Pina Bausch tanzen nicht mehr

2011-11-14T22:42:00.000-08:00

From Pina Bausch fan page of Facebook

Went to a funeral tonight. It was a lovely farewell.
It crescendet into a true afterlife feeling.
Almost religious.

Pina Bausch is dead, yet her art still lives further.
Through her Tanztheater Wuppertal. And in her legacy. The movie she started to make with Wim Wenders and the same he finished with her members of the dance company of hers.

The cinema Rio, a little alternative theathre in Stockholm,
gave Pina 3D.

Viva la Arte

EBM lives in Stockholm - Pouppée Fabrikk gig!

2011-03-25T06:05:00.000-07:00

Last time we heard them on stage live was at BodyFest in october 2010. Now Pouppée Fabrikk will perform at Fist Fight Night at Fabriken 26th of march. It's been said they will perform songs from next album coming up in a few month. As they rarely do gigs people from all over the world will come. This song was the one they break through with in Germany once. A bussload with germans came to BodyFest.
Also on stage there will be a swedish band called Ekobrottsmyndigheten, they perform with humouristic lyrics in swedish.

At BodyFest I was surprised to listen EBM in swedish and notice some poplyrics about love with some of them bands that acted. Still.. not so strange...When thinks upon this. When listen bands in another langauge you listen music, rythm and lyrics together and maybe miss this connection someway.

When I listen Deadbolt (no resamblance with EBM of course, still makes me inner jump same way emotionally) their romance is more in line with me then ordinary poplyrics. EBM gets away with such poplyrics due to the hard stomp anyway. Well - EBM with humouristic lyrics will be fun to experience. To see if they bite or not^^

SO ok.... thats me...... I see maybe other things and doesn't care genre so much when it comes to what touches me inspirationally speaking. Here is some Deadbolt for you as well..

When love is triky..see this movie...

2011-02-24T14:32:00.000-08:00

The love between the American burlesque stripper Teri Lee Geary (aka Kitten DeVille) and her punk rock singer husband Shawn Geary is strong but rather complicated. All of a sudden their 26 year long relationship and their lifestyle have a down side. Still they fix it.
Eternal love....

Strychnin

2010-11-06T00:48:00.000-07:00

There is a gallery that imports and exports art between USA-Europe-Japan. Special gothic experimental art from not quite yet established or recognized artists in the "world of art". Among their "family" we find names as Chet Zar, Ver Mar, Ansgar Noeth, Lukas Zpira and now recently even Banksy!

Since Yasha Young, the curator that hold all together, is one of the members of ART21 board things are happening there too. I am not surprised Banksy appeared this year!

The Strychnin is like an family, tells me Ansgar Noeth, when I visit the exhibition on one of my hundreds visits in Berlin. I always seems to been drawn to this fantastique thrilling gallery.

Ansgar Noeth told me that Strychnin travels together all over the world to set up installations.

Yasha Young tells me she doesn't even have an gallery in New York no more. I USA they found it more suitable to just set up installations where it's an interesting spot to do so.

She is kind of a marketing stylist for her artists, she is good at knowing how to introduce them to get them the best spotligth onto their carriere.
Her interest for goth, in the sense of the Edgar Allan Poe way, is striking in her choices of artists.

Its true thrilling to visit an exhibition curated by this Lady!

Synth Is Not Dead

2010-10-11T13:35:00.000-07:00

BodyFest in Stockholm was sold out completely. In this picture we see Spark. Photo: NineIZ

BODYFEST Kills That Rumour
There seems to be a rumour among them entreprenours of synthmusic festivals. That synth is dead.The fact they stop arranging pure synth events speaks for this. My speculation is that they feel old and quit (Tinnitus) or they want to mix in other genres of music (Arvika) since they dont realize how big this is.
Only WGT in Leipzig is still going strong.

Big audience at Bodyfest. Here watching and listening Pouppée Fabrikk. Photo: NineIZ

In Sweden the new phenomena Bodyfest is taking it from there. And they are smart enough to mix in different styles within the genre itself. The EBM and Body genre was celebrating in Stockholm this weekend at the very First BodyFest event! And it was of great success. All tickets got sold out and the crowd was very pleased all through. Even if bit tired maybe in the end. Eight hours of music on a road is a bit exhausting.

