Autopoieses "La vie à noir transposed" (Mille Plateaux)
The original version, "La vie à noir", consists of 45 short tracks of
noise, or something to that effect. This is the remix version - four
artists do an interpretation each: Gez Varley (from LFO) transforms
Autopoieses into first rate danceable techno, Terre Thaemlitz
contributes with a very nice clicks'n'popsy ambient thing, Kit
Clayton tries to throw some kind of interesting rhythmical noise
together but stumbles at the finish line, while Vladislav Delay's
tune is similar to the music on his impressive album "Entain" but not
at all as good.
The second 12" contains 28 locked grooves: loops of clicks and pops,
small bits of sampled music or industrial noise. With a few effect
boxes connected to your stereo you can have a lot of fun - make your
own Autopoieses remix! The idea sadly fails a bit because all the
loops are on the same 12", and you can consequently not mix them
together. Pretty fun anyway, and luckily snd's magnificient "Systems
Medley" came out in its thirt pressing during July (the b-side
contains eight locked grooves.
