Σαν καινούρια σύνθεση είναι κορυφαία.Σαν κόνσεπτ και φιλοσοφία είναι συγκλονιστικό. Σαν δομή και εξέλιξη είναι αξιέπαινο. Κάθε ήχος,θόρυβος,μελωδία λέει τη δικιά του ιστορία.Σαν βίντεο δε πρόκειται για έργο Τέχνης..
Η Holly Herndon γράφοντας για την καινούρια της σύνθεση ''Home'' τα λέει καλύτερα από μας. Αντιγράφω όλο το δελτίο τύπου αλλά και την άποψη του σκηνοθέτη Metahaven.
Και τα δύο είναι κατατοπιστικά και κατανοητά .
Εδώ μιλάμε για ηλεκτρονική μουσική που ζεσταίνει ολοκληρωμένα και πλακέτες ολόκληρες....Ένα ουσιαστικά σπαρακτικό ηλεκτρονικό τραγούδι με την ρεαλιστική ψυχραιμία ρομποτ....Μην αγαπήσετε ποτέ το pc σας....
Holly :
«..For my debut album Movement, I communicated an intimacy with my laptop. It is my instrument, memory, and window to most people that I love. It is my Home.
The ongoing NSA revelations have fundamentally changed this relationship. I entrusted so much in my device. To learn this intimacy had been compromised felt like a grand betrayal. Is everything done privately on my laptop to be considered a public performance?
In "Home", I address that invisible audience. It is a love song for prying eyes (an agent / a critic), and also a break up song with the devices with which I shared a naive relationship. There is something dramatic, teenage and vulnerable to this sensation – our relationships with these interconnected devices are still so young, so naive.
As a culture, we are in a process of accelerated, and reluctant, maturation. We are attempting to reconcile the great emotional power of these technologies knowing that the more we welcome them into our lives, the more power they have to destabilize and hurt us...».
Metahaven :
«..The video for "Home" provides a visual counterpart to Holly’s uneasy relationship with the NSA agent. The NSA spying on our network may have been tacitly known from reports going back as far as 2002, but the aesthetics of this surveillance were not so known. Code names, acronyms, icons and graphics from a shadow world designed to never be publicly exposed.
For "Home," we created a data rain of these NSA symbols. The video sees Holly from two angles; one where she is facing the camera, singing, another where she is being photographed and appears as if under surveillance. This track grasps a balance between vulnerability and control.»
