RECORDINGS:
KlangMutationen - Session Zero [lam'i-nal records] [2006]
"Klangmutationen is obviously a German word -- Teutonic flatulence at its best. But it could also mean, admittedly of a strange logic (or illogic), a bunch of
devilishly handsome Ah Bengs from Klang interested in "Mutationen"
(that is Hokkien for metamorphosis Tetsuo or Ultra-man style).
If that bullshit was not helpful at all in convincing you to buy this release,
then these references might:
Khanate's Capture and Release, Masayoshi Urabe, Kaoru Abe, Alvin Lucier,
Masayuki Takayanagi, Naked City's L'eng T'che, the Blue Humans"

Studio In Cheras Kuala Lumpur (SiCKL) is a non-profit, artists-run private studio. It was founded in April 2006 on the faded trails of former studio space N'Desir in Maluri and the Monkee Studio in inner Cheras. From month to month SiCKL will push forward events that will not exactly fall into expected norms, whether these norms be popular, unpopular, rigid, experimental, fringe, inside or outside. SiCKL encourages and celebrates daring and irrepressibleworks in film, video, poetry, music, performance and visual arts.
