Genre

Description

Digging deeper in generative peer music. Piano and strings are auto generated with peer lfo and peerscale. The soprano sax soundfont (in Jeskola XS-1) is played live with Relativion and my computer keyboard. The movie samples came from the movie "The element of crime" from Lars Von Triers. You can watch the movie in 6 parts at Dailymotion. First part is here : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6fv5n_the-element-of-crime-1-6_shortfilms
It's very raw, I just used some reverb.

Thanks honey bee Yes, von triers is now scandalous, but this movie is one of his first (if not the first) and is very strong estheticaly. I have to say that I dont know his filmography today. I have just seen his second movie called... Europa!! And it was a damn good one too, but slightly different even if visualy he keeps his touch. I dont care about scandals, there are mainly created by critics, not by artists.

Really interesting to know your thoughts about it. Yes, wiki says its first his work ! But his last 'scandal' appears is not due to critics, as I know! But due to this guy from one european country that shots at people as at paper.. I feel very ambiguous thouths and feelings about it, and about that Von Trier's film too. Dont you?

Ah yes, I see, I forgot this. Well, this have always been like that.
I mean, is Georges Orwell responsible of all dictatorships in the world because of his book 1984? Are artists responsible of how their fan react to their work ?
Not so long time ago some said that rock music makes listener becomes bad people, that video games are at the origin of the Columbine tragedy, that rappers encourage murdering, etc.
I dont think von triers is responsible of anything in this terrible tragedy. Same for the directors of 300 and Gladiator the two other movies this mad man said he liked a lot.
I think this madness and evil was in him, no matter what music, video games or film he liked. He liked it because he was like that. Not the opposite. He didnt becomes like that because he liked these stuff.

A pleasure for me to find out your thouts, thanks! Agreed, of course the artist is not absolutely responsible, but you know, I had read in one old soviet neuro-scientic book (actually many of psychological literature says something like this too) about 'conditional reflexes'. So. If you sit in your chair and listen that someone says to you :''lemon is damn acidic on taste!'', man, your mouth will salivation, no? Yes! And if we see a scenes of murder or something by TV our body reflects analogically - drops hormones (fear, sex, violence, hungry wish) injection in blood!

Now, lets look at tv, and press. what can we see?? Most mentally agressive things alot around: horror films, annoying commercials, bad terrible news (as result?). Day by day somebody unseenly provocates ''human race'' to overdose himself by a harmones of 'destruction'. That provocators as if know, that fever and ''heat of mind'' In people makes they more controllable and weak on one hand, and that on this weaknesses is easy to make a serious profit. But seems like this game goes to final: critical mass of brutal hormones in global consciousness already accumulated. I mean that may be madness of that guy is not only his own responsibility, but parents, artists, friends - it is real provocators TEMPTERS, and participators. From this point Im again recall ''The element of crime''. Umbiguous thoughts.. We need to find something to transform that accumulated potential from bad scenario to enough good! I need.
