SRMEIXNER
THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE VIEWER CD

From the ashes of leading experimental outfit Contrastate comes the
self-named srmeixner project. Stephen Meixner was one half of the driving
force behind Contrastate until their demise five years ago, and his latest
project is a vehicle for him and various collaborators; the line-up is ever
changing, with Stephen calling on whoever he feels is right for the music he
is working on at any particular time.

Few acts working in the area of electronics/experimental music come close to
achieving the richness and diversity that srmeixner creates. Live
electronics and field recordings are utilised to create a sonic soundtrack
to an apocalyptic world, and this is the logical step on from the music that
Contrastate created.

After a few singles and the 2003 debut album "Between the Lines" on the
prestigious label Dirter Promotions, we are proud to present "The
Dictatorship of the Viewer" - inspired by the 2003 Venice Biennale. The core
of this track was initially composed and structured together with Adrian
Morris as a live piece which was first performed February 2004 in ondon and
then later extended, added to and re-worked.

PRAYER CUSHIONS OF THE FLESH

From November 21, Fin de Siecle Media will stock this interesting British
short silent film. Directed by Magnus Irvin and Ray McNeill with soundtrack
composed by Caesar Romero (which hopefully will be released on Fin de Siècle
Media soon), it's an adaptation of Robert Irwin's erotic and perverse novel
about a young sultan's sexual rites of passage with the royal harem. The
bored young women have formed a secret society and plan to sacrifice the
sultan after a series of sexually explicit rituals. You can expect a dark,
decadent and surreal journey into the sexual underworld. The film is shot in
b/w and mixes live footage with remarkable animations. More info can be
found at:

If you live in London, you can see this film on big screen next week at this
event:
