Since April 28, 2021, Colombians have been on a national strike for many reasons: inequality, poverty, historical exclusion, and the disregard of a peace agreement that allegedly was signed to end more than fifty years of armed conflict. For more than a month, people on the streets all over the country have been creating new spaces for resistance and collective organization.

David Jackman - 石碑老鳥 (excerpt)

To understand Bruce Falkian we first must understand the link between image and war. In the late 1800s the precursor to the video camera was invented. It was directly inspired by guns, specifically, Samuel Colt’s Revolver. It borrowed not only its barrel mechanics, swapping bullets for exposures, but its terminology too. Load, point, scope, aim, shoot, flash. The camera and the gun, united by cordite, would go on to prove the most efficacious tools in shaping the modern world.

The 20th century was a laboratory when it comes to killing and image making, glorified through Hollywood and the Western genre. Propaganda would prove highly effective in creating and sustaining support for militaries fighting for ideological global control. Devised first in the aptly title ‘Propaganda’ (1928) by Edward Bernays, a nephew of Sigmund Freud, Advertising and Public Relations became the leading media industries, learning how to control the population through images, usually just to buy random crap they didn’t need, but other times to overthrow democratically elected politicians in foreign countries. Eventually Western Liberal Democracy assumed domination, built of course on the enslavement of all peoples and nations who didn’t fall in line with its specific ideas of living. The Red Scare inspired countless anti-leftist, anti-communist works of art throughout the Cold War, notably and most bizarre, funding the abstract expressionist movement as a non-ideological alternative to socialist realism art. When the Soviet Union fell, Western Liberal Democracy was able to promulgate its unhindered views around the world through its various media empires and actor states. Is it a coincidence that a third of the almost $85 billion dollar global camera equipment market is represented by the greatest propaganda beast the world as ever seen, the USA?

Occursus w U-R-S, Stéphanie Lotion
and Agustin Spinetto
We embark on a musical epiphany unlike any other, delving into the depths of sonic enlightenment through the lens of U-R-S (an aural delirium by Dana Elfenbaum), where the boundaries of music and the philosophy of wild encounters merge into an electrifying exploration.

But what is this Occursus, you might wonder? It’s the meeting point where the unpredictable converges with the familiar, where musical encounters break free from the conventional. It’s the moment of wild convergence, and today, joining U-R-S on her radical expedition are Stéphanie Lotion : June Loper & Clara Muel. June is an enigmatic sound artist with an innate curiosity and a knack for turning chaos into symphony, and Clara, a visual artist who spends her time playing with both sound and raw materials when she’s not head deep lost into Youtube’s weirdest territories.
Also with us is Agustin Spinetto, whos sonic narratives blur the lines between the organic and the synthesized, inviting you to explore the depths of sound in its purest and most abstract forms.

Another Theme for A Dislocating City w/ Georges Dj Huberman (16/04/24)

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.
