SMETNJAK x JOHN MAUS

Ena ura, en sam plan, en monolog, črički (škržati?) in veter kot soundtrack, youtube posnetek na velikem platnu. Anti-spektakel, ki prej povleče na Johna Cagea, a ta pripada drugemu glasbenemu postopku resnice. John Maus o the old guys: »They are great and we should enter into a conversation with them, but they didn’t grow up watching E.T.« Zavest, vzgojena ob Živ Žavu in nato priklopljena na internet, požira le byte-size – 3-minutni komadi, članki kot slikanice, filmi brez tišine. Ko thrill popusti in zaslutimo napor, sežemo po miški ali daljincu. Kaj nas zagrabi v plitvinah koncentracije, med besnim, a bežnim procesiranjem podatkov in resetiranjem spomina? John Maus stavi na pop in spektakel: estetsko sublimnost robota, ki se dviga iz plamenov, kofeinsko maničnost zvoka, skompresirano v verz in refren. Radikalni potenciali popa. Smetnjakova metoda se postavi pred ogledalo.

Projekcija video intervjuja z Johnom Mausom: 22. november ob 20h @ Kiberpipa (kinodvorana), Kersnikova 6, Ljubljana. Vstopnine ni. Facebook event.

The Family Business

… or why incest is the best.

Bellow you can hear what happens when two Smetnjak offshoots, NubiS and Mr. Gucci, procreate. This is the sound of them proposing that you should do your family members instead of drugs.

It kind of makes you feel that perhaps you should have kissed that sexy cousin of yours.

Nietzschejeva Vesela znanost št. 39:
“Sprememba splošnega okusa je pomembnejša kakor sprememba mnenj; mnenja z vsemi dokazi, ugovori in z vso intelektualno maškarado so le simptomi spremenjenega okusa in prav gotovo ne njegovih vzrokov, zaradi česar jih še tako pogosto izgovarjamo. Kako se spreminja vsesplošni okus? S tem, da posamezni, mogočni, vplivni brez občutka sramu izgovarjajo svoj hoc est ridiculum, hoc est absurdum, se pravi sodbo svojega okusa in gnusa, in ga tiransko uveljavljajo – s tem številnim vsiljujejo rešitev, iz katere polagoma nastane privajenost še marsikoga in nazadnje potreba vseh.”
