Music for Found Footage #3
Audience recording with Nokia Lumia 920.



This program present a selection of classic works from the LIMA (formerly Montevideo/NIMK) archive. The videos of this program were produced between 1979 and 1988 by five Dutch and international video artists, including works by pioneers of European video art such as Klaus vom Bruch, Reinier Kurpershoek and Ron Sluik. The selection focuses on the aesthetics of video art produced in the 80s, when the practise of remixing or manipulating film and video footage became popular among artists to create new narrative pieces. The program is presented in collaboration with LIMA.

A lot of 'mechanical' bands existed around 1980 in the Netherlands. Sammie's MAM was imho one of the best. More musical and less artificial than the rest. Although a bit dated, Sammie still sounds fresh nowadays.


Vara's Popkaravaan (yes, MAM had to play on a campground, one of those lame ideas Dutch broadcasters come up with during summers)

1 Your world far world (partial) [1:53]
2 It's slipping away [5:26]

Tijdens mijn vakantie ontving ik een email van vriend Peter. Hij was in een koffiezaak de krant aan het lezen waarin een artikel stond over de heruitgave van 'Anthology of Dutch Electronic Tape Music'. In dat artikel werd een stukje uit deze blog (vertaald) geciteerd.
Hij stuurde deze foto, gemaakt met zijn iphone:



Gelukkig had vriend Theo de krant nog ergens thuis liggen en kon me een scan sturen van het hele artikel. Klik hierboven op het kiekje voor de scan. Of lees de on-line versie op de site van de schrijver Frits van der Waa .

Ik had de officiële cd's al gekocht tijdens de presentatie daarvan in het Bimhuis. Zou u ook moeten doen, bij Basta: www.bastamusic.com.
