Classwar Karaoke

Operated by Adrian Beentjes (usa-uk), Anthony Donovan (uk) and Jaan Patterson (de), Classwar Karaoke is based around a series of ongoing quarterly surveys. Each act contributes a piece of music or film, an image, and a piece of writing.

As a project, classwar karaoke is based around a series of ongoing, quarterly surveys, the first of which, dubbed ‘0001 survey’, was released in May 2008. Each survey is different – in terms of personnel, number of personnel, and in terms of theme. Participation is fairly open – so long as those interested in being involved work intelligently within the broad context of experimental music and do not seek to use the project as just another on-line shop-window for their material. So far, the inclusive nature of classwar karaoke has worked wonderfully-well in terms of quality of material. See and hear for yourself by checking out our internet archive pages. Indeed, the label itself was envisaged, from the very start, as an experiment in the positive power which inclusivity can have upon artworking if included in meaningful ways. That said, we reserve the right to maintain the quality of both the art which is offered and the community from which it comes. Our ambitions for the label do not stop at periodic on-line releases. In the short time it has been running, we have already had  one  classwar  karaoke  live  showcase;  which  featured  as  0005  survey.  More  events  are  planned. Similarly, physical releases – of CDRs and DVDs – are forthcoming.

All material remains the property of the respective artists and is offered for free download in line with this license. The nine surveys published so far feature almost one-hundred artists, from all over the world; and the material in toto represents significant documentation of the experimental scene itself. Involvement in the project has helped spawn many fruitful collaborations, live-shows and a vibrant exchange of ideas; so much so that, for several repeat-participants, Classwar Karaoke is as much a collective as it is a mechanism for the release of new material.

La Société de Curiosités

Dans l’enjeu actuel d’un choix d’orientation culturelle collective à grande échelle vers la croyance ou bien vers l’intelligence, le projet Infact Paris/La Société de Curiosités, en engageant les pratiques de production et d’écoute dans des échanges plus divers et moins normés, emprunte des voies possibles. Il propose des façons de faire des nouveaux partages, d’autres configurations de places pour donner libre cours à des pratiques artistiques inhabituelles et transformer leur abord en une activité.

Luís Antero’s latest project named Out Level consists of a laptop, electric prepared guitar or field recordings. Having had 7 releases in several netlabels around the world, it is a project composed of many sounds from one lone man. Luís is originally from a small village at the foot of the Serra da Estrela Mountain range in Portugal where his musical influences fuse with his philosophical views as well as literary references.

« To discover Out Level is undoubtely an experience. More enjoyable for ones, less for otherones, all this sound universe touch us in the way as it interwines all a variety of aesthetic languages, that walk from a sight more close to indie and shoegazze, to all a universe of field recordings and idm, with a close contact to the new tendries of all the electronic music of germain alternative circuits […] » Tiago Morgado | XS Records

« O projecto Out Level nasceu da vontade de experimentar… de improvisar, tendo os livros, o cinema e a fotografia como cenários primordiais para a criação musical, a que se juntou mais tarde o universo da fonografia. O objectivo (se é que existe) é criar ambientes que consigam projectar o ouvinte para lá do mero exercício de ouvir música… Quase tudo é gravado ao primeiro take, partindo de uma velha premissa que Kerouac usava em relação à escrita. Só assim se deixa na música o momento…
