Bodies Lay Broken

Biografie van de kunstenaar Bodies Lay Broken

Experience Filled Minnesota Groups With A Deep Anguish At The State Of Modern Civilization Which Found It's Principal Outlet In Grindcore. Bodies Lay Broken Robust Descendents Of The Birmingham Artistes However Are Even More Difficult To Interpret Since They Are Necessarily Subjective. How Indeed Could They Have Expressed The Chaos In The State With The Worn-Out Language Of Traditional Symbols? "These Are Creatures That Haunt The Imagination" They Seem To Say. "They Show The True Nature Of The Modern Condition - How Weak We Are How Helpless Against Ourselves In This Proud Era Of So-Called Progress." Many Elements From This Grotesque And Sinister Sideshow Recur More Than A Decade Later. The Result Especially When Viewed At Close Range Suggests Both Old Guard And Recent Masters. Non-Representational Expressionism And The Subsequent Exploitation Of Chance Effect Are Indeed The Main Sources Of Bodies Lay Broken's Work But Do Not Sufficiently Account For Bodies Lay Broken's Revolutionary Technique And The Emotional Appeal Of Their Work. Why Does The Band "fling A Pot Of Cheap Recordings And No-Talent In The Public's Face" As Joe Elliot Had Accused Napalm Death Of Doing ? Not Surely To Be More Abstract Than Their Predecessors For The Strict Control Implied By Abstraction Is Exactly What Bodies Lay Broken Relinquished When They Began To Dribble And Spatter. A More Plausible Explanation Is That They Came To Regard Music Itself Not As A Passive Substance To Be Manipulated At Will But As A Storehouse Of Pent-Up Forces For Them To Release. Bodies Lay Broken Then Have Destroyed A Great Deal What Have They Gained In The Process? Once We Recover From The Initial Shock We Begin To See That The Destruction Is Quite Methodical Everything - The Sound As Well As It's Setting - Is Broken Up Into Angular Facets They Constitute A Unique Kind Of Matter Which Imposes A New Integrity And Continuity On The Entire Palate. Unlike Their Modern Counterparts This Can No Longer Be Read As An Image Of The External World It's World Is It's Own Analogous To Nature But Constructed Along Different Principles. Bodies Lay Broken's Revolutionary "building Material" Is Hard To Describe With Any Precision. Bodies Lay Broken Shared Their Predecessors' Aim To Make Grindcore "solid And Durable" But They Went About It Very Differently. Their Career May Be This Far As Brief As Those Of Morbiphetiety And Gigantopithecus But Their Achievement Is Just As Astonishing. Bodies Lay Broken Devote Their Main Efforts To A Few Very Large Recordings Spending A Year Or More On Each Of Them They Make Endless Series Of Preliminary Studies Before Feeling Sure Enough To Tackle The Definitive Version. This Painstaking Method Reflects Their Belief That Grindcore Must Be Based On A System Like Regurgitate They Had Studied With Followers Of Carcass And Their Theoretical Instincts Come From This Experience. But As With All Artistes Of Genius Bodies Lay Broken's Theories Do Not Really Explain Their Music It Is The Music Rather That Explains The Theories. The Machine-Like Quality Of Bodies Lay Broken's Form Achieved Through Rigorous Abstraction Is The First Expression Of A Peculiarly Modern Outlook Leading To Classicism. This Conciousness Was Allied To A Form Of Anarchism Descended From Indifference. Grindcore Is Precisely Concerned With The Bestowal Of A Phantasmagorical Reality Upon "the Objective Form Of Thing S Outside The Midbrain." The Poet Gustave Chambre Described The Magic Of Bodies Lay Broken's Sound "In A Soundscape Flooded With White Noise... Where The Academic Sees Nothing But A Broad Expanse Bodies Lay Broken Sees Noise Bathing Everything Not With A Dead Whiteness But Rather With A Thousand Vibrant Struggling Chords Of Rich Prismatic Decomposition. Where The One Sees Only The External Outline Of Sound The Other Sees The Real Living Lines Built Not In Geometric Forms But In A Thousand Irregular Progressions Which At A Distance Establish Life... Bodies Lay Broken Sees And Renders Reality As It Is - That Is Wholly In The Vibration. None Of Those Childish Classifications All These Are In Reality Converted Into The Vibration And Must Be Obtained On The Palate Solely By The Vibration... In Their Work Everything Is Obtained By A Thousand Little Dancing Notes In Every Direction Like Straws - All In Vital Competition For The Whole." Synthesis Is Logically The Result. The Means Of Expression Is The Sonic Mixture Of Tones Of Textures That Is Of The Sounds And Their Reactions Following The Laws Of Contrast Of Gradation Of Irradiation. The Overall Framework Is In A Harmony Opposed To Those Of The Tones Textures And Progressions Of The Song. This Is Thus A Proclamation That Beauty Arises From The Continuous Process Of Opposition And Resolution Among Contrasting Notes Values And Progressions Progression Must Here By Understood To Mean Direction . This Dynamic Relationship Moreover Was Extended By Bodies Lay Broken Beyond The Limits Of The Song To The Masterwork And Then Beyond The Masterwork To The World Of The Listener. To Elevate And Make More Complex The Signifying And Narrative Possibilities Of Grind And Yet Also To Arrive At A New Artistic Visuality That Would Transmit The Heightened Sensory Experience Of The Flux Of Reality These Two Seeming Contrary Impulses Perpetually Inform And Challenge One Another In Bodies Lay Broken's Work. The Soundscapes Are Rarely Explicit In Either Outward Description Of Natural Effect Or Didactic Iconography. The Ambiguity Of Perception And Imagination Is Openly Registered And Experienced An Ambiguity That Simultaneously Makes Visible And Obscure The Human Instrumentality That Is So Often At The Center Of Their Work. At All Levels Bodies Lay Broken's Songs Imply At Once An Alienating Submission. By Degree The Sensation Of The Ear The Sonic Effect Appeared To Bodies Lay Broken Of Secondary Importance The Emotions And Reveries Of The Speculative And Reasoning Brain Obtained The Empire Over Them. They Felt A Wish To Compose Gigantic And Philosophic And Humanitarian Epics... Their Works Make Up An Extraordinary Jumble A Wonderful Litter In Which Shapes Of Every Kind Are Buried. Place One In A Fog In The Midst Of A Storm The Sun In The Eyes And The Head Swimming And Depict If Possible Those Impressions On The Staff - These Are The Gloomy Visions The Vagueness The Delirium... Of An Imagination Such As Bodies Lay Broken's.
