Four Years In 30 Seconds: A Collection Of Music From Around The World
Everyone wants a bit of care and attention so with this in mind the folks over at Dirter (they release Merzbow records dontcha know) put together a compilation with a genuine concept, a concpilation if you will. The idea was simple - a bunch of 30-50 second tracks from a number of artists they really love spanning four years of musical production, and then once it finishes, the entire album is repeated backwards. Well okay there's a good chance that whoever came up with this was either drunk or stoned, but however the insanity was pieced together I'm very glad it was as a more fractured collection of oddness you're not likely to find. We've got Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Merzbow, Faust, Nurse With Wound, Beequeen, Illusion of Safety and a whole bunch of other people you've likely not heardFILM:
Fallen Art (2004)
Director:Tomek Baginski
Fallen Art (Polish Sztuka spadania) is the name of a 6-minute, animated short film written and directed by Tomasz Bagiński. It features Romanian band Fanfare Ciocarlia's song "Asfalt Tango." The film was produced and created by Platige Image, a VFX company. In 2006 it received the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award
Fallen Art presents the story of General A, a self-proclaimed artist. His art, however, consists of a deranged method of stop motion photography, where the individual frames of the movie are created by photographs made by Dr. Johann Friedrich, depicting the bodies of dead soldiers, pushed down by Sergeant Al from a giant springboard onto a slab of concrete.
