Holy gently caress that is a horror movie - and everything an industrial music video should be. Wow.

I don't think I've seen anything that good since Skinny Puppy's old videos. Just reality in your face.

On a lighter note, I love this new Blutengel song and Chris Pohl is super hot:

Not a popular opinion, but I gotta say I'm over the whole "industrial music video made up of borrowed film clips" thing. And here's why:

I think Skinny Puppy did it as a unique thing 20 years ago with Worlock. Took Ogre days of editing on an old VHS editor (and gawd those things are tricky) and at the time it worked as a cool homage to lesser-known horror and also a statement against censorship that they were up against at the time. Also while bands like Ministry and NIN did use stock footage, they also spliced in their own filmed-scenes to make it their own.

Today I feel it's simply being lazy. Because you can do SOOOO much more in 2014 with just a computer and a local film-graduate willing to work on a budget. Sky is the limit. FX can be done on any modern computer. Actors/actresses are willing to work cheap (Free actually, but I recommend compensating people, always) and even animators will work with most low budgets. You can use online forums/craigslist/internets to pretty much find anyone skilled at doing anything in the visual arts and commission them. Again, your own imagination is the limit. This was a genre made up of alot of very creative and unique videos, and rarely today do I see much original that isn't clips from popular films edited in 20-minutes on a laptop with the bands logo at the beginning.

Fake edit; This isn't a stab at 3teeth or anyone in particular. Just a rant. If anything, I wish many of these new bands would make an original video cause their awesome music deserves something original.

Went to see VNV Nation again last night. It was at an outdoor venue in Austin in perfect weather. I have to say those shows have the most positive feel-good vibes out there. Okay seeing them outdoors in great weather was excellent.

At the same time, their new material kind of sucks. It's not bad. But it's like the goth-pop version of U2 now.

I'm officially one of the old guys who was disappointed they didn't play enough of the old stuff.

I completely agree with this. Also if you do end up using footage you didn't shoot please don't rip off poo poo you don't have rights to. It's the same as if someone ripped off your music and put it in their video or game. There's royalty free content out there but in the end you're better off shooting your own poo poo or hiring someone to do it.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
Figure this is the best place to ask this but I have a question about Chu Ishikawa.* He was a regular composer for Takashi Miike's various action/comedy movies in the nineties. Except for a particular one titled Full Metal Yakuza. The music credit for this movie goes to "Sound Kid's Corp." However, it sounds basically exactly like a Chu Ishikawa soundtrack.


So who is Sound Kid's Corp.? When I look around for information on them, even on Japanese websites I learn that these are the only things they ever did music/sound design on:
King's Field (1994)
King's Field 2 (1995, both of these are old Playstation 1 adventure games)
Full Metal Yakuza (1997, directed by Takashi Miike)
Burnout (2001, a racing game for the PS2, XBox and Gamecube)


So I guess what I'm asking, is did Chu Ishikawa slum it briefly in the mid nineties via this Sound Kid's Corp group? Was Sound Kid's Corp. just some people who were big fans of his stuff? It seems like a weird stylistic intersection and a weird gap between work for "Sound Kid's Corp."


As an example this movie Chu Ishikawa scored is from 1989 but its music is literally 90sdungeoncrawlervideogame.wav http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z10AlFDQfY

Listen to this track he did for Tokyo Fist in 1995: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAQyFq5Xdo8 , slow it down a bit and... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDapXvnjAhI

Am I drawing at straws with this?




*For anyone not familiar, basically he was an industrial composer throughout the mid-nineties in Japan. He also does various film soundtracks to this day (mostly for Takashi Miike and Shinya Tsukamoto). The two groups he founded/did the most with are Der Eisenfost and Zeitlich Vergelter

I'll agree that the technical competence and craft side is hard - and should be, because wanting and striving to learn your craft is the bit where you show dedication to your art - but for some lucky people being original and visionary comes easily. Or at least seems to come.

edit: The idea of "technical competence" is pretty fuzzy, though. What if someone's art isn't on some kind of vague "standard" level of technical competence, but sounds and looks and feels exactly like they wanted it to? I do agree that it often requires some skill in your craft to be able to get the kind of results you want, but it's not always necessary. Lots of great things have been made by accident.

