Filmiküsitlus - Chris Zeischegg Chiildren´ist

Mõnus kui saadad filmiküsitlused lahedale välismaisele bändile ning siis saad mõlema kuti arvamused juba 7 tundi hiljem postkasti. Chad´i vastused läksid üles nädal tagasi, kusjuures selle kaudu avastasin mina ja mu sõber meile mõlemale meeldiva //TENSE// nimelise bändi. Nüüd vastab Chris ja mina soovitan Chiildren´i EP "The Other People". Vast ongi lemmikträkiks albumi nimilugu, sest on nende hittidega äge muidugi, eriti My Gods kogu oma eepilisuses, aga samavõrra üllatusi pakuvad just kolm tihenduseks surutud rada. Iga träkk pakuks justkui erinevat vaatenurka Chiildreni loomingule ja kui ka iga träki põhiselt on minu kõrva jaoks tegu erinevate stiilide suguga, on selleks siis minevikukõlaga tehasehelid, moodne ja noortepärane sünge popilikkus, valguv doomimassiiv, pungi räpasus, bigblackilik kidranoise või kaheksakümnendate kaugusest surisev sünt, siis ometigi pakub EP eraldi träkkidena veelgi laiemaid variatsioone. Jään igal juhul füüsilisel kujul täispikka albumit ootama, sest muusikas mehed sätivad kindlasti kogu bändi helikeele veelgi maitsekamalt pingesse ning tugevaid visuaale tootva ansamblina ei suuda netireliisi thumbnail kohe kindlasti mitte kogu kuvaliste ideede küllust ära kanda.

1. What movies and what kind of movies are you favorite ever? What movies have impressed you deeply?

My favorite movies combine a pleasurable or stimulating visual aesthetic with a viscerally intellectual concept. Usually something that is also transgressive in terms of traditional censorship. One of my favorite movies of the past decade is Taxidermia.

2. What was the last memorable movie you saw?

Like Chad, I also loved Spring Breakers. Most films that criticize pop culture either come from a place of moral superiority and end up feeling like an after-school special. Or they try to subvert it with opposing stylistic elements.

I think this is one of Korine's smartest movies because he does neither. Accepting the film requires one to hold two opposing ideas at the same time. Criticism and disgust, but also acceptance and embrace. Its style revels in every excess of contemporary pop/youth culture while maintaining the undertone of something horrific.

3. What kind of music/bands have you listened lately and feel happy to suggest?

One of my favorite artists right now is Author & Punisher. It's basically this one-man industrial metal project from a guy named Tristan Shone. He built this entirely new instrument out of actual industrial metal. Like the stuff you buy at some hardware store. Instead of just sitting behind a laptop and adding some guitar, he's literally playing a machine. When I think that music can't go anyplace new, I remind myself of this guy.

Thank you Chris!
