SINK (Pori, Finland)
“the perfect soundtrack for a night in the woods during the finnish winter… or just try to imagine the blackest Sunno)) «disarmed» of heavy guitars, jamming with Pan Sonic in these dark woods too…”

SINK comes from Pori, Finland, and they released during last 2008 one of the most interesting and innovative albums about drone-dark-ambient music experimenting with dark atmospheric drones, minimal electronics and certain black metal vibes. sink are, with other finnish great band like the north sludge myth Fleshpress (those have co-released the album in their own label), one of the most interesting acts coming from scandinavia about dark and experimental sounds.

Film: THE FUTURE IS NOT WHAT IS USE TO BE
- A Documentary Film on Erkki Kurenniemi,
2004, 52 minutes,
Regi: Mika Taanila

The Finnish artist, inventor, and futurist Erkki Kurenniemi (b. 1941) is one of the most fascinating figures you’ve never heard of. He came of age in the 1960s, and his various projects reflect the heady techno-utopian aspirations of such thinkers as Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller.
Kurenniemi’s speculations on computer technology and artificial intelligence were well ahead of his time, but he didn’t content himself with merely thinking about the future. He helped pioneer the fledgling genre of “electronic art,” creating experimental works for video and electronic music. In the early 1960s, Kurenniemi founded an electronic music studio at the University of Helsinki, and beginning in the 1970s he invented a series of electronic instruments called DIMI (digital musical instrument), which generated musical sounds from sources such as video images, human touch, and brain waves.
For many years now Kurenniemi has been methodically documenting his daily life through notes and photographs, on the theory that future developments in computing will make possible the artificial reconstruction of consciousness on the basis of such collected memory. This hour-long documentary by Mika Taanila presents a captivating view into the mind and work of Erkki Kuenniemi, in whose future we all now live.

“Viewed from a historical perspective, Kurenniemi’s music foretold digital directions in rhythm, noise and jumpcut editing, only back then no one was listening.”—The Wire

“Recommended! deftly intersperses clips of Kurenniemi’s early innovative films with more recent footage of the artist obsessively collecting video, audio, and found objects - artifacts of a stream-of-consciousness digital diary. To this intriguing mix is added a sound track which includes Kurenniemi’s groundbreaking synthesized music. The resulting controlled chaos seems perfectly evocative of the life and work of this idiosyncratic artist who dwells in the constantly shifting nexus of man and machine.”—Educational Media Reviews Online

“[Mika Taanila’s] most ambitious film…balanced between biography and essay film…a remarkable ensemble of audio-visual elements.”—Frame News

“Gives us a precious glimpse into a lost era of idealistic thought and innovation.”—The Guardian

“A highly intellectual film…engrossing…Fascinating!”—The Miami Herald

mer info:

CAM DEAS (UK)
English 12-string acoustic guitarist Cam Deas explores the rich space between contemporary composition and free improvisation. His sonic exploration through a variety of extended techniques can be reminiscent of Derek Bailey, but Deas constructs his pieces in a formulated fashion, shifting between expansive sections of great sensitivity, through melodic climaxes, to stabbing atonal onslaughts. His most recent record ‘Quadtych’ (on Present Time Exercises) combines all three approaches in a mammoth 70-minute work. He has released over a dozen albums on labels including Blackest Rainbow, Great Pop Supplement, and Dead Pilot. Deas has extensively toured across Europe, resulting in collaborations with Chie Mukai, Steffen Basho-Junghans, and Paul LaBrecque (Sunburned Hand of the Man), among others.

‘His command of sustained silence and sudden tone violence would situate this major outing somewhere between the aforementioned string-thinkers and the high-wire improvised actions of the Masayoshi Urabe/Chie Mukai axis, making this a major UK guitar statement.’ David Keenan

‘focusing on a far more spare, pointillist music utilizing the guitar as a resonant, sculptural wooden frame inasmuch as an extension of the physical / musical though process… to my ears this really does sound like a quantum step forward after a decade of straight fahey acolytion’ Keith Fullerton Whitman

JACK ALLETT (UK)

Jack Allett is a 26 year old Londoner who writes and performs primarily for acoustic guitar and electronics. His solo work takes the right hand of Takoma school guitarists (John Fahey, Robbie Basho…) as a starting point for compositions that encompass modal fantasias, english folk song adaptations, minimalism, elements of neo-classicism and plenty besides. In a single piece, open-string psychedelic reverie can meet endlessly repeated polymetric figures, and lurch suddenly into wild harmonic excursions by way of blues stomp. Solo, and as member of tape loop/sound poetry duo Towering Breaker, he has released records on Blackest Rainbow, Chocolate Monk, Great Pop Supplement, Psykick Dancehall and many others. New LP/CD ‘The Collapsing Middle’ was released in May 2011 on Blackest Rainbow.

‘a stirring display of fluid finger picking and swirling, psyched-out space noises flowing and sweeping against each other in a distinctly individual style…a stretch of sustained, silvery drone and re-emerging to a more propulsive, cantering folk mode. Unusual and unique.’ Boomkat

‘there is a mysticism, an almost Japanese tinge to the sound mix that recalls Shinji Masuko and the aforementioned Kawabata Makoto. The loosely palindromic piece swirls in ever-thickening layers towards an apex that excites with an intricate repetition…This is a truly evocative and enchanting record.’ Foxy Digitalis

DECASIA av Bill Morrison, 2002, 67 min
Decasia, a meditation on the human quest to transcend physicality, is an artful collage of found archival footage, all of it shot pre-1950 on a cellulose nitrate base and most of it in advanced stages of decay. The footage is slowed to allow a greater appreciation of the effect and character of the visual damage to the original materials, which include everything from fragments of silent melodramas to ethnographic studies, travelogues, newsreel footage and wildlife documentaries.

“One of the top ten movies of 2003″ - J. Hoberman, Village Voice

“Founded on the tension between the hard fact of film’s stained, eroded, unstable surface and the fragile nature of that which was once photographically represented, Decasia is an avant-garde movie with universal appeal, as well as an apocalyptic subtext unavoidably tied to the catastrophe of 9-11.” - J. Hoberman, Village Voice
