SAKHIRI , A MULTIMEDIA CREATION, 2005

In 2005 DR FLOY and SUMATHI worked on SAKHIRI, an electro-acoustic multimedia performance crossing genders.A musical creation built out of a poetic research exploring gender issues, human rights andsexual minorities’ rights, making space for our multiple voices; exploring pain, joy, love and celebrating our lives through multimedia artistic expression.5 shows of “Sakhi Ri” were presented at the Alliances françaises of Bangalore, Pune, and Bombay, India, in March-April 2005. The performance toured along with the involved artists and participants to the workshops.....

An interaction between electric, electronic, and traditional music...Electronic treatments, beats, experimental soundscapes , Hindustani classical alaaps and ragas, sculpting themes and emotions, and building ,around an intimate fluid relation between sound compositions and video art, intricate narratives dealing with the particularity of the hijra context, dissonance and gender de/construction as well as universal emotions. The show includes a live performance of audio and video pieces.....

After collecting material through various meetings and workshops with members of the Hijra community (traditional transexual community of India) and gender variants individuals for the time of a residency in Bangalore, the artists present different music compositions where live electronics treat and transfigure the collected sources, testimonies and poems, while poetry is performed and sung, interacting with video.....

.. ..

How can experimental soundscapes, treatments and classical vocals deal together?..

How can music, poetry, and video reveal, attract or repel each other?..

What kind of meaning or sensations appear through?....

How is gender constructed by artists, art, music, electronics, visuals, poetry, images, by people,....

by mainstream people?....

What about people who transgress the borders?....

Has Creation to do with creating one’s own life, one’s own gender?....

What creative potential lies in being “in the margins”?....

Bienvenu a la Régence le samedi 17 octobre, pour une soirée avec le collectif HOLLOWGRAM au complet, pour un son progressif venu du sud-ouest.
, avec un programme inconnu sur la region parisienne.

Nous commenceront avec WEETALIFE, un dj parisien issu de la tribe et du mouvement free party, qui nous roderas les oreilles avec un set acid-tekno.

On continuras avec EB, réçement membre d' Hollowgram, ancien batteur rock reconverti dans la tekno, qui nous feras vibrer la tete avec un set entre la tekno et le breakbeat.

Ensuite, il y auras KICK, producteur pour Aliens/Hollowgram records et technicien de studio a ses heures, qui nous feras remonter dans le temp avec un set old-scool qui va de la tribe a la hardtekore.

Plus tard, nous auront AUREL, producteur et label manager d' Aliens records (le Diable au Corp), et créateur du label Hollowgram records, nous feras rotir a la broche les tympants, en jouant un LIVE hardfloor/hardcore.

Et pour finir, KTU, dj tekno depuis 95, finiras le travail avec un set hardcore/breakcore qui nous retourneras le cerveau.

Des invités seront aussi au rendez-vous, pour completer ce line up qui finiras aux aurores.


Du son, du son, du son, voila ce qu' il y a au programme pour un collectif motivé qui veux se faire entendre!!!

J'adore " go in search for sunrise ", un morceau de 9minutes 30, certain que c'est à contre courant de la manie du clic toutes les 20 secondes, j'adore comme le morceau est construit et grandit peu à peu, en prenant son temps. Que disent les textes ? Et y a t'il un ragga pour le lever du soleil?
peace,
