HARAPPIAN NIGHT RECORDINGS
I WAS BORN WITH 7 CLITS
DVD AAVV 001

Stitched together from the underbelly of the “lesser genres”, the detritus, the derelict lagans give us the unsound co-ordinates of rasashastra, a rickety frame, on which we can pin our blackest bilge shit. See here the deranged debris of Indonesian horror, the demented dregs of Indian B movie terror, the crazed crap-husks of Czech terror, choice morsels from Moroccan dread cinema, American bollocks photoplay and Lebanese twat flicks.

Harappian Night Recordings is the work of Sayed Kamran Ali, an English artist connected with the Hunter Gracchus/Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides collective. His most recent album - The Glorious Gongs Of Hainuwele on Bo'Weavil - mixes field recordings apparently from Southeast Asia with rough household drones, breathing and otherworldly sounds, in an atmosphere that vibrates in places between the coordinates of Sun City Girls/Vibracathedral Orchestra/Uton, spirited nocturnal transmissions, devotional ragas and folk-primitive navigations bathed in a psychedelic derivation.

CADEO
COLORATISSIMO MEGABAZAR
DVD AAVV 002

COLORATISSIMO MEGABAZAR is a deranged journey into 80s italian commercial broadcasters and their fuzzy memories: family christmas programs, late night sofporn shows, new romantic bumpers, glowing ads, hallucinatory jingles, twisted idents, cathodic fantasies gone wrong… All contents and clips are sampled from 1980-1987 Italian TV. Music and dust by Cadeo.

A duo with an uncertain geographical origin, but whose headquarters is settled in Cologno Monzese (Milan) inside the fairy Palazzo dei Cigni, Cadeo is a mysterious audiovisual project born in 2009 as a sort of cunning and enchanted exploration of the TV imaginary world of the 80s. Rhythms reduced to a minimum and wild arpeggios are the soundtrack for a mosaic made up of quotes coming from the commercial television and Milan nightlife in the 80s, all captured in an old dusty VHS. Pop refrains and sparkling jingles alternate with a catabasis towards frozen abysses, old advertisements and soft-porn winkings become more and more a nightmarish loop…
