“You people will never be safe. Remove your governments - they don’t care about you. You think David Cameron is gonna get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? Do you think politicians are going to die? No, it's going to be the average guy, like you and your children. So get rid of them.”

CALABRIA, Southern Italy — a landscape of unmarked graves hidden by abandoned construction sites left as monuments to a corrupt state; a code of silence masking a culture of extreme cruelty; age-old folk traditions and occulted religious rites which refuse to acknowledge the passing of time; the secret brotherhoods; the holy bloodline and birthplace of the ‘Ndrangheta - part business, part religious order and part ancient military, now one of the most powerful organised crime groups in the world.

Broken Britain Cassettes inaugurates its World Service imprint with Pax Mafiosa, the first dispatch from La Santa, a native Calabrese, who delivers a concoction of ceremonial death chants, phone tappings and initiation rituals. Based around collaged samples from an inherited record collection, Pax Mafiosa invokes visceral fear and spiritual ecstasy with biting electronics and harrowing field recordings.

In Calabria the sacred and the profane are not mutually exclusive. The name ‘La Santa’ refers to both the Virgin Mary and the highest, most secretive level of The ‘Ndrangheta, a secret society within a secret society which links the top bosses with freemasons and extremist terror organisations. Pax Mafiosa is a sonic mapping of this dysfunctional marriage of mafia and religion.

“Giuro di portare sempre con me questa boccetta di veleno e, se per disgrazia dovessi tradire questi nuovi fratelli di Santa, di avvelenarmi con le mie stesse mani.”

Broken Britain Cassettes present Tape 313, two new works by musician, broadcaster and sound artist Orlando Harrison. Reworkings of long thought lost audio tapes obtained on the premises of Senate House*, Tape 313 interrogates two dissident voices, uncovering hidden meaning and deciphering coded messages.

	Stammheim Prison, 1975 — Gudrun Ensslin outlines the political position of the Red Army Faction, eighteen months before her alleged suicide, her voice a ghost in the machinery of the german state. The perpetual revolution of helicopter rotors over the prison house echo the grinding of the wheels of justice below, and the relentless rotation of the swastika at its heart.

	Trafalgar Square, 1956 — Nye Bevan delivers a speech attacking Sir Antony Eden’s Conservative government following the seizure of the Suez Canal. Twenty thousand people hear Bevan speak, after which a crowd marches on Downing street. Harrison’s deconstructions transform Bevan’s words into air-borne weapons, soaring over the equestrian bronzes of Nelson’s Column, drowning out the death rattle of the British Empire.

	Thought criminal Orlando Harrison is currently serving a life sentence with the Alabama 3. His past collaborators include Stephen Thrower of Coil, Red Crayola, the Amal Gamal Ensemble, Dr Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horses, Guapo, and The Daughters of God. He produces and presents the The Wrong Show on Resonance 104.4 FM, and once starred in an advert for Fruit Pastilles.

*Senate House, London — former headquarters of the Ministry of Information, wellspring of British wartime propaganda, model for Orwell’s Ministry of Truth and Greene’s Ministry of Fear, earmarked by Hitler to become Nazi Headquarters after WWII.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — a haunted city. The dead look out from the bullet holes which scar the public squares and back streets, presided over by the monumental ruin of the Holiday Inn, overlooking the city from its sea front cathedra.

	Broken Britain Cassettes advances its World Service campaign eastward with an anatopic release from  Frenchman Couronne de Merde, who became preoccupied by the Lebanese Civil War after repeated visits to Beirut. Recorded over a week in Paris, these tracks are an exorcism of the ghosts who followed him back. 

	Spectral voices lurk behind the shell-shocked synths and an urgent battery of percussion. Proceedings move forward and backwards in time - at once observing the event and recalling it afterward. Disparate scenes and incidents are conflated in a trans-historical bloodbath, underscored by a sorrowful ambience which longs for meaning in Sacrifice.

	Couronne de Merde casts an unflinching gaze at theocratic and political contradictions. ﺍﺗﻤﻨﻰ ﻟﻮ ﺍﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺎﺡ ﺗﺠﻠﻲ ﺍﻟﺮﻣﺎﺩ is a poetic documentation and dramatisation of a modern conflict, this late iteration of ancient struggles between Religion and Secularity, Christianity and Islam, Dominance and Freedom.

بيروت ، لبنان - مدينة مسكونة. القتلى ينظرون من خلال ثقوب الرصاص التي تندب الساحات العامة والشوارع الخلفية ، ويترأسها الخراب الضخم لفندق هوليداي إن ، ويطل على المدينة من كاتدرائية البحر المواجهة ...

تقدم Broken Britain Cassettes حملتها للخدمة العالمية شرقاً بإطلاق سراح تشريحي من الفرنسية Couronne de Merde ، التي انشغلت بالحرب الأهلية اللبنانية بعد زيارات متكررة إلى بيروت. مسجلة على مدى أسبوع في باريس ، هذه المسارات هي طرد الأرواح من الأشباح الذين تبعوه.

تكمن الأصوات الطيفية خلف موالفة الصدمات الصدمية وبطارية قرع ملحة. تتحرك الإجراءات إلى الأمام وإلى الوراء في الوقت المناسب - في وقت واحد لمراقبة الحدث واستدعاؤه بعد ذلك. يتم خلط المشاهد والحوادث المتباينة في حمام دم عبر التاريخ ، تؤكده أجواء حزينة تتوق إلى المعنى في التضحية.


تلقي Couronne de Merde  نظرة لا تتزعزع على التناقضات الدينية والسياسية. إنﺗﻤﻨﻰ ﻟﻮ ﺍﻥ ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺎﺡ ﺗﺠﻠﻲ ﺍﻟﺮﻣﺎﺩ هو توثيق شعري ودرامية لصراع حديث ، هذا التكرار المتأخر للصراعات القديمة بين الدين والعلمانية والمسيحية والإسلام والهيمنة والحرية.

يا ليت الرياح تجلي رماد الماضي
