a letter from The Wipers for the Kultur Kommandos
UP FRONT
It's got to be up front
Go to be so close to trust
It's got to be up front
Got to be so close to touch
Oh it's such a shame
You no longer feel the pain
I can't stick around
While you try to decide
So why just sit so plain
Your eyes show the strain
I can't stick around
While you try to decide
It's got to be up front
Go to be so close to trust
It's got to be up front
Got to be so close to touch
Oh it's such a shame
You no longer feel the pain
I can't stick around
While you try to decide
So why just sit so plain
Your eyes show the strain
I can't stick around
While you try to decide
Against the wall of sound with a gun to your head
the curators
the curators will play only one off shows
this means that each time that the curators appear they will appear as others:
those that are the curators will be different
the first section was composed of members/players/performers who have played with too many bands/groups to list them all here
the next time the curators show it will be with others
the curators are a completely open source dis-organization that function without programmed musical agendas
they do not rehearse
the do not know what they will play, when they play
they do not even know each other until they meet on stage
the first announcement of the curators should be kept in mind : expect nothing
more to follow
the curators will play only one off shows

THE CURATORS/song #7 : conversation with caul
Listen
Listen
My name is Harry Caul
Can you hear me?
Don’t be afraid
I know you don’t know who I am
But I know you
There isn’t much to say about myself………I
I
(Second voice: sick when I was a boy)
I was very sick when I was a boy
I was paralyzed, from my left arm to my left leg
I
I couldn’t walk for sixth months
One doctor said that I’d probably never walk again
My mother
My mother used to lower me into
Lower me
Into a
Hot bath used as therapy
One time the doorbell rang, she went down to answer
I started sliding down, in the water
I
I could feel the water
Covering my chin, my nose
An uh…
When I woke up
I
My body was all greasy from the holy oil she, she put on my body
I remember being disappointed I survived
When I was five
Uh…
I
My father introduced me to a friend of his and for no reason I hit him in the stomach with all my strength
He died a year later
I
(Second voice: He’ll kill you if he gets the chance)
I’m not afraid of death
I am afraid of murder

THE CURATORS/song # 1 : dream 76, mr.bones
Nothin very bad happen to me lately.
How you explain that? —I explain that, Mr Bones,
terms o' your bafflin odd sobriety.
Sober as man can get, no girls, no telephones,
what could happen bad to Mr Bones?
—If life is a handkerchief sandwich,
in a modesty of death I join my father
who dared so long agone leave me.
A bullet on a concrete stoop
close by a smothering southern sea
spreadeagled on an island, by my knee.
—You is from hunger, Mr Bones,
I offers you this handkerchief, now set
your left foot by my right foot,
shoulder to shoulder, all that jazz,
arm in arm, by the beautiful sea,
hum a little, Mr Bones.
—I saw nobody coming, so I went instead.

The Semiology of Cyndi Lauper
I come home in the morning light
My art dealer says when you gonna live your life right
Oh curator dear were not the fortunate ones
And beuys they want to have fun
Oh beuys just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
Dakis Ioannou yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh Daki dear you know youre still number one
But beuys they want to have fun
Oh beuys just want to have--
Thats all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Beuys-- they want to have fun
Oh beuys just want to have fun

The Parallax View (1)
unaware that all the while his every action has been observed by Number 2 and a disquieting bald-headed Supervisor on a giant screen in an impressive Control Room whose walls are covered with huge maps of the world, terrestrial and celestial. A small army of cameramen work in shifts to keep the Village and its surroundings including the inside of the houses under constant surveillance.

