IC Lo-Fi Zine Hollywood has been a major obstacle to the definition and development of motion pictures as a creative fine-art form. I make my pictures for what Hollywood spends on lipstick (Maya Deren, 1940) Well the Imperfect Cinema juggernaut has been almost unstoppable since last we met! Not only have we presented a paper in a conference, had an article published in one+one filmmakers journal (http://www.filmmakersjournal.co.uk) and undertaken our first all-ages event (IC On Location), but April also sees the launch of The Imperfect Cine Club and also our first Imperfect foray into foreign climes, as we hold our first Imperfect Cinema event in New York City, USA! I think its safe to say that we haven’t had much time to call our own recently, but hey, it’s all in the cause of DIY Punk Rock Cinema right! We are also absolutely delighted to welcome our special guest for Imperfect Cinema’s Lo-Fi, issue, sonic artist extraordinaire Nicholas Bullen! Huzzah! The Lo-Fi Issue! Flowers in The Dustbin Welcome friends to The Imperfect Cinema Lo-Fi Issue! So, you might be asking yourself, what exactly is the issue? Well, here at Imperfect Cinema Towers we believe that you don’t have to use the very latest in high-definition technology in order to create something of value, and in fact we would argue that low-fidelity technologies actually offer film-makers new opportunities in practice and expression! One is not better than the other, just different, despite what imaging technology manufacturers would have you believe! The imaging technology industry is of course primarily driven by profit, and one should not underestimate the repercussions of this for film artists. Certain types of film-making practice are now severely under threat, particularly those which use analogue technologies, (which have largely been consigned to the industrial scrapheap in favour of their digital counterparts). Kodachrome, the worlds first modern colour film stock, finally bit the dust in December 2010, when the worlds last remaining Kodachrome Lab, (Dwayne’s Photo) ceased all processing of this iconic film stock. So what for all those films left in cameras? If you find a super-8 camera in a junk shop or car boot sale, chances are it will still have a partially exposed film cartridge in it. That cartridge will contain Kodachrome film stock. There is now absolutely no way of revealing its colour images, or for using this ubiquitous stock to create something new. Gone. Finito. Earlier last month Soho Film Lab ceased its production of 16mm prints, which means if you want a print of your 16mm film negative, you now have to go abroad! Renowned artist film-maker Tacita Dean argued that for art’s sake, digital & film should co-exist, but it would seem that, as always, the financial bottom line has the final word. All very well, I hear you say, but why go Lo-Fi? Well, it activates a different part your mind for starters! When watching Lo-Fi, audiences are more likely to talk about such things as atmospheres or feelings and in this respect one could easily argue that less can be more! Using lo-fi could also be viewed as a political act! So how many different types of television set have we been told represent the very latest in cutting edge tele-visual technology in only the last decade? 4:3 CRT, 16:9 CRT, LCD, Digital, Plasma, HD Ready, HD1080p, 3DTV? Where did the old TVs go? The imaging industry is reliant on planned obsolescence, meaning that the usage lifespan of technologies is now shorter than their operational lifespan! Hardly sustainable! So then, could a film made from obsolete technology (car boot sale cameras etc) offer comment on this unsustainable trend? We believe so! With Lo-Fi, the very act of making is itself a political act! Cool eh! So, my friends, we bring you The Lo-Fi Issue, where we challenge you to make, create, craft and construct using only Lo-Fi technologies! Shoot what you want, any style, genre, form, technique, but remember: 1) Keep it Lo-Fi 2) Napalm Death did it in less than 1 minute & so should you! 3) Tally Ho! Let’s Go! Imperfect Cinema Welcomes Nicholas Bullen! Nicholas is a founder member of Napalm Death, the band credited with creating the extreme musical genre of grindcore. He was the vocalist and main lyricist of the band throughout its formative stages, from its earliest roots in Anarchopunk through to the extreme thrash aural brutality the band are arguably best known for. Nicholas is responsible for the abstracted vocal delivery that is synonymous with the grindcore genre and also for instigating its extreme velocity, which far surpassed the benchmark set by such peers as Siege, Genocide & Asocial. After leaving the group he founded, Nicholas slowed things right down to almost glacial proportions with the malarial misanthropy of Make Them Die Slowly, before reuniting with former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris in the equally groundbreaking Scorn, a more experimental project that explored dark breakbeat-driven rhythmic mantras, the reflective spaces of Dub and dark drone-based ambience. Nicholas also worked with avant-garde techno group Germ, the experimental soundscape project Umbilical Limbo and released material under his own name including an album called Bass Terror with bassist and avant-garde producer Bill Laswell. Nicholas returned to live performing in 2003 with the experimental electronic group Black Galaxy. Black Galaxy utilise a range of instrumentation (including laptop, tone generators, circuit bent instruments, tabletop guitar, preparations, and amplified objects) to blend rhythmic pulses with deep bass tones and abstracted sound. They also create satellite work related to non-rhythmic sound fields, live improvised film soundtracking, and regular collaboration with electro-acoustic musicians kREEPA. The group have played at a number of festivals (including Sonar (Barcelona), Supersonic festival and the Sonic Arts Network Expo). He also participates in a number of other collaborative projects which are predominantly focused on live performance and improvisation (including the Photon Hex ensemble and electro-acoustic improvising trio Migrant), and performs solo (as Alienist and under his own name). We are delighted to welcome Nicholas to Imperfect Cinema, where he will join Dan Flipside for a live discussion of his work, and how key elements of it might be related to the Imperfect Cinema project, and to experimental & short-form film-making! Huzzah! IMPERFECT CINE CLUB!! ‘Focus on Super-8’ Join us for an introduction to the wonderful world of super-8 film! Dan Flipside will guide you through the history & contemporary use of this medium, covering stocks, cameras, processing special effects & more! Cameras will be provided too! Thursday 7th April 7-9pm Plymouth College of Art (Room 1.21) .

