bulgaria

I went to Bulgaria once

When I was six

I only remember a few things

One was getting told off by a german lady

I think she was german

Maybe she wasn’t

Maybe she was Austrian

But then again

I don’t think I was any good at distinguishing accents

At the age of six

I was good at running around

pretending i was indiana jones

asking questions

and being six

but no good at accents

Anyway

In my mind now

She seemed german

and at the time

she seemed real old

it was in the line for the buffet

the word and idea of a buffet seems very old now

like the german lady

who I was in front of in the Q

On my own

My parents let me serve myself

i was a big boy

Everything was going swimmingly

Until

We got to the honey jar

the blasted honey jar

it mesmerised me

remember

i was six

Without thinking I picked up the spoon covered in honey

And gave it one big lick

remember

I was six

It tasted good

I was content

Until

all of a sudden

I got a clip round the back of the head

What the?!?!

‘You are disgusting, what are you doing’

Don’t know how she knew I was English

Spoon back in jar

Bad idea

She roared

again

I turned to face her

Took one look

at her leathery features

And Bavarian scowl

And legged it

Never did tell my parents

They might have given me a clip as well

My other memories aren’t as vivid

They just include

Loads of kinder eggs

And ball pools

and pretzels

and learning to swim underwater

And a girl called silvia from sofia

That’s it

That's Bulgaria

Nice place

Yoshi Sodeoka - Dazed

Yoshi Sodeoka likes noise. He likes the kind of incoherent, nonsensical noise you could imagine piercing through Anton Newcombes skull every time he watches DiG! He is a purveyor of aural pollution and combines it, to haunting effect, with photography and collage when creating low-fi videos that conjure up a spirit world both alluring and impossible to interpret. “I like working with music that's non-structural since that fits my visual style and process which is very non-structural. I like random things that are hard to understand. It's challenging to me.”

With that in mind it’s hard to imagine the Brooklyn based artist having any trouble looking for inspiration when it comes to music. His record collection consists of exquisitely named bands such as Napalm Death and Discharge and helped influence Psychedelic Death Vomit, a video that takes you on a DMT trip through a Spectrum ZX and Noise, a collection of ethereal, ghostly prints that look like interference from a television channel you probably shouldn’t have tuned into. “The asthetic of Noise is pretty appealing to me and comes from my taste in music. As a teenager I was into noisy punk rock like Chaos UK and Disorder. Really noisy weird punk rock music I can’t really separate myself from because I grew up with it. Throughout all my work I’m trying to fill the gap and do something that’s never been done before, I want to create a media that feels like noise music, that feels like metal.”

Brought up in Cold War Japan Sodeoka loved shortwave radio, UHF television and pretty much any gadget his electrician father could get his hands on. This early fascination with electronic devices combined with a relocation to New York and 90s-honed love of Junk TV, underground Internet culture, and sub-cultures in general, all play a role in the psychedelic video collages we see today. Sound and image are sampled and put into a new context through applying old techniques to new media. Every visual source I need to make my art is on the internet these days. Then I filter through those materials with both digital and analog equipments. I’m interested in making a bridge between something old and new. I like seeing a good fusion of retro and modern in my work.”

His latest show Televisions + Ghosts + Nature mixes fragments of familiar images of nature culled from mass media sources with raw digital static generated by the crudest of technologies such as magnets, snapshots of old analogue television screens, cheap software, randomly applied filters and screenshots of VHS noise. “It’s a reaction to what I see and kind of all happens on a subconscious level but that is what I’m into.”

good moaning

my body feels old and my mind is asleep. both are hungover and worn down. i feel like a used condom minus the jizz. the spunk. the hows your father. the effort im having to exert to achieve even the simplest of things highlights my inability to live and my stomach feels empty but sickly. my head is a cloud of grasshoppers and crickets....

i hate everything and you. you cunt. not really. just today, probably tomorrow and maybe the day after. definitely not on friday.

my vices are to blame and i can associate every ache and pain with each inhale, exhale, gulp, swallow, swig and wide awake hour spent over the last 4 days.....or was it 5....whatever it was it has encouraged me to be here now, writing this whilst wallowing in a rotten stench and gravy stained dressing gown. good timezzz.