Jean-Luc de Meyer in Front 242 beholds the audience with energetic fire at BodyFest. Photo: NineIZ

Front 242 was there! As the main attraction.The band that started it all. The fathers of the genre EBM. They made a great concert and were so energetic on stage that Jean-Luc de Meyer didn't even come out for the extra number the audience screamed forward. And I totally understands him. And so did all mine musician friends also. Wow. He really gave all at stage for us during the set. We got extras of course. They are two singers in the band, remember?

Patrick Codenys in Front 242 was the one to be interviewed this evening. Photo: NineIZ

Right before the Front 242 gig I met with Patrick Codenys and he told me I was to expect some return to the old sound of the band. And they sure gave us a cool mix, slightly and gentle updated with new samplings.

Patrick Codenys NEWS

Patrick Codenys also told me about his new side project. He is learning a new language, Dance. Yes, it is his words. Patrick Codenys is working with a Dance Company called La Zampa and make music for them. They had a very nice and spectacular gig in Toulouse this spring that got lots of attention, "Daisy Cutter". He seems very thrilled and excited about this new area. We already know he is the most innovative in the band. He is a biotechnic humanoid all through. I didn't know though that he doesn't even consider himself to be a musician, but he tells me this at our meeting backstage. He is living the technique as an artist, I believe. His other side project Red Sniper is still going strong too, wherein he expresses through film also, among others art expressions.

Front 242 NEWS

Patrick Codenys tells me that Front 242 is soon to be extending their live shows into surround sound and more multimedia experience. As this has become his new passion. He is learning this right now and the Front 242 has a project group working on this. The Front 242 were supposed to show this last spring but it got postponed. In December this year at a gig in Belgium, in Brussels, we will get a room specially for this to walk through and experience the new phenomena of the band before we get to the concert hall. And then we get the chance to see it once again at Leipzig at the Wave Gotik Treffen in May 2011.

Am looking forward to this.

Them other bands at this festival

The BodyFest contained also of gigs from No Sleep by the Machine and Stockholm Wrecking Crew, Spark, Autodafeh, Tyske Ludder and Pouppée Fabrikk. In the foaje we got DJ Insomnia (André Kiers) and in the concert hall Anders Karlsson från The Pain Machinery to keep us up with the beat in them pauses between the bands and them we choose to take for a break.

FOAJE, some more band pictures and something else

	The drummer of SPARK was cute in his kilt. And so energetic. Their songs surprised me a bit. Sounded like pop with EBM rythms to me. The shaped the BODY scene, I have been told by the Bodyfest festival general himself. Photo: NineIZ

Tyske Ludder did a great show. They made me feel like back in the 90's gothic synthtechnomusic parties again and missing my long black leather coat a lots, but they looked a bit like GI Joe and Rambo. Maybe that was the intention since they surely made deal with the german bad concious about second world war by showing the terror USA and other countries practice of today to others in the world in filmstrips, photos and songs. It was a cruel show. It sureley rocked. Photo: NineIZ

Autodafeh experimented a bit in the middle with Goth but returned to their roots in the end. Photo: NineIZ

Curiosity: The Testikelbrand himself (No Sleep by the Machine) was organizing Bodyfest with his friends. He was in orange. Testikelbrand is swedish for Burning Fire in them testicles.

Testikelbrand Photo: NineIZ

He writes wonderful lyrics btw. Check out his websites. He told me the new song Yellow Mica and the old song Old Track was the ones the audience really loved in their set.

He got a normal name too: Jens Plesner but writes under his name Testikelbrand.

Some soundclips from YouTube with the courtesy of the film maker and the bands;

If you look in the YouTube for a video called Bodyruset you will see Stockholm Body Audience warm up a few weeks before Bodyfest with a little run in the park to them tunes of EBM.

DROP DEAD FESTIVAL - So much more then just music

2010-10-01T17:53:00.000-07:00

This is artist Elena Brocade in her solo performance "Jinx" at a Drop Dead Festival event.

Elena Brocade is one of them artists that went into training with Aloft
a special training school in Chicago for trapez artists. She now performs all over the world and also take part in movies and was participating in Olympic Games of Hong Kong 2008.
She performed at Drop Dead Festival in Vilnius 2010.

Drop Dead Festival is so much more then just music.