Έλυτρα επιθυμούν εκούσιες εννοιολογικές ενστάσεις. Εκστάσεις εκτίουν εμμηνόπαυση και οι Ερινύες πάντα δίπλα μας. Τις ακούμε όλοι και όχι φυσικά μόνο οι Maabam στην Αφρική που τα αυτιά τους συλλαμβάνουν ακόμα και ψιθύρους σε απόσταση 40 μέτρων.
Το Ε διαθέτει όλη την μεγαλοπρέπεια των διασταυρώσεων, κλασαυχενίζεται ότι το να αυτοχαστουκίζεται κάποιος είναι πάντοτε πιο ανώδυνο από το να τρώει χαστούκια από κάποιον άλλο. Και οργανικά και ψυχοσωματικά τα χαστούκια απ’ τους άλλους είναι πάντοτε πιο δυνατά. Έπαρση και έξαρση (όπως αυτές στο παιχνίδι του Arijan Komazec) διαφέρουν μόνο κατά ένα γράμμα. Γειτνιάζουν σε μια ανήλικη νήσο του Πάσχα, όπου όλοι οι ήχοι κυμαίνονται από 750 μέχρι 3000 Hz και είναι αποκλειστικά υπεύθυνοι για αυτά που συμβαίνουν στην καρδιά, στους πνεύμονες και στα συναισθήματά μας. Εκστατικά εγκλωβίζονται εχέμυθες ελεμύνθες και έρπουν εκκωφαντικά χωρίς φυσικά να τους δίνει κανείς σημασία…Ε, βέβαια, πού να τους δώσει; Ο θόρυβος των πόλεων είναι το καλύτερο καταφύγιο, το πιο δυνατό ηχοαναλγητικό που “πείθει” ότι κάτι συμβαίνει. Γι΄αυτό μαρέσουν τα νεκροταφεία…βάζουν τέλος στις λεπτομέρειες…
Το 2050 ένα (1) εκατομμύριο είδη ζώων και φυτών θα έχουν εξαφανιστεί και το 11-17% της χλωρίδας θα μας (σας, δεν ξέρω ακόμα, έχει πολύ δουλειά τελευταία ο κύριος) έχει χαιρετήσει… Θα αγοράσει τελικά ρε γαμώτο η Barclays την ABN-AMRO; Έχω μια αγωνία…
Στο νησί του Πάσχα στα δύο Ε κάνει παρέα μερικές φορές και ένα άλλο: Έρωτας. Συνομωσιολογική στιβαρότητα της γραμματικής (ε+ρ) η οποία συγκρινόμενη με γεωγραφικά μεγέθη μοιάζει μόνο με την χερσόνησο Kamchatka. Χωράει η Kamchatka στο νησί του Πάσχα;
Ο Ελβετός Hans Jenny με το έργο του Cynatics έδειξε πώς ένα πολύπλοκο γεωμετρικό σχήμα μπορεί να μετασχηματιστεί από τον ήχο. Αυτός ίσως να μπορούσε να βοηθήσει, αλλά… αλλά…
Να ακούς πάντοτε μουσική με τον Δώριο και ποτέ με τον Φρύγιο τρόπο, να προσπαθείς να “μικρύνεις” την Kamchatka σου και να σιχαίνεσαι τους απανταχού cronies σε όλα τα Empires της γης. Ακόμα και τα γένια του νεκρού μεγαλώνουν μέσα στον τάφο λίγο ακόμα. Άντε, τί περιμένεις;
Τα πράγματα θα γίνουν καλύτερα, η Austria Telecom θα αγοράσει τον ΟΤΕ και το κολοδάχτυλο από χθες άρχισε να αρέσει και στα Γαλλάκια (εκτός απ΄τα Αγγλάκια).
Να αφησεις το κλειδί κάτω απ την πόρτα και άμα αργήσω να φάτε.
Και μην ξεχάσεις να “μικρύνεις” την Kamchatka σου.
Οι TEXTU RIZER την Κυριακή γνέθουν το Ε και μετασχηματίζουν την δική τους ηχητική γεωμετρία στις αποχρώσεις του ροδάκινου.
THUS SPOKE ZAPRUDER