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Forever the Black Smoke Blows in Krems’ [Auto-Translated from German]
    Kramar, Thomas. ‘Forever the black smoke blows in Krems’ [Auto-translated from German]. Die Presse Online. 26 April 2018 Forever the black smoke blows in Krems In the nineties it was in vogue to state ends. Today one fears the "endless present": this is the motto of this year's Danube Festival. How postmodern is that? Or is it again - modern? The virtual source never runs dry: "Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas)", video by John Gerrard. – © Danube Festival It was an anticipated, much-anticipated eruption: on January 10, 1901, oil spewed from a well at Spindletop Hill (southeast Texas), yes: to splash. Two months later, the nearby town of Beaumont was a boomtown and its population tripled. The Irish artist John Gerrard recalls the time when oil spilled on Spindletop Hill. In his video installation "Western Flag (Spindletop, Texas)" he simulates that this source would never run dry, would never run out, but only bring more dirt, not juice for traffic and industry: black smoke is constantly pouring out of the jets, into shape a flag. Gerrard suggests a trivial interpretation. "Among the greatest legacies of the 20th century are not only the population explosion and the better living conditions, but also the significantly increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere," he writes: "This flag gives this invisible gas, this international danger, a picture, a way to represent oneself. " Heaven is where nothing happens Thomas Edlinger, Director of the Danube Festival, now places Gerrard's video installation in Krems in a new context of meaning - as an illustration of this year's theme: "Endless Presence".

  • Australian 'Dubmorph'
    Australian Dub Morphs Now Researched by : Alex Thomas & Roger Hanney Planned and prepared by : Alex Thomas & Roger Hanney " I don't think we can just point to the seventies and say "well they were being political so we are because we're using their kind of music". I think we have to become political ourselves, I think if we are writing music and we want to be revolutionary then we have to take a look at our own lives, we have to look at our own music and the way that we're actually writing and the way that we're living, not to the way that dub artists were living in the seventies. We're in a completely different paradigm now and I think that has to be referred to ." Kate Crawford ( B(if)tek ) "We're all working within a cultural context which includes what happened in the seventies and eighties. We don't have to be aware of that. All we have to be aware of is what we're doing right now and anyone working in that sort of cultural context will have all those same influences implicit in what they're doing and what they're listening to at the time." Bo Daley ( Dark Network ) "It's not about the music. It's about the community which is created by the music." Seb ( Sub Bass Snarl ) This paper is not a definitive history of the evolution of dub in Australia. This paper is not about Jamaican dub occurring in Australia. The focus of this paper is on the musics that have arisen in this country which could most accurately be described as dubmorphs.

