The artist must bleed
	by Carlos Garcia [soundcloud.com/qpdb]

"Painting is an art and art is the useless creation of things that disappear into the void, but it is a force which has a purpose and must serve to the development and sophistication of the soul."
Vassily Kandinsky

We have in our hands one of the most important crises in artistic content in Human History. Artistic crises have always manifested and re-manifested themselves along the years, almost all of them based on the over-saturation of an "old way of thinking", copy and re-copy, but I believe that there is one aspect about our time which is fundamentally different from all other artistic crises Humanity has faced: excessive noise. The ease of use of various electronic tools for creating audiovisual artistic content has joined with the absolute lack of substance of the fast paced egocentric and immediate new generations. Everything looks like a copy of something else. It seems that nothing of relevance, no piece completely new and shocking, is ever going to be created again. You know that kind of piece, don't you? It made you cry and be afraid, it put your heart racing because it pushed, sometimes violently, the boundaries of your intellect. It showed you a completely new way of thinking and feeling, but, most important than that, it made you feel that it (the piece) was just one exemplary application,  one tiny manifestation of something unlimitedly more vast. More or less like the tension between theory and practice. The first (what i would like to call 'the artistic concept') is generally vast and comprehensive, making it difficult for someone to contain using limited speech or ideas. It deals with basic feelings and thought; it is not only an approximation of an experience of reality but could (and sometimes should) be seen as "reality itself". It is intrinsically related to the artist and his/her personal, individual and unprecedented experience of reality. It could also be called 'the Artist's point of view' but I'll prefer calling it 'artistic concept'. The second is a temporal-spatial manifestation (the work of art). It has its boundaries, it shows why it exists and what kind of discreet 'problems' it tries to 'solve', but it can be seen as a WINDOW TO THE INFINITE. In fact, it would be better expressed as a window to a window to the infinite.

It is impressive how western society in general has the tendency of giving much more importance to pieces of art than to the minds that created the concepts that created the pieces of art. The study of a work of art should include the deep study of the artist's own personal life. The moments he / she lived had necessarily great impact on the artistic direction that was taken, as art can only be made by a living person, with a whole life happening in parallel, but it is in the apparent ability of transcending personal worries and feelings and so creating something that 'resounds' into a great number of individuals that an artist becomes relevant. Art, as it should be noted from the very beginning of its study, is MADE of paradoxes. The moments the artist lived when creating a piece, his way of thinking and the real, deep motivations he had are greatly important, but only by including all of humanity into his own personal vision can he, as an artist and his art, be TRUE.

When the common person contacts what i would consider to be a true work of art (taking the idea from the last paragraph as the defining condition), if the perception of the viewer is open for 'the new'... then communication in a wordless environment happens. We can always find words to describe this contact, but whatever words we use will always lack something, some real aspect of the experience, some aspect that transcends the meaning (even the possible symbolic ones) of the word. The fact that the piece is communicating something beyond the letter is of the biggest relevance. 

How free an artist is to create! And how free we all are to experience it!

The artist can choose the subject of the "conversation", how deeply he intends to approach and interpret it, give you his opinions / stories / analisys / parallel concepts / rationalization, etc. about it in one single   work of art. About ANY subject. That's truly beautiful isn't it? Works generally have several ways to be analyzed: technically, philosophically, historically, socially, but, the most important level in which they should, they must, ALWAYS be experienced, is THE DEEP, INDIVIDUAL LEVEL.

What kind of dreams or nightmares would a work of art suggest to your mind (conscious and subconscious)? How would this experience be useful to you in finding better ways to relate to everything and everyone around you? How would you see, portrayed in how you sense the artist thinks, an individual example of where someone can get if keeps this or that attitude? Would you learn with it? Would you apprehend something through what i could call 'the artistic sincerity'? When you KNOW that you are seeing a very deep and TRUE aspect of someone who is experiencing the very same reality as you! It's undoubtedly personal and peculiar, this 'vision'. But it's about reality and everyone should be interested in what reality is.

 
The work of art is a "window" to the much vaster vision / perception of Reality that the 'spiritually human' being called 'artist' has, which then is, metaphorically, a 'window' to understanding Reality Itself. No single work of art or artist can be a complete 'window' in itself, but by looking through enough 'windows' (and here i'm talking more about quality then quantity) we, as each and every person we all are, can have a continuously, eternally richer experience of Reality.

Thus i arrive to a very important point. The biggest responsibility of every true artist: sincerity. How can anyone give a true impression about life in general if doesn't talk honestly and deeply about his/her own life and experiences? His/her OWN, personal, unprecedented vision of life, perception of own existence.

