New Blockaders/grinder-without-organs/theatrical Panopticon
The Stage As Antiworld (2cd)
This double CD set includes an extended collaboration between The New Blockaders and Grinder-without-Organs, and two live recordings of anti-theatre premiered at Cafe OTO (London, UK) and Audio Foundation (Auckland, NZ). The set also includes a link to access a bonus film and extra, printable material. CD1 features 'Ein Glücklicherer Zufall: Genau Zu Lang' (translated: 'A Happier Accident: Exactly Too Long'), an hour-long part studio/part live collaboration between seminal anti-music stalwarts The New Blockaders, and purveyors of the absurd Grinder-without-Organs. 'Ein Glücklicherer Zufall...' shows a different side to TNB's trademark obliterating noise offensives with a more collaged, musique concrète approach. CD2 opens with G-w-O Live at Cafe OTO - "Showcasing a singer who has no voice, musicians who have no instruments, and a bandleader who has no direction." The set concludes with The Theatrical Panopticon - "A stage play performed in a void infected with accidental somniloquies."
