Redruth Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Mordant Music - Misinformation Baron Mordant Explains The Process: "The cordial gentlemen of the BFI led me blindfolded onto the roof at the BFI HQ Stephen Street and left me propped against an obsolete Steenbeck with instructions to sniff my way to the nearest nitrate room, ruMMage through the VHS mountain and not leave until I'd misinformed at least one reel of usable DVD in earnest...in the midst of ruptured telecine transfers and squealing reels a selection of COI films, redolent to my youth, unearthed me and I duly smeared them with my detritus...I imagined sounds & characters leaving one film & cropping up in another and that's the way it eventually spooled...a narrative manifested itself and 'a return to the sea' would appear to be the iMMediate answer for future spores..." mordant music playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Mmmm intriguing. Not sure I'd buy it without knowing anything about it though - some sort of teaser trailer would be grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 just listen to previous mordant music! it's a ghost-boxy sort of thing I meant more the content of the DVD visually and structurally. I've got a couple of Mordant releases (and an hour megamix thing showcasing their stuff) so is this like a bunch of music videos or wha' ? The 18 cert also is intriguing especially as it's meant to be constructed of footage of the Central Office of Information - I wonder what strong content is in there ?

ola t Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 A review. The 18 cert is due to glue-sniffing, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well that review has pretty much sold it to me. Definitely gonna pick up a copy - I love British PIF style imagery from the 70s & 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I properly watched this for a second time this weekend - this time in a slightly brain altered state ..... It was insane, the longer two pieces (on prehistoric sites and the sea) were one of the most chilled out/intense (respectively) things I'd ever seen in my life. Flipping great DVD this is !
