Thomas Belhom - Heaven (from Cheval Oblique, LP)

MAGICAL WORLD (2003) documents a group of children from Zagreb, Croatia performing this pop masterpiece, originally written for the Chicago vocal group "The Rotary Connection" in 1968. "Why do you wake me up / From such a beautiful dream / Can't you see that I am sleeping / So why / don't you leave me alone /... / I live in a magical world."

Johanna Billing - I' m Lost Without Your Rhytm (Original Soundtrack)

Essential mix of B-Side Tracks to Johanna Billing "I'm Lost Without Your Rhythm."  

"Working mainly with video and group performances, Johanna Billing (1973, lives and works in Stockholm) is known for her investigationsinto unique collaborations and unscripted, spontaneous, collective experience. Hovering between staged fiction and documentary footage, her films are a record of untrained performers participating in artificial situations set up by the artist, left to unwind according to their own terms."

"Centered around "My Heart," a composition by Swedish drum and voice duo "Wildbirds & Peacedrums," Billing's newest project presents a class of amateur dance students in Iasi, Romania, rehearsing during the Periferic 8 Biennial of Contemporary Art in Oct 2008. The film and soundtrack link several days of activity inspired by the works of Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer - a continuous process, one in which the dancers are watched by an audience, free to come and go as they please - resulting in no final performance as such. The work is a result of collaboration between choreographer, musicians, dancers and audience.
