TERRE THAEMLITZ (JP) // LOVEBOMBTHU 22 APRIL // 19h30 // MNAC
A/V presentation + Q&A
Queer theorist, house maven and abstract audio scientist, Rokolectiv’s special guest Terre Thaemlitz will open this year’s festival with an audio-video presentation of his Lovebomb project. On 2003’s Lovebomb released on Mille Plateaux, Thaemlitz deconstructed love songs and political texts, recontextualizing the meaning of love by examining how it’s used in the destruction of humanity.
Terre’s lecture is a critical analysis of the destructive functions of spirituality, religion and “soul” in the music marketplace: “The beat. The global dancefloor. What a senseless territorial claim. Like any other nation, the House Nation uses a barrage of “love” samples to drown out financial rip-offs, sour deals, embezzlement, exploitation, drugs and organized crime. I do not mean to imply all venue owners, promoters, organizers, performers or others are criminal minded. To the contrary, I submit myself to the generosity and thoughtfulness of many good persons motivated by their various visions of community building. But like taking a controlled substance, the pleasuring vision quest is complicit with an act of imprisoning corruption. The club scene’s deafening plea to “love one another” cannot be separated from the muffled ambiance of happenings behind closed doors.” www.comatonse.com/writings/lovebomb

Even when I first moved to New York in ‘86 there were no genre-consistent “House Parties.” House Music was not a genre, it was the records owned by the club — by the House — and that meant a lot of old disco and other things collected over the years. J.M. Silk’s “I Can’t Turn Around” and LL Cool J’s “Rock The Bells” were two of the biggest house hits when I arrived in NYC, and I doubt anyone would mix those in the same set today, the tempos are all wrong, the genres are wrong…. LL Cool J as house? But yes, in that moment, it was. That’s how my ears were trained, I guess. There are some things that really are generational. Like, there are many young Japanese DJs in their late 20’s with amazing collections of classic NY deep house from the late ’80s and early ’90s — much better than my own record collection in that sense — but they are missing the LOSER TRACKS! The embarrassing tracks that SUCK SHIT! Reality was not going to a club and hearing classics all night. Reality was hearing that one fucking amazing cut in the middle of hours of shit. I try to bring that dynamic to all of my sets.” TT
