Press release from Kinky Star:
Youth & Music centre Kinky Star exist on April 1, 17 years, this year was the 17th time we took part of the “Gentse Feesten”, we celebrated 13 years of the Kinky Star Radio Show, our 60th digital release on Kinky Star Records , our teen project “JonGeduld” started its 8th season in September , we launched new projects such as "K met de Kunst van Kinky " in which young street art artists do small exhibitions and don’t forget to mention the many concerts ( +2500 since 1997 ) of both young local and international bands, DJs every week who make Kinky Star the "CBGB's" or "Cavern Club" in Ghent. A lively concert club with an active 'music education' effect which is supported by a team of young volunteers and student interns of university-colleges. (social - cultural work , communication sciences , etc... )
From the start in 1997, Luc worked alongside many other "soulmates" voluntarily within the organization. From 2005, we worked with Flemish government project funds and created the music educational aspect of the project “JonGeduld”.
From 2011 to 2013 Kinky Star was even structural supported for 50,000 euros per year. Because of the removal of this support by Flemish minister of culture Schauvliege, we were forced to operate with fewer employees and volunteers to put on. The financial situation ensured that internal reforms were inevitable. Meanwhile, the organization has evolved into a youth and music centre with a strong volunteer structure and operations, and we are joined “Formaat” (the federation of youth centres in Flanders).
New Kinky Star adventures are coming, also for founder Luc Waegeman who leaves his current functions as programmer to the hands of volunteers (led by Pieter-Jan De Coen ) and a new general coordinator (to be determined) from 2014 on.
The restructuring in which Luc's resignation fits, gives more independence to the volunteers. This change is the right time for him to focus on his own musical projects (see links below) as well as other new professional challenges in the music business. He'll just continue the follow up of the label and be the "honorary chairman" of the organization.
In times that no one, apart from the well known organisators, took goth or EBM seriously. Luc made it possible that bands like Parade Ground, Stin Scatzor, Der Klinke, Empusae and lots of others could play a gig in Ghent. It was also Luc who belkieved (believes) in Dark Poem and gave them a chance on his label. So, eternal respect!
Third Window Films are pleased to announce the acquisition of 2 cult, but very different types of films from Japan.
First off is the very well-known and big budget LESSON OF EVIL from Takashi Miike (from Ichi The Killer-fame!), which has been a big hit at all genre film festivals and frequently requested by our audience, so we are happy to be able to add it to our 2014 lineup. Third Window will aim for a small theatrical and then will bring it out on Blu-ray, DVD and VOD, with the video releases to contain a 2 hour long making of!
On the other side of the spectrum from the big name and big studio we have Eiji Uchida’s GREATFUL DEAD which is a totally off-the-wall mix of black comedy and strangeness which has drawn many comparisons to Sion Sono and especially LOVE EXPOSURE, but goes even further with its level of dark humour and violence.
Surprisingly it’s still pretty unknown, with it so far only having played at 2 festivals with both Raindance in the UK and Fantastic Festival in the States giving it good showings
'Mare morphosis' forms the third & final part of TROUMs so called 'Power Romantic' trilogy that started with 'Mare Idiophonika' in 2010. The basic materials & arrangements for this one long epic piece were created from 2009-2013 (partly based on the recordings for the 'Bach Eingeschaltet, Dritter Band' 7" dealing with experimental reworkings of J.S.BACH pieces) & to some extent used live in different live-programmes: A piece like an 'Ocean of Transformations', morphing through various stages of intensity.
'Mare morphosis' stands out in the history of TROUM studio-albums as their most symphonic, refined and orchestral effort so far. Cover photography by Paul Takahashi, graphic design by Tilmann Benninghaus (8 panel fold out digipack). First edition: 1000 copies.