I definitely think someone like Wesley Willis was absolutely an artist and whatever he made was most certainly art, even though his stuff was probably never on a level a random passer-by would call "technically competent". But it was as real as art gets, and authentic as all hell. Maybe being schizophrenic was both the easy and the hard part of making art for him - hard in that hey, dude had loving schizophrenia, but easy in that originality was second nature to him.

edit2: I'm also hesitant to call anyone's art "not-art" if it's something that comes out of their hearts and they're truly putting everything they've got into it. It might be terrible (see: many of the webcomics in the terrible webcomics thread in GBS), sure, but it can still be art. Who are we to say someone's creation isn't art if they see it as art themselves?

It's probably already been mentioned multiple times in here but I've noticed a lot of this dark industrial dance music tends to share a fair whack of common ground with techno (which to most people is a bad word it seems). I grew up on metal and industrial and then branched out into mostly electronic stuff (I blame having an older sister who in the 80s played nothing but synthy pop tunes on her stereo) so I've heard an awful lot of stuff, a lot of it not that great but some stuff is gold.

I never gave this album time on release at the back end of last year, I kept meaning to get around to picking it up but I never did. Recently a friend gave me his CD copy (which looks lush) because he's a vinyl nerd and I've had it playing on rotation for the past 3 weeks. As I mentioned I used to listen to some industrial dance stuff so I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard from this typically 'techno' producer.

I've always thought that art is best thought of as an interaction between the viewer and the object, be it image/video/performance/whatever, rather than an intrinsic property and I'd argue therefore others aren't in a position to deny what constitutes art to another. I think the real shame is that not enough industrial bands release videos fullstop.

Can someone list the videos made up of borrowed film clips? I actually can't think of that many.

After consulting council and looking at all possible options, we sadly have to close down Kinetik Productions and put an end to the Kinetik Festival.

For everyone that knows me more personally, you know that the Kinetik Festival has been my ‘’life’’ for more than 8 years and it is with no small consideration or regret that I put an end to this project. But with the threat of the ongoing issue, it was now more than possible that the 7.0 couldn't happen next May. We are aware of the effect this could have on people traveling to the festival and on all the fans that will not be able to see the bands that were booked for Kinetik 7.0, but we want to ensure that we are capable of issuing refunds on all the online tickets purchases, so our only option was canceling Kinetik now. We are not a ''big'' productions company like in mainstream music; being a non profit company, the one and only event that we produce is the Kinetik Festival, and tickets sales have always been the only source of income. We hope you will understand that this was the best and only way to get out of this terrible situation, while still being able to refund everyone in the shortest period possible.

This ongoing situation has nothing to do with the Toronto venue and or with the Kinetik Festival partners that have shown nothing but full support for the festival. We are also presently working with some partners in Toronto so some of the shows (the ones that were part of tours) still happen and that Toronto fans still have a chance to see those excellent bands. We will post more about this as soon we have more information about it.

Refunds will start today, going backward month by month, since paypal offers full refunds on the newest transactions. When we are at the transactions not covered by the paypal full refund, we will contact you so you can confirm that we can issue refunds on the original transaction via your original transaction record. We will post updates here on the Facebook page to inform you where we are up to with the refunds. Be sure to look in your inbox for an email from ''sales@festival-kinetik.net'' to be sure to receive your refund.

Once again, this is really not our hope for how the 7.0 edition would turn out, and we hope that you will understand that this action is a last recourse after considering many options.

It goes without saying, but I wonder what happened. I'm not really disappointed per se because I wouldn't be surprised if many of the bands I wanted to see will end up playing here anyway, and probably for a lot cheaper and at better venues. I just feel really bad for the organisers.
