For his lecture “Foucault and Marx: A Disjunctive Synthesis?”, Étienne Balibar discusses connections and disjunctions between Michel Foucault and Karl Marx, using Foucault’s 1972 Collège de France lectures on La société punitive as an alternative lens for the question of “reproduction” and its relationship to class struggles. With Foucault and Marx as a starting point for a new confrontation, he also reconsiders the idea of “communism” today. Response by Judith Butler, Professor of Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley.

Neoliberalism + Biopolitics | Foucault and Marx: A Disjunctive Synthesis | Etienne Balibar | 12/9/14

Eddie Ruscha (aka E Ruscha V, aka Secret Circuit) brings us 1 hour of original counter intelligence via his guise of The Only Thingz.

Using electronic synthesis as a basis for sound manipulation, The Only Thingz attempts a piercing of the membrane, be it water or yoke, in an imaginative sense, as of the creation of polliwog. 

A journey of searching and discovery.... A field guide composition of a possible life creation theory... A primordial map in linear sonic formulae.

Available now for pre-order via the Bandcamp store. Tapes will be posted out late February 2018...be quick!

GMT07 - Only Thingz (Ed Ruscha V) (snippets)

Premiere of the title track You, Only to be released on the Vaagner Summer Batch, July 1st 2019.

You, Only is a beguiling insight into the world of Turkish musician Ekin Üzeltüzenci and her debut release on Vaknar. 
The album features a series of musical tapestries which prominently include live instrumentation in tandem with Ekin’s own voice, all of which has been fed through a series of tape delays, giving the final outcome a brittle and reflective tone.

Track List:

A1 Ekin Fil - Hope
A2 Ekin Fil - Other, Others
A3 Ekin Fil - You, Only
A4 Ekin Fil - Arise
B1 Ekin Fil - Scar
B2 Ekin Fil - Incident Light

About Ekin Fil:

After a stint of initial tape only albums which included the aforementioned 'Heavy', Ekin Fil went on the produce 4 albums for the Helen Scarsdale Agency. She was awarded "Best Original Film Music" for her first Soundtrack "Kaygi" at SIYAD, 2017 and "Best Film Music" for the Soundtrack of "Korfez - The Gulf" at Türkisches Film Festival in Frankfurt, 2018.
This year she released an LP of separate songs titled KOMA on the Stockholm based imprint Possible Motive.

Live recording from Keiji Haino his concert at les ateliers claus on 7th October 2019 - Brussels, Belgium

We all know Keiji Haino as a legendary musician and it's always a special experience to host him. The day prior to his concert at les ateliers claus, he came to Brussels and expressed his wish to do some record shopping. And so we did - in between soundcheck and the actual concert. Keiji Haino likes to hear unique sounds and performers and so we went on a search. In a certain store in Brussels I made him listen to one of my favourite albums by Igor Wakhevitch (Hator) - he listened and promised me half-jokingly his performance at les ateliers claus would be better.
