Action! Musique...

Ao preparar duas linhas para falar da 25ª edição do Musique Action, mergulho no site do festival e entro quase por acaso na caixinha de recordações... surpresa... os meus amigos de Vandoeuvre-Lés-Nancy colaram no site um postalito que lhe tinha enviado em Abril de 1997!


Há mais de uma década que vamos deitando o olho à programação de um dos mais importantes pólos de promoção e divulgação das músicas vivas. Na velha Europa e no mundo, cada vez mais pequeno.

Há 25 anos que o cartaz é sempre enorme. Uma fonte de descobertas fascinantes. Uma plataforma para encontros e re-encontros, numa rede de colaborações em expansão permanente. O exercício da impossibilidade - destacar nomes da programação da edição de 30 de Abril a 11 de Maio:

** HEIKE LISS - instalação sobre a música de Fred Frith

Action, please! And more good Musique!

Merci, Dominique!

Iain McKell, "New Gypsies"

"Historically despised the new Gypsies are there by choice, not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma, the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists, living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans."

New Order - Video 5-8-6 [Extended 22:23 version]

“Video 5 8 6” is a song originally composed as “pap” (as Tony Wilson put it) for the opening night of the Haçienda on May 21, 1982. Parts of this pearl would become the basis for the Power, Corruption & Lies tracks “5 8 6” and “Ultraviolence”, as well as the associated 12-inch single “Blue Monday”.
