I see Cleveland trio Emeralds (you might remember their video Candy Shoppe) played the Unsound Festival New York last week, they teamed up with Alan Howarth (composer of the electronic soundtracks from films like Poltergeist, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and John Carpenter projects like Escape from New York and Halloween) for a collaboration based on the frequencies detected in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Flexipop (Not The Magazine) - “The introduction of the synthesizer gave PoMo bands the means to replay the history of rock ‘n’ roll with the authenticity knob turned down low…The interpretation of the past in minimal synth - empty of consumerist desire through technological means that rendered it cold and repetitive - seems to go against Debord’s analysis of popular culture’s attachment to the past. In fact, Debord’s critique itself, because of the changes in manufacturing discussed here and their influence on culture, has become a sort of style in its own right. To be cool in post-Fordist times means not to direct your consumerist desire towards a particular product or a particular moment in history, but to be able to view time, place and culture as flexible systems which can be customised at will.”
