This CD/DVD pack presents different if intimately related aspects of the work by this orchestra. The interaction between languages –concrete, noise, electronics, music samples- presents, in the level of sound, an approach dominated by a collage aesthetic of clearly differentiated materials, which blends with the realm of image through the referential character of ideas heavily relying on pop, introducing elements of metacompositional ascendancy that encompass both mediums. The flow, punctuated by Debords’ words – heard through pop lyrics/seen as interstitial silent movie titles -, like a conceptual Karaoke (DVD), hints at the premises supporting the whole project.
