A NEW WRONG ORDER Vol.VIII / PSICODELIA Y PARANOIA DESPUÉS DE LA ERA DE ACUARIO by Atomizador

(texto en español después del tracklist)

"Unlike general belief, the psychedelic revolution of the 60s did not die completely in the early 70s. In the mid-decade, artists and freaks on acid hangover, began another musical, artistic and counterinformative revolution that will end up being called Industrial Music in the UK and Europe, and something undetermined in the United States and other places on the planet.

Electronic music, chance, John Cage, Captain Beefheart, the strangest Zappa, Yoko Ono, found and invented instruments, raw sound poetry, much Eno... The cassette format spread this universe and allowed anyone with a lot of imagination and very few resources, to be able to express and share their ideas. This mixtape compiles 19 pieces of different subterranean projects from 1979 to 2018. Music recorded with homemade walkmans and multi-tracks, edited in humble cassettes and cd-rs, sonic rust, psychedelic negatives and a lot of imagination.

In my case, as HAZ, my graphic alter ego, I constantly integrate error in my art. My drawings are automatic, there are no sketches or prior preparation, so any errors that occur in the creative process (and always occur) I would have to integrate and transform them as part of the final result. As ATOMIZADOR, my musical persona, error is always part of the recording process, which always occurs very quickly and with few means. Integrating, and even praising error is necessary, since perfection does not exist and if it did, it would not allow movement. As Eno said in one of his most beautiful ideas: "Honor your mistake as a hidden intention".

1. ROBERTA EKLUND - Scarlet Park (1986) 2. DANIEL JOHNSTON - Grievances (1980) 3. MINÓY - Sspress (1991) 4. HARRY PUSSY - Chuck! (1997) 5. GIRLS ON FIRE - Florida (1983) 6. MONDE BRUITS - Do (1997) 7. SONS OF BITCHES - Rhyme_Elements (1986) 8. VOLVOX - Riboflavin Horror (2005) 9. THE DOO-DOOETTES - Schlagerzeit (Tolstoy's Anemic) (1982) 10. SHARON GAL - Black Lolly (2007) 11. SMEGMA - Happy Baby Rhumba (1988) 12. OMIT - The Final Call (1997) 13. CHRISTINE SHIELDS - Monkey Goes To The Moon (2001) 14. RICK POTTS - Yowl (1978) 15.

EMMERT - Autumn Arrow (2018)

Al contrario de lo que se piensa, la revolución psicodélica de los años 60 no murió del todo a principios de los 70. A mediados de esa década, artistas y freaks de resaca de ácido comienzan otra revolución musical, artística y contrainformativa que acabará llamándose Música Industrial en UK y Europa, y algo inclasificable en Estados Unidos y otros lugares del planeta.

Música electrónica, azar, John Cage, Captain Beefheart, el Zappa más extraño, Yoko Ono, instrumentos encontrados e inventados, poesía sonora cruda, mucho Eno... El formato cassette propag�� este universo y permitió que cualquiera con mucha imaginación y muy pocos medios pudiera expresar y compartir sus ideas. Esta mixtape recopila 19 piezas de diferentes proyectos subterráneos de 1979 a 2018. Música grabada con walkmans y multipistas caseros, editada en humildes cassettes y cd-rs, herrumbre sónica, negativos psicodélicos y muchísima imaginación.

En mi caso, como HAZ, mi álter ego gráfico, integro el error constantemente en mi arte. Mis dibujos son automáticos, no hay bocetos ni preparación previa, por lo que cualquier error que ocurre en el proceso creativo (y siempre ocurren) tengo que integrarlo y transformarlo en parte del resultado final. Como ATOMIZADOR, mi persona musical, el error forma siempre parte del proceso de grabación, que siempre se produce muy rápido y con pocos medios. Integrar, e incluso ensalzar el error, es necesario, ya que la perfección no existe y si lo hiciera, no permitiría el movimiento. Como decía Eno en una de sus ideas más bonitas: "Honor your mistake as a hidden intention"

If at first you don't succeed, celebrate Lisa Le Feuvre (2010, Tate Etc. issue 18: Spring)

All individuals know failure better than we might care to admit – failed romance, failed careers, failed politics, failed society, failed humanity, failed failures. What happens, though, when artists use failure to propose a resistant view of the world, when failure is released from being a judgmental term, and success deemed overrated? (...) To talk of failure more recently, however, is not only to draw on melancholic radical doubt, but to embrace possibility in the gap between intention and realisation. There is a pleasure in failure, and its potential, too.

A NEW WRONG ORDER Vol.VII / LA LUZ DEL POZO by Troya Modet

"Only with the light of your conscience you will be able to reflect in the retina of your ear the bottom of this well that you have decided to look out. Then you will see the purity of the spring water that comes from somewhere hidden underground. When throwing a stone, each one emits a different sound according to its depth. Each song, one well ... Each well, a state of concentration and a different mood"

A NEW WRONG ORDER Vol.VI by ALEX SILVA

A NEW WRONG ORDER Vol.VI / €??0? by Alex Silva

For many centuries, in the European musical culture there are rules and guidelines for composers, the so-called classical music. My beginnings in music were linked to punk, in fact I had a project (that has never come to light) called "proyectoerror", so the idea of discovering something totally new as a result of a "mistake" and observe it, fascinates me . When I finish a piece it is because I see in it a component of nature, of spirituality, something not perfect but with character, of something possibly seen as an error but interesting, of a unique time fraction...

