Noise

noise: the politics of digital audio is an audio/visual essay that examines the dynamic interconnections between politics, technology and music. in particular, noise focuses on the increasing power and availability of home computer technology and the influence this has on the the shape and operation of the social totality, marked by the influence of global capitalism. in this context, the notion of noise becomes a cipher and a herald to be examined for possible, progressive social change.

You Are In A Maze Of Twisty Little Passages, All Different

Welcome to the working week (1). Feel the blood pump from my ventricle through your fingertips into your bloodstream deep inside you like a pop song on the radio(2) which describes how you’re feeling all the time(3). Someone keeps repeating what I sing one million years before it’s sung; it doesn’t make me feel good(4). [But] it’s a beautiful day(5). (9:11, 2002)

Auto-erotic

I’ve been slower than most to realize that I live in an automobile dominated society. I like it when I have a car. I love it. I hate it though that everyone else also has a car. Auto-erotic presents a series of auto ads. The images have not been manipulated in any way. They are what they are. They appeal to every kind of auto purchaser. The visuals taken alone just show cars, but it’s the music that really makes the sell. The music brands the consumer.

Monkey

DOPE – where to begin? Pot, booze, cigarettes, crystal, coke, psychedelics, heroin and pills – thanks to the peer pressure of my brother I started imbibing at the age of 9. Mass availability of substances – expedient delivery service in 5 minuets or less. Does technology play a role in this? Does the youth of today have a hope in hell avoiding it? Perhaps a product of my environment – or the times: whatever, I invite you to take this journey with me — Joe Sarahan
