Gate33 is a female UK based multimedia artist. Scribble Season is her latest offering, nine terse gobbets of sheer art noise samples. At times, as on "Edit,Undo", the sonic assault is more tedious than traumatic, like having your ears syringed with wet clay. But then, the gruelling relentlessness and tonnage of "Almas No Existe?" breaks through the hackles of your impatience like lava. More fun, however, are those tracks on which she deploys samples, however abruptly curtailed. "Edith Gabba" features a cheerful flurry of 40’s jazz sax that is quite gratuitously marmalised by an ancient blast of dusted-down Gabba, while Gate33 continues her pathological grudge against MOR on "Carpe Dieme", in which a light entertainment combo are annihilated instantaneously by laborotary-processed volleys of electronics. Most interesting of all is the relatively accessible "The Astrophysicist", in which she constructs a musical equivalent of the Atomium in Brussels around a taped chat with an astrophysicist, who, when asked how science crosses over into music replies, blankly, "It doesnt". - THE WIRE (UK) ************

Stayed up Half the night again playing Tragically Etiolated Weevil-Piss-Drop of a Life 2 as such I have managed to assiduously avoid anything taxing. Did you know alien zombies cry when they are set alight? Its important that we know this
I think I have had an epiphany as to what Pat Kane deems 'interpassive' entertainment...stayed up allnight again playing 'Rome: Totalitarian War' - or some such of course I'm always Carthage, Yes that's right:- HOT DIDO ACTION ALL NIGHT LONG - I think when it is only when one is shouting at the screen/oneself: "GOOD GOD MAN! DON'T be a FOOL!! - YOU DON'T HAVE THE ELEPHANTS!!!" that you have to realise you have a problem...
Just to let you know, i'm going to be in Berlin next week with my new exhibition "Face Invasion" - it would be great if you could come along to the opening night and have a beer!
The exhibition will be running till the 5th May, so you can come along during the opening times in the week too! -
It'd be really great to see you if you are in town,
"Shamanism is not a religion, it's a set of techniques, and the principal technique is the use of psychedelic plants. What psychedelics do is they dissolve boundaries, and in the presence of dissolved boundaries, one cannot continue to close one's eyes to the ruination of the earth, the poisoning of the seas, and the consequences of two thousand years of unchallenged dominator culture, based on monotheism, hatred of nature, suppression of the female, and so forth and so on. So, what shamans have to do is act as exemplars, by making this cosmic journey to the domain of the Gaian ideas, and then bringing them back in the form of art to the struggle to save the world." - Terence McKenna
