Press Release
TIMBER IS THE FINAL PART OF THE NATURAL RHYTHMS TRILOGY BY THE COLDCUT AND HEX COLLECTIVE, WITH STUART
WARREN
It was inspired by the possibilities of video sampling, as demonstrated by the work of other media hackers such as Steinski, Emergency Broadcast Network and Lucky People Centre. Their tape-edited pieces with simultaneous cutting-up of audio and video in a fun and funky style were clearly
related to Coldcut's and other early samplers use of sound. Timber is the next step.
In Timber all sound components are linked to their video sources. Whole rhythms have been painstakingly edited out of individual beats and video frames. The result: an intimacy of sensory stimulation that is compelling and hypnotic. Check the chain saw solo!
Timber has been a high point of the Coldcut & Hex live show for which they designed their own VJ/DJ software, allowing creation of real time (i.e. live) 'remixed Televsion'. Video can now be jammed or scratched with as easily as sound, and the generally gob-smacked reactions to the recent 30
date tour has confirmed this direction. Timber is a protest song. Its creators, like all 'intelligent' beings, are concerned by our abuse of the Biosphere and its lifeforms. Timber is an attempt to voice these concerns in an effective way, using direct sensory communication rather than words...
Footage for Timber was made available by Greenpeace who are campaigning for an end to industrial logging in the world's last temperate rainforests in Canada and for protection for tropical rainforests. The largest threat to ancient forests comes from the logging industry, both directly because of the
damaging effect of roads and logging, and indirectly as the forest is opened up to hunting, fuel-wood gathering, agricultural clearing, energy companies (oil, gas, dams) and the mining industry. Over the last six years, campaigning has focused on old growth forest areas in Western Canada and Russia; the UK is Europe's largest importer of rainforest timber from Canada, buying about 240,000 cubic metres of timber annually. British paper mills and industrial pulp users also import around 160,000 tonnes of rainforest wood pulp from Canada every year.
The release of Timber contains versions from various top bods. The logikal invention of video remixing was done via afore-mentioned influencers EBN+LPC, with Clifford Gilberto and Gnomadic also doing versions. There are also audio remixes by As One (Kirk Di Giorgio), Bundy K Brown, Journeyman, DK, Quant, Future 3, and Clifford Gilberto. But we're not telling which is which on these promos. If you think you can, fill in a reaction sheet and send it back- you could win a valubleless prize.
Videos remixers EBN, Lucky People Centre, Clifford Gilberto and Protean Vision Quest come from experienced and varied backgrounds. EBN have been together for nearly 10 years and have been involved in multi channel video displays and mutimedia installations featuring large mechanical
sculptures. They released 'Telecommunication Breakdown' in '95, their first full length recording featuring 20 tracks and three EBN videos, and have worked with U2. Lucky People Centre are a collective of film mixers and makers from Gothenburg, Sweden. They are pioneers of video sampling and manipulation techniques and one of them is a brain surgeon. Cut it up. Protean Vision Quest are 3D audiovisual artists based in Brighton, they are responsible for the excellent video for 'Music For No Musicians' on the 'Let Us Play' CD-Rom. They have recently released a video called 'Ancient Alien' which is an amazing visual collection of 'other world' experiences represented through phantastic 3D graphics and sounds by Gnomadic. The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination are a digital band specialising in junk jazz classics. They are based in Frankfurt, Germany. Their leader Clifford Gilberto (aka Florian Schmitt) is a video and film editor by day and their album is forthcoming on Ninja. They have remixed the track and the video which was directed by Jean Damien Charriere.