That is how I make music right now, many times I start writing music and when I get bored I try to make mistakes consciously (either on rhythm, texture or form). I also work a lot with modular synthesizers (and applied software) in which there are innumerable functions and parameters to decompensate the perfection of sound waves or physical and mathematical commands that control sound, rhythm, melody...

When Pablo invited me to do a mixtape for A New Wrong Order, the first thing that came to my mind was to make a mix with raw electronic noisey sounds (which I think would be interesting), but I wanted to vary between styles and show a vision of pieces within a certain margin of error in textures and musical forms.

I include in it classics by Steve Reich (US), Todd Terje (NW) or Alva Noto (GER). Some abstract pieces by Aphex Twin (UK), Tom Boram (US) or Foodman (JP), and new composers such as Patrick McMinn (US) - who publishes cassette in Canadian Duck Tapes-, Smax (Pakistan) ... or precious songs by Suzanne Kraft (US) and Bullion (UK), but all of them with a non-perfect theme that in my opinion, is the basis of their identity."

Patrick McMinn "Day10" (Canadian Duck Tapes 2017) Lee Gamble "DTI" (PAN, 2012) Steve Reich "Tellihim" (ECM 1982) Oneohtrix Point Never "Describing Bodies" (Editions Mego, 2010) Craig Leon "She wears an hemispherical skull cap" (Takoma, 1981) Aphex Twin "Track16" (Mt Fuji Tape Warp 2017) Sculpture "Hackle Scam Populator" (Software 2012) Suzzanne Kraft "VI" (Running Back, 2013) Patrick McMinn "Day 12" (Canadian Duck Tapes 2017) Tom Boram "Track 3" (Ultra Violet Light 2016) James Ferraro "Sim" (Hippos in tanks, 2011) Foodman "Kiki" (Orange Milk, 2015) Pierre Moerlen "Arabesque Intro" (Arista 1979) Smax "Aslam Bahi" (Hidden Waves 2017) Todd Terje "Myggsommer" (Small Town Supersound, 2012) Patrick McMinn "Day 13" (Canadian Duck Tapes 2017) Alex Silva "NMS" (Unreleased) Alex Silva "String Theories" (Canadian Duck Tapes 2017) Bullion "Make a new mistake" (Deek Recordings, 2016) Alva Noto "Haloid Xerrox copy 1" (Raster Noton, 2007)

___________________________________

“El error, cuando no se habla de matemática, es subjetivo. El desorden y kaos también. El error es natural, es lo que caracteriza y da sentido a las cosas. Es el principio del descubrimiento en algún modo. El mecanismo de clasificación de nuestro cerebro está muy desarrollado y cuando recibimos algo que no está en nuestra clasificación nos produce un estado de perturbación. A algunas personas les pondrá de los nervios y otras simplemente observarán y harán de estos errores o equivocaciones su gusto, su experiencia vital o su personalidad.

En la cultura musical europea desde hace muchos siglos hay reglas y pautas para compositores, la llamada música clásica. Mis comienzos en música estuvieron ligados al punk, y de hecho tenia un proyecto (que nunca ha salido a la luz) llamado "proyectoerror", por lo que el tema de descubrir algo totalmente nuevo a raíz de una "equivocación" y observarlo, me apasiona. Cuando termino una pieza es porque veo en ella un componente de naturaleza, de espiritualidad, de algo no perfecto pero con carácter, de algo posiblemente visto como error pero interesante, de una fracción temporal irrepetible…

Es como hago música ahora mismo, me explico: muchas veces me pongo a escribir música y cuando me aburre intento hacer errores conscientemente (ya sean ritmicos, de textura o forma). También trabajo mucho con sintetizadores modulares (y software aplicado) en el que existen innumerables funciones y parámetros para descompensar la perfección de ondas sonoras u ordenes físicas y matemáticas que controlen el sonido, ritmo, melodía…

Cuando Pablo me encargo el mixtape para A New Wrong Order lo primero que me vino a la cabeza fue hacer un mix con sonidos crudos electrónicos ruidistas (que creo que sería interesante), pero creí más conveniente variar entre estilos y mostrar una selección de piezas con cierto margen de error en texturas y formas musicales.

En ella incluyo clásicos de Steve Reich (US), Todd Terje (NW) o Alva Noto (GER). Algunas piezas abstractas de Aphex Twin (UK), Tom Boram (US) o Foodman (JP), y de nuevos compositores como Patrick McMinn (US) -que edita cassette en Canadian Duck Tapes-, Smax (Pakistan)… o canciones preciosistas de Suzanne Kraft (US) y Bullion (UK), pero todas ellas con una temática no perfecta que en mi opinión es la base de su identidad."