I hope to have made myself clear here. What i mean is: if you don't want to say or admit what you know to be TRUE about yourself, then probably it will be very difficult for you to create something artistically important, because it will probably lack the most basic aspect of a relevant piece of art: ORIGINALITY.

Getting to the beginning point of this small manifest, we can see that lack of originality is a very apparent aspect of today's artistic production. It seems that everything that could ever be created already has been. But this is NOT true, simply because, i believe, you are a truly individual, never preceded, non copyable original person in the unlimitedly vast depths of your own Self.

THEN, ORIGINALITY IS NOT THE PROBLEM. TRUTHFULNESS IS.

By being true and honest to yourself first and then to everyone else, you can find ways to carry your life on which are honored and clean, you will work hard to provide to yourself and whoever depends on you, but you'll live a true life. 

Love as much as you can and do what you LOVE. Truly.

Your blood is yours. It comes from your individual, non copyable body even being this fact the same for everyone. Bleed your art just as you bleed your own life, minute by minute, drop by drop. Sometimes it means to embarrass, endanger or even almost disintegrate yourself, sometimes you are ashamed or sick of what you HAVE to talk about. But by being truthful you will find continuity. You will make the short time you have on this planet count for eternity!

We all bleed anyway.

Unstoppable techno force !Organism has time to put out one more excellent EP this year, and it comes from TKNO and Belgrade’s Sugar Lobby with a fine remix from Krenzlin. 

Sugar Lobby is a talented female techno maker who has been a key player in the underground scene in Belgrade and across Europe. She has a decade’s worth of experience of travelling to top clubs and festivals and her sound has plenty in common with labels like CLR, Ostgut and Token. Here she hooks up with vinyl collector and label boss TKNO who has picked up props from Riche Hawtin, has released on Tauten and Yin Yang and who has a dark and absorbing sound. 

Their first effort ‘Circle X’ is a thrilling one indeed. With vast rubbery kicks rolling down below, you are immediately swept up. Sweeping pads, explosive claps and juddery percussive hits all add to the forceful sense of motion whilst a hypnotic synth line grows in stature to become the of focus of the track and thoroughly locks you in. 

The equally brilliant ‘Circle XX’ is more heady and stripped back, with a cavernous techno chamber run through with sci-fi sounds, alien textures and icy percussion that all seep into and then frazzle your brain in fantastic fashion. 

Germany’s Krenzlin, another esteemed techno talent, then remixes ‘Circle XX’ into a more energetic, textured and big room techno cut with stomping kicks, oversized and serrated synths and a great sense of urgency. 

Once again here !Organism serve up some irresistible main room techno from some of Europe’s finest.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere two tracks from Angel Attack’s upcoming release, Dance dance otherwise we are lost. The EP also launches the new label House of Reptile. Hailing from Peckham - London, the independent label seeks to unearth and introduce new artists to each other, instigate true collaboration, sharpen the artistic instinct and ultimately expand their vision to all four corners of the Earth. The first year will will see 4 EPs focused on the collaboration between London and European friends with the rising talents in South America.

Dance dance… gets the label off to a strong start with 5 diverse yet nicely linked tracks which range from the hard hitting peak time techno of “TransTanzTheater” to London multi-faceted artist Polanski’s sultry, hypnotic “Is This Happiness?” remix of “Orbits of Happiness”. Filmmaker, one of Colombia’s most exciting names, also lends his production prowess on his mind-bending “The Quandry Remix” of “Incessant Maze”.

Today we are thrilled to these two powerful works which give us a very satisfying taste of what’s to come on House of Reptile. Out on cassette, vinyl and digital later this summer. More at: www.thebrvtalist.com/angelattackhouseofreptile/

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Lulu. The emerging Parisian artist is inspired by old school rave sounds and more singular styles such as rap, dubstep and and rock. He now brings us, Interversion (KTK Records), a 3 track EP where his influences can be easily discerned. 'Wake Up It's Your Time' incorporates groovy but ghetto vocals, while the next two tracks bring us back to the roots of the rave sound. The EP is completed by a legendary remix by the timeless icon Mark EG, who became famous beyond the borders of Britain with his interest in so many different styles of electronic music. Lulu’s amalgamation of sounds quickly caught our attention and Interversion takes different genres outside the box to combine for a fresh and exciting release. www.thebrvtalist.com/luluwakeupitsyourtime/

Working together as Shaw & Grossfeldt, the duo have taken a decidedly cerebral approach to their debut release, building what’s ostensibly a leftfield dub-techno record around the sonic manipulation and decontextualisation of a single instrument, the Yamaha Disklavier.