I will never forget the act of Opera and Rock'n'Roll in Stockholm performed by Maya de Vesque and Anders Karlsmark (from Commando M Pigg - a swedish punk band)

Drop Dead is gothic, deathrock, performance and so much more.
To me it's a window to the BatCave scene of excellent taste DJ:s.

Next year it is in Berlin. They originally started in New York but travels all around the world.

Polina Yakovleva aka Polina NY Decay

and
Daniel Jones aka DJ Triangle

are the ones behind this all.
They also got a magazine called Drop Dead Magazine
in which you can follow their adventures if you are not lucky enough to have them on FB.

This is from Portugal event. Snatched from The Official Drop Dead Page on FaceBook.

Release The Bats!

One afternoon I get a phone call from a long lost friend and he drops by my place with this CD. It totally chills me smiling to the ground! It gives me flashbacks to bands like In The Colonnades. The kind of music I have missed for so long! But this little album fixed my abstinence.

Craterface is heavy, cool and mystique still yet so punkish in a way not many can do it... the special sound and feeling is .. special..

They are hard to find on MySpace so keep the link as a bookmark. Secret and mystique. Their record company has got the coolest name. Gravejuice.

Gothic enough for me.

As my friend always were.

I cant wait to see them LIVE with this. Feels like being in a dark rock n roll club when I listen this album!

It's kind of auto production but this is not noticeable. It sounds as if made in a studio.

But my friend tells me it is mostly recorded in a kitchen.

My friend tells me he is in the middle of next production right now.
And this next album will be made in a studio.

I can hardly wait.

My Sunday turned out good!

My abstinence is stilled. Long time missed sounds fills my apartment. And I am feeling great!

Best news this decade^^^^

Its an interesting little list inside the album convolute that maybe gives some clues of this mysterious band with their site in another country and with spanish quota as reference for what inspires them.

Censorship SUCKS - Free ART

2010-09-21T07:57:00.000-07:00

iodine Jupiter
Bookcover that was cencored
by an Erotical Fair General

There is a poet in Sweden that always manage to provoke.

His book Dom dödas pornografi (The pornographie of them dead - free translation by me...) had a cover with a man with a crucifux in his pants zipper. The poster for this one was censored by the Erotic Fair - next to the bookstand of Vertigo very small females were fucked hard by big dicks on screens.....

This time.. iodine Jupiter made a book concerning Sweden being fucked by USA-freely..... its a satir....

the promovideo obviously upset someone - and they reported it to YouTube as sex. Its no visiable sex in this... the imagination makes this due to the viewers own preferences... the artist is making art....

Well, since this artist got a big portion of humour... he of course responds in cool way to all this.... and is pleased someone got touch enough to react... of course...

He says:

(freely translated by me)

Where is the borderline for you?

The satir where USA is fucking Sweden arosed such joy and cheering at YouTube that they felt it necessary to censor the long version of F**ck around the clock. Bodyparts painted in flags seems scary.

Explicit nothing is shown. Is this a question about political censorship of this parodie on USA. Or is the erotic phantasie of the censor running wild?

/iodine J

Freely translated by Nine IZ

here the original text from the artist:

VAR GÅR GRÄNSEN FÖR YOU?

Satiren där USA sätter på Sverige väckte sånt jubel att Youtube kände sig nödgade att censurera den långa versionen

av F**k around the clock. Kroppssminkande bakdelar målade som flaggor verkar otäckt.

Explicit visas ingenting. Är det fråga om politisk censur i parodin på USA. Eller den erotiska fantasin

hos censorn som skenat iväg?

/iodine J

Note: the titel of this book mentioned above The pornographie of them dead is a travastie of an very old national hero among swedish authors btw...

The link to the trailer remains anyway.... F**ck around the clock

Just a little uncensored youtube material to compare with... Prodigy Baby's Got a Temper

iodine Jupiter is one of Sweden's most secret poets. He is brilliant in his mysterious way. And very sharp in his humour and when he makes a satir.. its freaking glowing and smoky as after a bombshell attack. This is the promotion video for the book Fuck Around The Clock.

2010-08-11T01:19:00.000-07:00

Today I discovered an artist named ranxid. The song Trains from the album Vawe Effect I like very much.

Trains

The picture at this link is the only one I find of the artist.
Ehm..not entirely true, if you check out the new band of ranxid there is actually a picture in one of them thumbnails for songs on the album.

