And the glitch goes on...and on...and on...and on...

Infinite Glitch is an automated system that generates an ever-changing audio/video stream from the constantly increasing mass of media files freely available on the web. Source audio and video files are ripped from a variety of popular media hosting sites, torn apart, and recombined using collage and glitch techniques to create an organic, chaotic flood of sensory input.

Quietus Mix 008: Chris & Cosey

"If we were running a chart of all the artists featured on the Quietus mix series, out ahead of the pack in terms of frequency of inclusion would be Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. The past few months have seen not only Optimo's vinyl reissue of Carter's brilliant The Space Between, but also four Chris & Cosey LPS originally released in the early 80s, Heartbeat, Trance, Songs Of Love & Lust and Exotika. February 4th will see their first performance in years at Richard D Clouston's Cosey Club at the ICA, supported by Factory Floor. There, they promise "classic C&C tracks from their substantial back catalogue, reworked and accompanied by mash-ups of new and old C&C video projections." It's surely set to be just one more step on their music reaching a far wider, contemporary audience. We're therefore honoured that Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti have compiled Number Eight in the Quietus mix series. As well as their own music and remixes, including Liars, Factory Floor and Throbbing Gristle reworkings, Chris & Cosey guide us through electronica and beyond, from Karl Bartos to Sasha Grey's aTelecine; Alva Noto & Blixa Bargeld's ANbb, Colder, Plastikman and more.."

Dead

"Depending on how your ears work, Musical Abortions is either the worst Death Metal demo, or the best power electronics tape of all time. This was the project of Jim Coker of Brutality, Ulcer, Nasty Savage, and every noteworthy band in the Tampa Bay Area. Operating under the name Mucus Shitslime and joined by Belching Snotsucker, Vomit Puslicker, and Diarrhea Maggot, Mr. Coker created a torturous twenty minutes of white noise, demonic gurgles and over-the-top guitar soloing. Clearly this was a joke, but this is nastiness that will sate fans of Whitehouse AND Mortician...

The Dream is a Second Life

The Dream is a second life. Never can I pass without a shudder through those gates of ivory or horn which separate us from the invisible world. The first moments of sleep are the counterpart of death: a kind of nebulous sluggishness paralyzes our thinking, and at some instant which we cannot precisely determine, the self, in another form, continues the work of our existence. This is a kind of subterranean realm which is gradually illumined, and where the pale, grave, immobile figures who inhabit the land of limbo emerge from shadows and darkness. Then the tableau takes form, and a new kind of light illuminates and sets in motion these bizarre apparitions; the world of the Spirits is opening to us.