harry caul' s nightmare
Listen, my name is Harry Caul. Can you hear me? Don't be afraid. I know you don't know who I am, but I know you. There isn't much to say about myself. I - was very sick when I was a boy. I was paralyzed in my left arm and my left leg and couldn't walk for six months. When doctor said that I'd probably never walk again. My mother used to lower me into a hot bath - it was therapy. One time the doorbell rang and she went down to answer it. I started sliding down. I could feel the water starting to come up to my chin, to my nose, and when I woke up, my body was all greasy from the holy oil she put on my body. And I remember being disappointed that I survived. When I was five, my father introduced me to a friend of his, and for no reason at all, I hit him right in the stomach with all my strength. And he died a year later. He'll kill ya if he gets the chance. I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of murder.
PERSONAL PARASITE, I AM
While we can simply observe an Other without his knowing(and perceiving) it, [...] we can never observe ourselves without our knowing(perceiving) it. Whenever we observe ourselves, we of course always never observe ourselves, but rather, always another. Thus, we can never speak of self-observation, or we are speaking about us observing ourselves as who we are when we observe ourselves, who we never are, however, whenever we are not observing ourselves and therefore whenever we observe ourselves we never observe the one whom we intended to observe, but rather, an Other.
Harry Caul plays his saxophone at home
Having spent his entire life engaged in audio surveillance, Harry Caul is made aware that his own space has been bugged. Desperate to find the the technological implant that has made it possible to do to him what he normally does to others, he literally deconstructs his apartment_object by object, floorboard by floorboard, until finally unable to find the device he sits, exhausted amidst the trashed ruins of his violated privacy.
Although he has dismantled every artifact, tested every appliance, and ripped down every piece of wallpaper, the "bug" Harry so desperately seeks has eluded him. But it is right "there" in the films final sequence, an extended hight angle shot, that slowly surveys the extent of the futile damage. Begining in an empty corner, it pans slowly and methodically to the left until it captures the broken saxophone playing man.
SURVEILLANCE HAS BECOME THE CONDITION OF THE NARRATION ITSELF

ath-ldn report
Τελικά η εισβολή στο Λονδίνο ήταν πολυ καλά προετοιμασμένη, ο αριστοτεχνικός αντιπερισπασμός με τα αρχικά του αεροδρομίου της Lamidanda (LDN) στο Nepal
έστειλε όλους τους διψασμένους για εξωτική μουσική άγγλους στην μακρινή χώρα.
Οπότε όλες σχεδόν οι μουσικές επιθέσεις έγιναν υπό την προστασία της εκεί ελληνικής μουσικής κοινότητας. Κάποιοι ξεχασμένοι αυτόχθονες που προσπάθησαν να αμυνθούν ...
πετώντας σαϊτες δεν κατάφεραν να πτοήσουν τους Erasers, οι οποίοι παρουσίασαν μια αρκετά δεμένη οπτικοακουστική περφόρμανς με κορυφαίες στιγμές την είσοδο του Μπάμπη του τσατσάρα και το πόστ ρεμπέτ τελείωμα του Mr Comfort.O Electroware και ο Biomass στο φουαγιέ κατάφεραν να συνοδεύσουν επάξια το dinner των παρισταμένων φιλότεχνων.Ο Biomass δε την επομένη φρόντισε στην ανακατανομή του πλούτου από το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο σε χώρες του τρίτου κόσμου. Μια βαθύτατα πολιτική πράξη έστω και αν κάποιοι προσβλήθησαν. Δυστυχώς δεν έχουμε στοιχεία για τις υπόλοιπες εκδηλώσεις μα νομίζω οτι τα καταφέραμε εξίσου καλά κι εκεί.
Το Λονδίνο είναι αλήθεια ανώριμο να δεχτεί την σύγχρονη κουλτούρα μας και αυτό σίγουρα θα αποδειχθεί μοιραίο για το μέλλον της φίλης χώρας. Η προσπάθεια που έγινε όμως να έρθουν σε επαφή οι καλλιτέχνες μας με τα πεδία των μαχών και η σχεδόν συνομωτική παρουσία της αντικατασκοπίας μας εκεί, δείχνει οτι θα τους φάμε λάχανο. Τώρα που γυρίσαμε στη βάση μας μπορούμε να σχεδιάσουμε τις επόμενες επιθέσεις μας με καθαρό μυαλό και έχοντας καλύτερη εικόνα του εχθρού που αυτη την φορά μας αγνόησε επιδεικτικά.