This band is called "The Devil's Orphans".
At the ranxid website I read "Ranny joined up with Johnny N and DockterE" and the first 7 song CD is done.

Here is a taste of this and a link to their site.

DROP DEAD FESTIVAL - Stockholm went batcave and more for one night

2010-07-25T21:30:00.000-07:00

Stockholm went goth for one night a´la Drop Dead festival! It was good music and lots of old rockers came out of their batcaves to breathe again some of the darkness not so often provided these days!

NYC Polina Y and Daniel Triangle from http://www.dropdeadfestival.com

Drop Dead Magazine http://dropdeadmagazine.com I read their magazine and its cool to see something like this again. Good texts with substance and of interest.

Well, the party....

The girl that makes it happen. Polina Y and the guy that makes it happen together with her, Daniel Triangle.

Moulin Noir went on stage at midnight sharp. Here is some photos made with not so excellent equipment.

Maya de Vesque and Anders Karlsmark made a goth experiment this evening. She was singing opera aria out from a lyricsbook. Last song was a goodnightsong. The guitarist was moving so quickly and energetic that could not make him stand still in the photo^^

Awesome evening at Sugar Bar.

Wants more?? well, I might make a blog in my Aftonbladet blogg in swedish. And IF some paper buys the story I tell you where to read this. ahm.. forgot to mention the darkblooded musiclovers that provided this clubnight for Drop Dead in Stockholm, DJ Avreagera and DJ IGGOF. Well, read the wonderful flyer and you know it all^^ and yes... I missed the first band since didnt arrive till midnight.

And yes.... It is mine article.....

http://oimagazine.blogspot.com/2010/05/shanghai-world-expo-2010-liza-veliz.html

It is about Bryn Oh whos alias in real life is unknown.
This avatar made in www.secondlife.com is known and recognized as an artist inside this virtual world as well as In Real World. Well, this you can read about in the link above from PressMedia Oi Magazine.

Here is one of Bryn Oh´s machinimas (a video made from inside a virtual 3D world with avatars).

Bryn Oh writes poems then build the story around them in pixels and make machinimas to tell them.
Her little robots looks like sculptures. She herself looks like an angel still quite human in her avatar.

Its very tricky to build in pixels, for me it takes some time to put together mine simple books for the kafes of mine at Darker Shadow Productions, mine own little experiment in this world.

Ofer Wolberger’s project Life with Maggie

2010-04-26T09:52:00.000-07:00

On the Beach, Pensacola, FL
Photographer Ofer Wolberger

Today I went to see this exhibition from C/O Berlin Life with Maggie by Ofer Wolberger at the Goethe Institute of Stockholm, and I read the interview made by Jennifer Crowley – or rather part of this – from the book Talents 17 - Life with Maggie.

It seems as such an interesting idea, to use this mask of his wife’s properties, that she got from her parents collections of masks once, and let this mask from the 1930-1940´s have its own life in our time.

He is making an avatar of this I think. This is what I do with my avatars in Second Life. Liza loves the 1920`s and she hates all of this new era’s stuff, but she tries to fit in. Just like “Maggie”, as the photographer names the character he is making of the mask to let it become alive again in our time.

I specifically love the scene, the photography, of “Maggie” at the beach. To me she wants to be there and swim like the other guests on the beach – but she doesn’t want to be undressed or dressed in bikini. She makes her own way a bathing suit – a swimming suit- of her nightgown or a short dress. So this way she is on the beach as she used to be in the 1930 or 1940´s maybe. But she at least tries her outmost to fit in, and this she also does.

When you are meeting an environment that isn’t yours, but still is supposed to be, you try to make the best of this situation. I think “Maggie” is excellent in adjusting^^^

Am looking forward to follow Ofer Wolberger in this project. He tells in the book that he want to see “Maggie” grew old. So it will be continued.

It is his wife that supplies “Maggie” with the body that carries the mask of her around and of course she will be elder day by day.

This makes a nice portrait of a couple that works together and definitely plan to be old together too.

If I ever interview them I will have to ask about this.

I saw nothing of the wife in the part of the interview I read from this book, more then the photographer mentioning her as the owner of the mask and as his wife and telling us that she is the model - the person that brings “Maggie” into life by posing her in the situations she is placed within. Her husband does tell us she make an impact in evolving “Maggie” though, since she is part of her, and he does tell us about her by her name, of course, she is Billie. But maybe she is interviewed too in the book, somewhere. I havent read it through yet.

