Philosophical, yet surreal; humorous, yet melancholy; minimalist,
yet multi-dimensional . . .
the conceptual and visual approach of this DVD collection can be
defined only by one phrase: "previously unused" !

THE DEATH OF DR. VAN DER HOVEN
A post-modern version of silent horror film performed in slightly brown
"black and white" abound with deliberately added imperfections, this
film utilizes captions to convey information. The increasingly insane
and disjointed manner of its editing is matched by improvised
experimental music by Pamela Zero and Herb Heinz.
GLASS AIR
A symbolic study of alienation, it offers extensive material for an
imaginative viewer, and reflects both the humor and the hopelessness of
life. S.B. Reda is obligatory enigmatic as the Walking Man, whose
presence underlines the love-hate relationship of two other characters
played by Mary Connery and A. Molotkov.
GHOSTS A
lush interpretation of a conceptual a'cappella recording by Pamela Zero,
this video, created in collaboration with A. Molotkov and S.B. Reda at
Discord Aggregate Studios, utilizes merge effects to sketch a vivid
illustration of a young girl's descent into madness and the world of
ghosts.
HOW TO LIVE IN
THE WORLD TODAY
This conceptual 22-minute music video
combines a sarcastic self-referential "how-to" audio by Herb Heinz
(previously affiliated with Discord Aggregate), with surreally evocative
imagery, leading to an ultimately controversial conclusion - the
infamous final scene! (To reveal more would be careless!)
BURNING HOT WATER OVER IRON PART 1
A
video devoid of video, which offers a verbal description of the events
that are supposed to be happening on the screen, and is narrated from
the point of view of the TV-set. Its ironic idea is to hypnotize the
viewer into watching a black screen while listening to an imaginative
avant-garde text combined with music. (Frighteningly, it works!)
BURNING HOT WATER OVER IRON PART 2
This part repeats
the text featured in Part 1 in the form of titles, instead of the spoken
voice. The positioning and the movement of titles mimic the events that
are being described.
