about

This is music from the second video I made in collaboration with Adrián Kriška called ANCESTRAL ARCHEOLOGY: Difference and Repetition

“The voice is always dead, and only out of some desperate denial, we call it living. We call this irreplaceable loss a modulation. Modulation is a voice to the extent that it has always passed. It has been silenced.”
Roland Barthes

What Is The Story You Want To Tell?

In the past, people with special skills, knowledge or just ones looked different from the middle part of the bell curve, those people were persecuted. Burned and accused of not being good for society. Why shall we create shallow and uniform societies with only one type of people? Why can't we cherish differences, various genders, multiple identities and the power of weirdness? This is the main magic that we are burning when we decide to fit into one uniform.

Folklore For The New Era

What are the stories we want to tell our relatives, friends or kids? Traditions used to be heteronormative, roles defined and lives predestined. Future folklore does not have to be like that. How does our stamp in the cultural map look like? Like us.

Dance, raving at night and repetition in the music compositions stays in our culture and evolves since we reacted to the first vibration with our bodies. Movement without prescribed gender roles and predefined steps is an attribute of freedom. A choice we are making when we decide to move as we want.

A semantic Memory, Simulacrum of Reality

In Baudrillard's concept, like Nietzsche's, simulacra are perceived as negative, but another modern philosopher who addressed the topic, Gilles Deleuze, takes a different view, seeing simulacra as the avenue by which an accepted ideal or "privileged position" could be "challenged and overturned".

Deleuze defines simulacra as "those systems in which different relates to different by means of difference itself.
What is essential is that we find in these systems no prior identity, no internal resemblance".
(Deleuze, Gilles (1968).
Difference and Repetition. Translated by Paul Patton. Columbia: Columbia University Press. p. 69)