One charming detail is when Ofer Wolberger mention that “Maggie” lives her own life in a way too... as he thinks sometimes “this Maggie would like to have a vacation picture of”... and this way he is givin her a bit freedoom beside his owns wishes for his pictures.

I believe the characters we create - if we let them free.... They will amaze us.
Maybe you got to be an artist yourself to understand this sentence...

It´s suited at the water next to the channel where ships and boats go through when changes sea, makes me wonder if ppl sometimes fall into this when drunk.. its in the harbour in middle if city.. Small, kind of dirty feeling, with a square outside for people to smoke at..(YEAH - you may bring your drinks outside-its almost as before the smoking prohibition time -) dark walls feeling inside... good athmosphere in a simple way - it´s a rock club area for sure..smoothest place in this town..for me... when listening concerts in Stockholm. You find this at Karl Johans Torg at Slussen just next to Gamla Stan.

Fotomässan 2009 - Photography Art Fair Stockholm

2009-11-13T08:41:00.001-08:00

When you see a gothic vampire in a photo and then a Lolita next to this.. You check again.... then you notice the little teddybear in his hand and that the girl is none... makes you think..... age is but a number still it seems to affect the way we reflect stuff....

The Art fair of Photo in Stockholm (13nov-15nov 2009)was really an explosion of equipments, seminars in open floor as well as lots of mind trips - journeys that made you think, journeys that made you feel sick and journeys that was just nothing more then pure beautyful.

It all started off for me by their advertisement in them free papers at the tube stations... black background white text commercial with Albert Watson´s gorgious gorilla model posing in cool ways. Same monkey man pictures was in the YouTube.. in the television commercial.. At the train to the Art fair there was this black woman with very red tounge and in devils hornes tempting me from them walls.

Albert Watson himself attended the exhibition by his website at the computer next to his photos telling about his work.

Him and Vee Spree and Joel-Peter Witkin are the first out at the new museum of photo art called "Fotografiska" that will open 2010 in may in Stockholm.

Here we got a preview of the exhibition Life, Death and Fashion.

Vee Speers Birthday party (Life) really rocked.... if you ever saw a chocolate cake smashed into someone behind of the leg as she lays on the table as after smashed out sex after a good party.... well.. Vee lets us experience this party from the baking of the cake into the most vengenues alterations of fantazie with these photos^^

Joel Peter Witkin (Death) asks us whats normal with his beautyful pictures of all kinds of beings.. the hermaphrodite has its gender in white charcoal but still visible as lies there in such sensual gesture as the queen of venus herself or the queen of bacchus perhaps...

Albert Watson (Fashion) takes this term of fashion to new perspective with his monkey man for sure... this gorilla model really seems to like his job a lots and looks cool as hell.... bit scary it gets when the gorillas hand is grabbing a gun ready to shoot... makes me think of The planet of Apes movies.

Them photos of Athina Strataki in "Iam half-sick of Shadows, said the lady of Shalott" truly showed me some sensual aspects of what victorian inspired dresses could be in deligth of, and makes me wonder if its same as with them scottish kilts.. we are not supposed to wear anything under them...? **smilez**

Gerhard Jören confused me with his "First Deadly Sin" since I don´t get this one, it is about prostitution?? Got me curious.... same as with Marcus Bleasdale...from Kongo.. why show people from this part of the world always as some kind of djungle people from some old times.... but maybe he is just showing them as them live, said one of me followers to the exhibition...hmmm... still made me bit upset..but that´s good.. made me confront me own expectations and prejudices... Severus Tenenbaums "Suspected emotions" made me confront other aspects of mine thoughts.. seems to make pictures of ordinary people making them look as celebrities ;)

The photo of them rknrl pinguins rocked!!!!! There are this group of orange pinguins with red eyes and feathers on the head in cruel style looking like hooligans or rock´n´roll band people! Loved this picture.... it was at them birds picture scene so guess its Brutus Östlings picture.. am not sure though^^¨Surely.. the eye of the photographer and your own mind makes the picture^^

Galleri[KG52] took me on a mind trip about camping holidays^^ Saw people party, kissing, snuggling.. the old couple was kinda cool... made me think.. why is it so impossible for me to think of old ppl snuggling.. them needs this too.. dont them.... to be wild and drunk and horny and in love maybe...the young couples I reflected but still them did not affect me.. hmm once again....... made me think mine own condemnation over again...
The exhibition is called "From back home" and the photo book them came from is the winner of 2009 years photo books, if am correctly informed. Could not look inside this book... them were all sealed.. maybe all them pictures on them walls was all the content of this.....

