Interessante a entrevista/artigo com Adam Curtis na FACT magazine, em particular esta referência que faz à banda Savages, que acaba por servir de explicação para outros tantos fenómenos musicais que pululam aos magotes em posts de Facebook durante pelo menos uma semana.
“I know everyone loves Savages but if you listen to Savages, they are archeologists! They are like those people in pith helmets who used to dig up the bones of Tutankhamun.
“Savages have gone back to the early 1980s and unearthed a concert of
Siouxsie Sioux or The Slits and literally replicated it note for note,
tone for tone, emotion for emotion. It’s like some strange curatorial
adventure. They’re not new. It’s good to go back into the past and take
something and reinterpret it and use it to push into the future but
they’re not doing that – they’re like robots.”
Percebo. Vi as (os?) Savages recentemente ao vivo e a Adam Curtis só faltou referir o vestuário. O que faz pensar na música não como "objecto-criativo" mas como "objecto-função".
Re-post, re-twitt, re-wind.
