Serge Comte works with pictures, sounds and personalities
on a daily basis. Perhaps
because he began with video, he understood right away the dilemma between the
screen and
the loudspeaker. When he started arranging things on a computer it all became
even clearer:
data crisscross. We play sounds, sounds help pictures, pictures love texts
and texts kill us.
Given that he uses his two hands and both halves of his brain, he operates
a uniquely open
work, as every ‘mono spirit’ does.

Love Me again More- Vibrö 2
(track 09)
I was bored. They cut off all my favourite cable TV channels for lack of payment.
My Visa card
was empty once more. Animals, Sports and Music became coded. No more clearclean
TV
stuff, but a blur, noisy and rather more hypnotic world, My ‘télé’ starts
to talk beauty. Then
came Der Picknicker, one of my avatars who collects sounds from the streets
(rehearsals from
garages, original soundtracks from movie theatres, guitar solos from concert
halls) or
corrupted sound files found on computers. He decided to record this song from
the most
commercial TV video clips, and give it this name, one hand on the broken antenna,
hoping for
the message to be heard somewhere. |
