Order ( 8. )

What they say. That you are on a track where you can no longer go down. That you’re not a member of a popular music group while you thought you were on your way. That would materialize. Of itself. I don’t think so. That will no longer work today. Or, as Charlotte Brontë wrote in ‘Villette’: “Well, my friend still had a very different sound and meaning from mon ami; she didn’t breathe the same degree of intimate daily affection; she certainly couldn’t say mon ami to M Paul, but my friend did, and I did it effortlessly”. (Villette, translation Elisabeth de Roos and C.J. Kelk, editorial Contact 1951, p. 311). Look, that’s a different story. There the meaning and intrinsic load of the word was weighed and chosen as communication, as etiquette, etiquette. Carefully. Also in translation. Unlike the randomly pasted fragments that pass through our screens today. Automatically translated. Each piece of text has a possible value in money, in power. Each word is a possible domain name. Come on. Popgroup. The Dogg family. And sympathy is what we need from my friend. Dresses. Because there is not enough love to turn around. Air balloons. Nena. Genau. Jetzt. Ten years later. Each row and column contains the numbers from 1 to 8. The success rate is around 15 percent. It was in 2015, or maybe in 2017, when this information came to us. It seemed at the time that twelve thousand people in the Netherlands were active for a political party.

Experimental ambient

Was het niet Brian Eno, die eerst nog in Roxy Music zat met de credits voor ‘synthesizers’. Those were the days, de synthesizers. Welaan, enige jaren later raakte Eno soort van onthecht van de main stream pop muziek en begon trage loops van stille geluiden te vangen op z’n recorder .’Music for Airports’ is een van de bekendste. Maar ook ‘Ambient’, als titel van een Long-Play Vinyl 33RPM dan wel te verstaan ( also available on audio-cassette ). Een soort contemplatieve melodieuze soft-noise. Je vind de muziek van die vinyls nog wel op het YouTube platform ( audio only ). Veertig jaar later, en met veertigduizend keer meer technologie dan Eno tot z’n beschikking had wordt er nog steeds spannende muziek in die stijl gemaakt.

De recente ( 2020 ) upload  van het Italiaanse duo Deux Chiens d’Espace is er een mooi voorbeeld van.  Hun digital album ‘Northern’ doet een beetje denken aan de industrial riffs van bijvoorbeeld Severed Heads, maar dan in de bekende ambient ‘slow motion’, over de digital sculptures horen we een weemoedige gitaarklank. De titels van de nummers verwijzen naar scandinavië, “vittu”, “tundra”, “whispering fjord”. Voor de Industrial fans: er is ook een track ‘ritual’ ( 13.50 min. ).
‘Northern’ is te streamen of downloaden via bandcamp.com
