Και μια ανακάλυψη που με ταρακούνησε


Γαμώ τις ιδέες και ένας πολύς καλός τρόπος να περάσεις άπειρες ώρες. Ο τέκης μας ας μας πει: μπορούμε να πλασάρουμε και το μπλογκ μας; Μπορούμε να εξελίξουμε την ιδέα τους και να την κάνουμε υπεργαμάτη; Πχ. προς το παρόν δεν βλέπω μπλογκς με ντάουνλοουντ λινκς για άλμπουμ.

New tunes from occupied territories

checkpoint 303 is inspired by the sounds that pace the daily lives of millions of people in the middle east. screeching sounds of bullets. echoing injustice. uproar. revolt. dispair and sadness. and still amidst all this the soothing sounds. of hope. of normality. trivial acts. life like everywhere else. this is not a video game. violence is not a moving image on tv. it's the daily nightmare of millions...

the electronic experiment kicked off in 2004 when tunisian sound cutter SC MoCha teamed up with Bethlehem based palestinian sound catcher SC Yosh to form Checkpoint 303. the idea was to cut, track, fragment and reconstruct the audio soundscape from daily lives in the middle east. new audio reporting on injustice. Paris-based SC MoCha reworks the field recordings made by SC Yosh in the occupied territories into rhythmical transcriptions that range from raw acoustic aggression to synthetic soothing tunes with everything in between.
