Still Harping On About This Activist Crap 4 Planetary Survival
Posted by: filastine in General, tags: bike gang, hospital gurney sound systemLast weekend I stumbled, hacked, and vomited my way from Bilbao to Slovenia, backtracking to Turin, up to Frankfurt, finally arriving in Salzburg. A big scribble the width of europe with fever-stolen memories.
Basta with the shopping carts, it’s time to change my m.o. and travel with a hospital gurney.
Assuming I kill this flu and not the reverse, I’ll be joining the peoples behind this video to make an interventionist bike gang at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen (December 8-16).
My grain of salt will be to mount loudspeakers on a number of bikes, and compose an 8 channel sound piece. Each bikes loudspeaker fed by an mp3 source, with a synchronized start time. As an example how it will work, one sound might chase, jump from one bike to another, then emit from a fraction of the bikes, then all of them, then shift & mutate. The sound fodder will be cutup dialogue collages on the subject, melting glaciers pitched-up to piercing frequencies, alarms, the tranquil animal sounds of species soon to be extinct, and, of course, hellish end of the world four horsemen of the apocalypse styled noise.

Very interesting. It reminds me a Burroughs’ text “Electronic Revolution”. I wish I could be there…
i won’t be in copenhagen next december but i’d love to help to build these sound-bikes… or to run/ride again somewhere else, maybe…
take care and kill the flu

Burroughs was a hero until those Nike ads.
