FILM IST. a girl & a gun” and now draws back on the songs of love and lamentation of various Latin American musicians like Violeta Parra, Silvio Rodriguez, and Victor Jara, unfolds them to a transnational language of music which gathers political and poetic messages of the both cosmopolitan and home-loving writer Neruda. Again and again, movements emerging out of nowhere are reshaping the sounds. For Angélica Castelló, dance in “Canto” is “the soul of hope” expressing what can’t be said with either words or music. The musicians sing of the acts of creation, of natural wonders, myths, cruelties, and glimmers of hope from the verses by the Nobel Prize laureate and undaunted fighter against fascism. Love, revolution and the magic, which is ever-present in Latin America, define the flow of sound and word poems.
Canto is a “poème éléctronique for the Revolution.

BAGUALAS
Atahualpa Yupanqui – Tradicional

Unos ojos estoy viendo
Por esos ojos me muero
Soy libre, soy bueno y puedo querer

Me han dicho que tienen dueño
Por esos ojos me muero,
Soy libre, soy bueno y puedo querer

Quisiera cruzar el rio
Sin que me sienta la arena
Soy libre, soy bueno y puedo querer

Al Diablo ponerle grillos
Y al amor unas cadenas
Soy libre, soy bueno y puedo querer

Yo de ventana en ventana
Me voy durmiendo
Y, ay! Cuando llegue a la tuya
Se me va el sueño vidita
Agua y arena
Agua y arena

Häxan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Häxan (English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent horror film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen's study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films.
With Christensen's meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish kronor.[1] Although it won acclaim in Denmark and Sweden, the film was banned in the United States and heavily censored in other countries for what were considered at that time graphic depictions of torture, nudity, and sexual perversion.
