COMMUNIST—TOTALIST INFRASTRUCTURE

    Iggy Pop about The Stoogees: »We were real communists. We lived in a communal house, we ate the same food at the same time, we shared all money, and when we began to write songs, we shared all authorship.«



cells in every city

    live work and play together

    spawn!
    replicate!



fluid crews

    all noise is scored

    anyone can reproduce & re-interpret

    jump in
    play whatever part
    replace and be replaced



big sound

    parts multiplicated by a bunch of people

    balance out "mistakes"
        (Branca symphonics)

    massive amplification

    silent raves



fuck spaces

https://dcht00.totalism.org/slayer_abyss2.gif


    operate anywhere and everywhere
        (fully nomadic gear)

    rent, borrow, mutualize, occupy
    in nature, rural, cities

    ruins on desertified fields,
    postsocialist bomb shelters,
    abandoned factories & mine shafts,
    forest clearings,
    on fiberglass boats,
    in volcano calderas,
    inherited dachas,
    squatted pools

    practice, perform, organize, store stuff, live there



fuck gear

    nomadic, distributed, loud
        (Lithium battery arrays, Class D amps)

    mostly common-owned and maintained

    never tour with much of anything

    play what's available - cheap, modified, "beater"

    learn to build, destroy and fix everything



fuck touring

    people move and stay together,
    practice different works with different cells

    all gear is already everywhere

    gigs are everywhere and all the time

    smaller ad hoc consolidating to bigger units

    our cars, vans, trucks, buses, and boats



play

    canonical organised guitar noise

    serialist, post-serialist, minimalist, postminimalist

    jam / noodle / boogie

    infrastructurally make new work possible

    research and practice compositional patterns



converge

    regular spontaneous festive situations



have a couple of drinks
#### "Usually i wake up pretty depressed in the morning ... mnysk ... "



perpetual crisis

    places to gig, whatever ever before, now probably gone too

    you need to isolate, separated from your bandmates

    no more jobs, you can't pay rent, you're selling your amps

    your bandmates stopped playing too because they can't afford it



fuck capitalism



SUMMON NOISE TEMPLES
