#DzigaVertov dokumentiert in „Der Mann mit der Kamera“ den Tagesablauf einer großen sowjetischen Stadt und legt seinen Film als wegweisendes Experiment an: Er verzichtet auf narrative (literarische) und inszenierend-gestaltende (theatralische) Elemente und setzt allein auf die Wirkung der Montage. Das Ergebnis ist ein filmisches Manifest, von dessen avantgardistischen Wagemut das Kino als Kunstform bis heute zehrt. #Dokumentarfilm #documentary #Avantgarde #Stummfilm #SilentMovie ********************************************** Um das Herz seiner Angebeteten Sally zu erobern, heuert der Straßenfotograf Luke Shannon als Kameramann bei der #MGM-Wochenschau an, liefert jedoch zu Beginn nur katastrophale Ergebnisse. Erst nachdem er Sally vor dem Ertrinken gerettet hat, gelingt Luke schließlich sowohl privat als auch beruflich der Durchbruch. #BusterKeaton's Slapstick-Meisterwerk „Der Kameramann“ ist eine köstliche Parodie auf die Arbeitsweise in der Traumfabrik. #Stummfilm #SilentMovie (2/2)

JAMES WHITE AND THE BLACKS Off-White 1979 Canada pressing Another great one from the “#nowave ” pile from yesterday, one of a handful of James Chance-related records. This takes the music made with The Contortions and reframes it through groovy dance music. It’s still weird (because everything Chance did had a bit of weirdness to it), just a little more disco. 😂 Punks and art-punks at the time had a universal disdain and hostility for dance music. Here, Chance gave them something they could get behind. Angular guitars, #avantgarde #jazz rhythms, all mixed over very danceable and hypnotic drums. It was a very divisive album when it came out, but it’s now recognized as an underground cult classic. It’s been great to hear all these Chance-related albums again these last few days. They just don’t pop up in my neck of the woods that often. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #art #music #punk

CONTORTIONS Buy 1979 U.S. pressing One of the 4 artists that appear on the previously posted No New York compilation, & one of a FEW James Chance-adjacent albums I picked up today. Chance was a flamboyant saxophonist who was a very integral part of that late #70s /early #80s #nowave /#artrock scene in New York. He and The Contortions played a very #avantgarde kind of punky #funk music, with flourishes of #jazz as well. Buy was the original band’s ONLY record, coming a year AFTER that No New York compilation. Shortly after that, Chance became the star, and proceeded to have many different bands and projects over the years, including a “not at all the same” James Chance And The Contortions, which was just Chance and a bunch of other randoms. None of the post-Buy “Contortions” albums ever did much for me. THIS album is friggin great, though. Time and place, man. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music

CHEER-ACCIDENT Sever Roots Tree Dies 1988 U.S. pressing A super-cool find at the end of a loooong-ass day. I had no idea what this was. Just bought it on a whim after about 2 seconds of research. What a wonderfully weird #80s album. I’ll try my best to explain this… An #experimental trio that mixes #prog rock, #postpunk , #avantgarde improvisation, occasional #artpop , and CRAZY ass dynamics that duck and weave in and out of soft/quiet & roundhouses to the head. Think latter-day King Crimson having a baby with the punkest, weirdest girl from your graduating class. This is an exciting record, and I can tell I’m going to have to listen to it several times to have it reveal itself to me in full. Just a killer record, and a very pleasant surprise. Now I have something to obsess over these next few weeks. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #punk #artrock #1980s #80sMusic

Sweet, new album coming in October from Catalan experimental/avant-garde composer Marina Herlop! Marina describes it as "a violent celebration of life" structured as a single coherent piece, and today released the middle track as the first single. I had added her 2022 album Pripyat to the 1001OA list, methinks I should do that spotlight soon... Marina Herlop - "Jacque" from upcoming album Dja Dja (2026) https://marinaherlop.bandcamp.com/album/dja-dja#MarinaHerlop #experimental #avantgarde

Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with Three Dances & Four Organs by John Cage / Steve Reich / Michael Tilson Thomas / Ralph Grierson, released on Angel Records in 1973. Review by Brian Olewnick The first side is devoted to John Cage's extraordinary Three Dances for two amplified, prepared pianos, certainly one of his most accessible works and arguably one of his most sensuously beautiful...Steve Reich's Four Organs has one simple but deep idea. Take a dense electric organ chord and then, with extreme patience and slowness, gradually lengthen each note that makes up the chord so that one journeys from the rigorous exactitude of the opening statement (with regular rhythmic accompaniment by maracas) to a languorous sonic cloud where each of the constituent elements has been freed to waft away on its own... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJlTVv_noSc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li7m6HqNhq4 #JohnCage #SteveReich #AvantGarde #Minimalism #Music #MichaelTilsonThomas #RalphGrieson #PreparedPiano

Witch 'n' Monk by Witch 'n' Monk, released on Tzadik in 2020. John Lewis wrote for the Guardian: Witch ‘n’ Monk are a theatrical Anglo-Colombian duet featuring two very different musicians. Mauricio Velasierra plays a variety of flutes, while Heidi Heidelberg is a classically trained soprano singer who plays spiky prog-punk riffs on guitar while using looper pedals.. This self-titled LP, recorded in rural Wales and in a former Stasi bunker in Berlin, is their first for John Zorn’s Tzadik label, and you can see what attracted a sonic anarchist such as Zorn to their music. They talk of “abandoning the egoistic 20th-century idea of the lone, male composer writing his opus” by recording stream-of-consciousness music: hours of sleep-deprived, endlessly mutating improvisations are sliced up and used as the basis for these slightly manic musical collages... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/15/witch-n-monk-witch-n-monk-review https://witchnmonk.bandcamp.com/album/witch-n-monk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8TbO5Bz8y0&list=RDf8TbO5Bz8y0&start_radio=1 #WitchnMonk #Music #Tzadik #AvantGarde
