The Discombobulators

by LIANA FLU WINKS

Lable and cat. nr. ; Z6 0994
Distribution; CD Baby

The origins of this CD lie in the 'Liana Celluloid' project, a collaboration between Liana Flu Winks and various film makers (Joost van Veen and Martha Colburn among others) in which, for once, the music came before the film, rather than the other way round.

The result of this was that even during composition the cinematic atmosphere was created musically, and the music needed the accompanying films less and less; hence its presentation now as the 'usual' collection of numbers that make up an album, rather than (for example) a DVD production.

Each number is like a short film, with its own atmosphere, plot development and dénouement.
The music is multifarious, with a light touch of lo-fi (which nowadays refers less to recording on an old cassette machine with a broken Phillips microphone and more to a method of mixing and mastering that doesn't use much compression or radically alter the sound of what was originally played).
Genres; Blaxploitation, Cult & Horror, Expensive Abstract Art, Cheap Soapy Trash, Rockumentary, Baroque Dub, Fake Documentaries. Etc…

here's a song from the album; How i lost my eyeball