2017/18 (EPIC) FALL OF THE TITANS  PAVILION for The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale

The distance between a lo-fidelity Goldberg machine and a dislexic amusement park. A choreography of the Wrong. An anatomic study of the Decline and the Fall of the Titans, like hackers high on stroboscopes. A digital mannerism enlightened by Cornelisz Van Haarlem and curated by Pablo Serret de Ena for The Wrong (New Digital Art) Biennale.

This Pavilion is a collective online artwork built around the idea of the fall and the wrong. It is made with submitted footage by the audience, edited and transformed by the curator into isolated animated gifs, then placed in the digital canvas. It is based in the painting "The Fall of the Titans" (1588-90) by Cornelisz Van Haarlem, exhibited at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. During these three months of Biennale, there will be several iterations of the piece.

OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS. SUBMIT BUTTON ON SITE POST FACEBOOK EVENT

This Pavilion is the first of several iterations of the piece. Nov 1st 2017 - Jan 31st 2018

No os preocupéis que lo voy a hacer fatal Langarita y Navarro (2017, La Dominación Mundial)

La Dominación Mundial presenta en su cuarto número, el proyecto “No os preocupéis que lo voy a hacer fatal”, de los arquitectos María Langarita y Víctor Navarro.

El proyecto consta de una serie de tres estampas en las que los autores plantean la combinación de dos elementos que, al unirse deberían dar lugar a una tercera imagen. Sin embargo, la unión de dichos elementos no es sencilla ya que una de las planchas contiene a su vez dos imágenes superpuestas. El menor desplazamiento a la hora de llevar a cabo la combinación revela bien una u otra imagen del trampantojo, bien una interferencia entre ambas.

"No os preocupéis que lo voy a hacer fatal" cuenta, además con un cameo de excepción, ya que el motivo de la portada ha sido creado especialmente para la ocasión por la artista Elena Alonso, siendo el primer paso de una colaboración entre la artista y el tándem Langarita y Navarro que tendrá continuidad en futuras páginas de La Dominación Mundial.

Aquí puedes acceder a las Notas en las que se basó la charla sobre el número y que, por un error de cálculo lumínico, no pudieron ser leidas en el acto.

A su presentación, se sumó Avalovara, club de escucha, que en su quinta edición dedicó su sesión a a la música errorista y a todas las incorrecciones accidentales o intencionadas que han inundado la historia de la creación. Aquí puedes escuchar las dos sesiones:

The independent Centre for the Less Good Idea Cristina Ruiz (2017, The Art Newspaper)

The South African artist William Kentridge has set up an arts foundation near his studio in Johannesburg, providing a “safe space for uncertainty, doubt, stupidity and, at times, failure”, he says.

The artist has called his foundation the Centre for the Less Good Idea—a reference to the process of creation, which often sees artists derailed from exploring their initial idea and focusing on “secondary ideas that emerge during the process of making”, he says.

Art after failure: an artistic manifesto from the city of Bangalore by IOCOSE (Ruffino P., Cremonesi M., Cuttica F., Prati D.) Originally published in Ghidini, M. and Kelton, T. (2015), Silicon Plateau Vol-1, T.A.J. Residency and SKE Projects, Bangalore: India. While interrogating our own artistic production, we want to define its style and ethos within what we tentatively name the Post Fail. As in Post Internet, here "post" means many different things at the same time. First, our art orbits around the after failure moment of the teleological narratives of technological development, in regards to both their enthusiastic and pessimistic visions. (...) What does it mean then, to be Post Fail? We propose a sort of manifesto, which also works as guideline and summary.

Xerrox (Carlsten Nicolai, Aesthetics of Error) Monica Ponzini (Digicult)

It is called Xerrox, it is inspired to the photocopy process, and it is a project that explores the borders of recognizability of an information. It is the last creation of Carsten Nicolai , a.k.a. alva noto . It is a live for laptop and video, where the original sampling is reproduced and varied, disturbed to create a product that shade off its characteristics without losing completely its identity. The result is a synaesthesia where noise and glitch transfigure the information to create a new code, that keeps some properties of the origin.

Why Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Colorado Project Succeeded Despite Its Failure  Adam Miner (2017, Hyperallergic) 

“Over the River” was about an idea, it was ephemeral, and it had to be destroyed to be desired; it had to fail. What better way to fail than to never exist at all? It was never about the sculpture, it was about the attempt. (...) It seems to me, however, directly engaged with institutional critique, early conceptual art, and conversations around labor, exchange, and negotiation. 

(in addition) “Christo’s team estimates the attraction would float more than $111 million into the local economy. They said it will add $3.4 million to the already vibrant rafting industry, create 620 temporary regional jobs, and bring more than 415,000 tourists to the area.”

Margins of Error Andrew Mercer (2016, Fact Tank Pew Research Center)

In presidential elections, even the smallest changes in horse-race poll results seem to become imbued with deep meaning. But they are often overstated. Pollsters disclose a margin of error so that consumers can have an understanding of how much precision they can reasonably expect. In other words, as is so often true in life, it’s complicated. Here are some tips on how to think about a poll’s margin of error and what it means for the different kinds of things we often try to learn from survey data.
