collateral murder dance project

collateral murder dance project

thanks to death row records music producer barry goldberg in los angeles
for the incredible inspiration

and the birds for their musical addition to the soundtracking of gunfire

and to julian assange for showing us a little bit about the horror of war
if and when his contribution to the human record comes to be interpreted as artistic
his protection will increase
wikileaks
as a global meme
of transparency and information
is a transnational digital art project among other things, and a film score, a sound line for the pop music of MIA and D'eon and more.

ideas




at one point i say waterboarding instead of whistleblowing.
the transposition of words is a little telling.
also the idea was originally called: collateral murder dance project, for the dancetranspiring before the video relay of the collateral murder film, which plays either alone or synchronized with radiohead's amnesiac or alone as-is.
guantanamo the musical is a separate idea of a brechtian, les miserables-esque tale of poverty, despair and triumph through technology.

thanks to arran edmonstone for filming, editing, and eliciting this content
collateral murder dance project while not at this time a musical, may in the future have lyrics, for instance "you feed me to the lions" of amnesiac by radiohead
the industrial quality of the gunfire reminds me of my feeling about 2004 LA industrial music culture--it was so clear what intense war protest was going on in the nightclubs---we were so furious at the invasion of Iraq and industrial culture went mainstream pop at that time
