THE REVIEW
Fantomas. Or disrupting the patterns of music, tracks that become episodes through a schizoid concentration that falls in that famous spot at the exact, formless, mathematical, and indeterminate boundary between genius and madness.
The soundtracks of famous films become the source of inspiration for these episodes, like listening to the director's cuts, that is, in cinematic language, the uncensored revisitation (Fantomas style) of a film, in this case the revisitation of soundtracks attempting to venture beyond the music.
When the instruments, mastered with absolute prowess, become strictly functional to the purpose of even more direct communication, blending into a half-crazed mix of sampled noises, bass, guitar, drums, and the voice itself used as an instrument, now to soothe, now to tear apart.
The listener receives that interpretation of the film which the rest of us could never have reached. "Director's Cut" is listened to by closing one's eyes and processing with the mind.
"The Godfather", "Charade", "Fire Walk with Me", "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion", "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" and others, according to Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton, Buzz Osborne, and Dave Lombardo.