    From the Mail Art network, We—’We’ being Jaye and me as one physical being, just to VESTED clarify*—We, as Genesis in those days, heard from an artist called Anna Banana. One day she wrote to me and we asked her about this mythical INTEREST fi gure we’d heard about called Monte Cazazza. She wrote back and said, ‘Monte Cazazza is a Genesis Breyer P-Orridge in conversation sick, dangerous, sociopathic individual. Why, with Mark Beasley once, Monte came to an art opening dressed like a woman in his long coat, carrying a briefcase and waving a Magnum revolver. In the briefcase was a dead cat and he locked the doors, held everybody in the art opening at gunpoint, took the cat out, poured lighter fl uid on it and set it on fi re. Oh, and the stench fi lled the room. He just started to laugh and then he left again. You don’t want to know this person!’ Wrong. (laughs) We did wantwant to know this person. Of course, once we heard how awful he was, we decided to correspond with Monte. We used to send each other the most grotesque and unpleasant things we could think of. One time, we sent him a big padded envelope and inside it were a pint of maggots and chicken legs and offal from the butcher, mixed up with pornography and so on. By the time it got to California to his P.O. Box, it stank! He was temporarily restrained by the security at the post offi ce.

Heavy-metal in the 1970s was Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC, Journey, Boston, Rush, and it was the most theatrical and brutal of rock genres. It was not easy to reconcile this genre with the anti-heroic ethos of the punk era. It could have seemed almost impossible to revive that genre, that was slowly dying, in an era that valued the exact opposite of machoism, and that was producing a louder and noisier genre, hardcore. Instead, heavy metal began its renaissance in the same years of the new wave, capitalizing on the same phenomenon of independent labels. Credit goes largely to a British contingent of bands, that realized how they could launch a "new wave of British heavy metal" during the new wave of rock music. Motorhead (1), formed by ex-Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, were the natural bridge between heavy metal, Stooges/MC5 and punk-rock. They played demonic, relentless rock'n'roll at supersonic speed: Iron Horse (1977), Metropolis (1979), Bomber (1979), Jailbait (1980), Iron Fist (1982), etc.

ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally.

  • Student Withdraws Complaint Fight Breaks out Between Theta CM, Job
    FRIDAY Freshman Brian Lundy PARTAN DAILY becomes Spartan's leading receiver. Page 6 V 0L 99, No. 50 Published for San Jose State University since 1934 November 6, 1992 Student My achy-breaky back withdraws vi complaint Student cites lack of time BY KERRY PETERS Spartan Daily Stall Writer A complaint against the Campus Democrats alleging verbal and physical threats has been dropped. Marcia Holstrom, the student who filed the letter of complaint, decided to drop her charges. "It's just not worth it:' Holstrom said. "I don't have the time, and I don't have the energy to fight it:' The complaint, addressed to Dan Buerger, execu- tive assistant to Interim President J. Handel Evans, was filed last week after Holstrom interrupted a Campus Democrats press conference on Oct. 22 at Tower Quad. Holstrom said she interrupted the con- ference because she objected to the group's use of the university seal which she thought might lead people to believe SJSU was endorsing Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton for president. When Holstrom came forward at the event, sever- al members of the group hosting the event verbally attacked her, Holstrom said, and threatened to "take care of her later:' prompting her to file the complaint. However, members of the Campus Democrats and other people who participated in the event PATTI EAGAN SPARTAN DAILY denied Holstrom's charges. Carol Sullivan, In her step training class, pushes her students to the limit every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in the Spartan Complex.