The Photo Fair "Fotomässan" is planning to be one of them biggest in the world, right now them claims to be the biggest in northern Europe. It has already grown from being a rather small thing at The Factory in south of Stockholm to this big event of expected 37000 visitors in only 4 years. From 9000 to 12000 to 17000 to this... so maybe them will get there...

I find it rather amazing the fact about the Museum of Photo told at this fair. Its quite strange there has not existed a photo museum before.... lots of exhibitions is always going on in this town.. even stranger photo art fairs then this one... still... there´s been none Museum of Photo ....well, Now its gonna be.... 2010.

Its none coincident of strange this event takes place right now.. its in time for x-mas shopping for the northern´s of Europe... someones near and dears might get lucky and find a nice camera or else equipment in their presents - half of the fair contains business with this.... they seems to have thought this over carefully and made a smart marketing plan... them Jan och Per Broman. And Yes.. them are also behind the Museum of Photo.. "Fotografiska".

darkness and crowds... moulin noir.. sugar bar.. stockholm..sweden

2009-10-29T15:09:00.000-07:00

Went to Sugar Bar for first time.. was on me way when Henrik Maneuver used to dj there just never got around to.. I listen him in Berlin instead... at CCCP, Ambulance Club (soon to be RIP) and some other cool places where he dj:s.

This saturday evening 24th oct 09 it was raining... mine extensions had to be covered under the big black scarfie.. mysterious look for an mysterious one... yeah..darkness inside and outside of me..... like mists... as usual...

I didnt know anyone at the place... or maybe I just didnt check..... was not in socialize mood.... had one mission..to see this gig....

and it was well worth^^

around 22.30 I smelled the nice perfume of Anders Wikholm and looked around and there he was..heading for the backstage to get ready.... on stage his keyboardist Hans Åkerman was fiddling with the device he was gonna work on...for the set..

Them speakers dj:ed out nize music.... I could have sworn I heard Vartists... but it was not...just something similar....

the place was crowded....

When Moulin Noir entered the stage the audience was excited...

Lots of girls checkin each others there... very cuute everyone.... it was practically a count figth with eyes like swords goin on..in that subtile way... no one says anything...just looks cuute as hell and ignore each others as much as possible but still watching each others..

I was like... may oh may.... MR Moulin Noir.... your fans rocks^^

**grinz**

Very well dressed audience.... one guy managed to tangle his small buttons of his cool shirt into mine japanese synthetics... took a while to untangle them...

People were dancing... very small moves...since it was crowded in the stage and audience area at the back of the Sugar Bar club ULTRAFOXX.. some of the audience were singing softly with the band in some songs....feeling of harmony and pleased people was almost familiar...

This was the very first gig in Stockholm since long time... Moulin Noir was in USA on tour a while ago... New York clubs playes the music quite often...

In Sweden..... you need to be from another country to be of any interest...
guess it has to do with the fact swedish people likes to be feeling international...

Moulin Noir has its own audience anyway... no matter them offical radio and tv... or so... of this country...

The gothic scene knows very well Moulin Noir....

THERE ARE OTHER MEDIA... THEM SUBCULTURAL..

There were three big gothic events this evening in Stockholm and still... the place was crowded..

after this gig.. I went away.... came for them... and didnt wish to clang around the band - besides--- am a girl... and them girls looked vicious^^

If I want to see the artist I do this elsewhere

I hope he and his mate had fun this evening and got the appreciation them deserved..

I do know MR Moulin Noir got to see his youth favos Twice a Man anyway..... since this was the other band on stage this evening...

This he told us in the audience right before the gig started^^

well, first blog went to be about Moulin Noir then...

Second might be of Sins of Lusts singers soloproject coming up soon^^

The first album is about to enter the world around the end of the year I have been told^^

Not quite same music... but still same feeling...for me...
