Over the Borough Island (2009, 63 MB, 1:51 min)
Two longer pieces from Steven Ball some of whose
Direct Language pieces we posted here last week.
Both pieces are great but I have particular soft spot for
ex Local Authority which, although I’m sure it
has all sorts of potent intellectual justifications for being is also,
quite simply, austerely & melancholically gorgeous.
A live performance by Julien Maire.

But not short titles eh Ask?
Work of skill, verve, charm & oddness from Ask Vatne Brean
about whom I know nothing , except I think he is Norwegian.
Update: He is Norwegian & is an 18 year old
music student.
Impressive & somewhat scary – I look forward to seeing how his
work develops.

Music video from awhile back by abe linkoln for ‘core duo’
an experimental-y, electronica-y, dance-y kind of outfit.
Good stuff !
Tarlabasi Crawl (2009, 18 MB, 8:23 min.)
Jeremiah Day is interested in resistance movements, as well as the flux of
knowledge, stories and identity through the migration of people and histories.

Direct Language 4.5 (2007, 7.5 MB, 1:20 min)
Direct Language 3.0 (2006, 1.5 MB, 52 sec, silent)
Strange fragments of worked over reality which
lodge in the unconscious like splinters.
From Steven Ball’s excellent Direct Language
project – well worth spending some time there.
More recent work from him soon.
Utterly bonkers* & totally splendid video documentation of a performance
by Annie Abrahams, Colette Tron et Emmanuelle Delafraye.
Annie Abrahams performs the movements whilst the others
read texts on the subject of fear, garnered, I believe, from the internet.
* in a good way; committed, unafraid, vulnerable, generous.
