The Minimalest, Non-Factual, Argument for the Resurrection

Perhaps, the minimalest, non-factual argument in favor of the resurrection isn't a factual argument at all, but a philosophical one.Perhaps, the minimalest, non-factual argument in favor of the resurrection isn't a factual argument at all, but a philosoph

Thought to be the place of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem Israel The title of this piece is tongue-in-cheek, a play on the “minimal facts” evidence for the resurrection made famous by Gary Habermas. I don’t really have a killer piece of evidence that uses fewer facts (or no facts) that trumps all other arguments. But, maybe I got your attention! As often is the case, my…

Phauss — Audiodrome/Nya Sverige-Nothing But the Truth — (Room40)

Audiodrome by Phauss

Two well-presented reissues offer a welcome opportunity to revisit the mid-1990s work by the Swedish experimental duo Phauss. Carl Michael Von Hausswolff and Erik Pauser began their collaboration in the early 1980s after both relocated to Götenborg. After beginning by opening a gallery for art installations and performances, they soon took inspiration from the artists around them such as Leif Elggren and began their own sound experiments. These two albums explore the effects of time and place through field recordings and clever approaches to sound assemblage.

The first of these CDs, Audiodrome, is two separate but similar pieces, each about half an hour long, created using recordings from two journeys that Phauss took in 1983 and 1986. During both trips, the duo recorded audio and/or video at a random time every few days, no matter where they were or what was happening at the time. The recordings were then edited using the same approach, resulting in the audio presented here. It’s unclear why, but they’re offered in reverse order, with the later trip coming first. 

“Zürich – Zürich 1986” contains recordings from a trip starting and ending in Zürich via countries including Lebanon, Syria, India, Thailand and the U.S. The voices, street sounds, vehicles, distant announcements and coincidentally-spliced sounds blend into a new hallucinatory journey in which your brain creates connections and imagined places, floating through carnivals, markets and streets. This piece was also used as the soundtrack for a multi-display video installation, the Phauss Videodrome. 

The second piece, “Alger – Lagos 1983”, was constructed from recordings during an earlier trip from Algeria to Nigeria. This one contains more diverse and strident sounds, and by halfway through there’s an increased intensity, with some singing and instrumental strumming competing with background whistles, vehicles and other sounds demanding attention. It’s a stressful atmosphere, albeit offset by the joy communicated by the singing. There’s a period two-thirds in when everything’s overwhelmed by what may be an airplane engine revving up, an unwelcome intrusion by a symbol of industry. 

These are at root field recordings, of course, though edited and overlaid via a chance mechanism. The flow of sound creates audio portraits of places that don’t really exist, as if one could take several locations and place them atop one another to make a composite place. The interview in the book accompanying Nya Sverige mentions the duo’s connection with and debt to Gysin and Burroughs, properly situating these works with their literary and visual cut-up forebears. 

In truth, it’s a bit difficult to feel emotionally attached to these pieces. They’re too abstract, somehow, despite the clear origins in the real world. Listening, one feels like a detached observer, not like someone who’s personally involved in what’s happening. Perhaps that’s due to the way they’re constructed, to the nature of the sounds collected and used, or just from approaching the listening with certain expectations. It doesn’t take away from the intellectual appreciation, but listeners may find it challenging to develop a deeper connection. 

Nya Sverige - Nothing But The Truth by Phauss

The second release is Nya Sverige – Nothing But the Truth, a single hour-long piece both collected and created during Phauss’ 1990 tour of the U.S. Von Hausswolff and Pauser collected sounds in each city during the tour, adding them to the recordings from the previous cities. As a result, the audio became denser and more complex as the tour went on, but due to their processing the output was also increasingly abstract. This album is the final result after what the duo describe as being “messed up,” “re-generated,” and “finalised” in 1991. It’s nearly unrecognizable as something that started from field recordings. Having been fortunate enough to attend the San Francisco date of this tour, I really enjoyed the updated re-presentation here, both similar to yet different from my memories of the event. 

While Audiodrome left the original recordings untreated, though edited and mixed, Nya Sverige profoundly alters them, processing everything into a swirling cacophony of oceanic sound. It starts as a windy drone, building from near-silence to a noticeable gale over the first 13 minutes, at which point a sudden metallic clank breaks the drone. As the piece progresses, deep bass rumbles fade as everything goes nearly silent, then drones and noise return with voices dropping in and out, devolving into abstract crunching and scraping sounds. The listener can approach this as either a seemingly electronic music piece divorced from its origins, or as an intriguing puzzle, with elements of the recorded material tantalizingly offered here and there before being subsumed into the depths of sound. 

Both CDs are accompanied by small books that offer valuable background context and insights into the works. Audiodrome’s book is 42 pages of photographs from the journeys, providing a visual partner to the sound collages, while Nya Sverige contains a very informative interview with the band by Room 40 label head Lawrence English. Having both is recommended since the interview touches on both releases, as well as describing the artistic community in Götenborg that inspired and supported Phauss’ activities. As is typical of the label, the design and presentation are top-notch, and the attention to detail is especially appreciated for a project like this that’s bringing notable works from the past to today’s audiences. Those looking for adventurous listening will be rewarded.

AUDIO FILES ARE FINISHED. 4 YEAR PROJECT DONE

YES! YOU HEARD RIGHT! EVERY AUDIO FILE EXCEPT FOR A FEW. GUYS, please, if you run across something you like, like and reblog it! I worked so hard on these for years and lost money. Don't worry if something is "Old". This is an archive for YOU. USE IT. The ones NOT uploaded break tumblr's rules of content rules for racism. So, no no Bill or Micah being racist towards Charles, Javier etc. No Bill/Kieran audio. I don't feel comfortable with it and I don't want to be reported. Final one is Lenny's father's pocket watch story. It has so many triggers in it, I couldn't cut everything out without it being a mess. Finally, I did a poll and people voted that I write transcripts for all of the files that need it. So you WILL see some of them reblogged!

I have some tidbits I'll find and post! If you want an individual piece, let me know!

Boyd as Klaber in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

It's been a year since Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiered!

I went to see the movie on June 30, 2023 of course! By that time I've been Boyd's fan for only like a month, like I said in my 1-Year Anniversary of being Boyd's fan post. And obviously, I went to see Indiana Jones in the theater mainly because of Boyd! To see Boyd on a big screen! And then I went to see Indy again, for a second time on July 12. Two times, as well as The Bikeriders lately! I enjoyed watching Indiana Jones in the theater so much! Loved seeing Boyd on a big screen! Which means I should rewatch it again very soon. This movie also holds a special place in my heart.

I'm so proud of Boyd for being a part of such a huge project like Indiana Jones, along with so many amazing actors! And now The Bikeriders as well! So many awesome actors, huge project and I'm so happy for Boyd for being a part of The Bikeriders too! He totally deserves it, he deserves it so much! He also deserves much more lead roles and much more recognition! He deserves the best! Because he is the best! And I love him and admire him so much! He's such an exceptional talent! ❤️🌟
