Marble Sounds is releasing its music video ‘Ship in the sand’, a touching cover of the band Sophia) in cooperation with the Provinciale Stuurgroep KOPP West-Vlaanderen. This steering group is made up of people from different organisations in mental healthcare and aims to sensitize as broadly as possible about KOPP.
The problem that these children are confronted with is often invisible to the outside world. Inside their home it continues to rage rampant. The children often see themselves as the cause of their parents’ problems. They try to hide it at all cost and they take on a great responsibility in the family.
Marble Sounds collaborated with production company Geronimo which came up with the idea to link the band to attention for KOPP in order to visualize those hidden problems with the necessary impact.
The video was written and directed by Dirk Domen. We witness the difficult story of a mother who includes a child into her psychosis. Next to 10-year-old Kasper Kindekens, the film also stars Dutch first-class actress Halina Reijn.

Midnight Masses, the band of Autry Fulbright (accompanied by Jason Reece) from …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, are pleased to announce their debut album Departures will be released on July 21 in Europe and July 22 in the US.
The album features contributions from some very notable guests, including Haley Dekle (Dirty Projectors), Isaiah “Ikey” Owens (The Mars Volta), Peter Hale (Here We Go Magic), Ian Longwell (Santigold), Jaleel Bunton (TV On The Radio), Mauro Refosco (Atoms For Peace) & Jamie Miller (…Trail of Dead).
Autry comments: “Midnight Masses is my longest standing creative project and I'm privileged to have my bandmates in...Trail of Dead occasionally join in as well as have so many other friends contribute. What started off as a therapeutic way for me to reflect and document the death of several family members and friends has turned into a musical endeavour that draws not just from grief, but the recognition of life. I've been heavily influenced by many musicians and visual artists along the way, and intend to convey the story of loss, self-discovery, and hope that permeates throughout.”
Midnight Masses started in the spring of 2008 by Autry Fulbright and Jason Reece shortly after the death of Autry’s father. The sudden loss compelled him to seek solace through music and travel with his friends. One of his friends was Gerard Smith of TV on the Radio who had recently begun documenting various Brooklyn musicians in his home studio. Midnight Masses quickly grew from a bedroom project to a multi-media collective with a revolving cast of musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists with Jason Reece contributing when not occupied with...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.
Three Legged Race (Robert Beatty of Hair Police) streams new EP in it's entirety
The scope of Robert Beatty's hydra-headed art practice has grown into an extreme articulation of unconfined creativity across multiple disciplines. A founding member of 2000's noise outfit Hair Police, as well as visionary illustrator and album-art designer for many of this era's most celebrated underground artists, Robert Beatty records his solo work under the name Three Legged Race. Come May 27th, 2014, Three Legged Race will release the first volume of Rope Commercial, a planned series of EPs premiering through the label Underwater Peoples.
Rope Commercial Vol. 1 will be the first Three Legged Race record since 2012's acclaimed Persuasive Barrier (Spectrum Spools / Editions Mego) and Beatty's follow up to last year's video score collection, Soundtracks for Takeshi Murata (Glistening Examples, 2013). Where those records take charge in a paradigm of collaged synth melodies, fragmented samples and twitching textures, Rope Commercial is more unsettling. Rope Commercial Vol. 1 delivers claustrophobic geometries, intensely disfigured narratives, and genre-free experimentation.
Beatty's recent celebrated performances as Three Legged Race abandoned prior synthesizer-dependent set-ups in favor of an intentionally dematerialized approach, employing just a sequencer program in an iPhone, and a lone tape machine. Conceptually, Beatty was defiantly shrugging off the fetishized hardware-oriented model so rampant in current electronic music discourse, and this became the inspiration to create Rope Commercial. Beatty stepped even further in recording Rope Commercial Vol. 1 however, adding acoustic instruments, (dulcimer and piano), and thoroughly processing sampled elements to warp the whole into un-recognizable dimensions.
Importantly, Rope Commercial Vol. 1 will be outfitted in a picture-disc of a classic Beatty vision. In a creamy neon-green urban landscape, the face of a humanoid figure is merged with a screen of a smartphone, its consciousness fused to the glass. Dangling from the phone is one leg outfitted in a woman's heel, presumably its sole means of transport. These kind of pathetic cyborg figures in states of physical flux frequently appear in Beatty's art. They function neatly as windows into Beatty's music as well, with its electronically marred voices and barren sonic spaces. These figures are Beatty's torpid avatars, in his music and art both, their humanism is strained by a confounding digital synergy.
Aptly, the picture-disc is a perfect setting for Beatty's airbrush work, his favored rendering tool, and the general modus operandi of Beatty's electronic music as Three Legged Race. In all, Beatty renews obsolete materials discarded from a voracious commercial culture, and employs them in strangely poignant contexts. In Rope Commercial Vol. 1, such found samples are diced and strewn into uneasy chapters. There is the dizzying, terse "All Ajax Dial", the interplanetary gale of "Aside From Each Other and Together Overnight", the faintly whirring "New Government", the white noise of "The Humidity Mascot" and perhaps Beatty's motif-to-be "Rope Commercial." In this title track alone, something of the whole EP is condensed: intentionally un-heroic melodies plod out over a darkly redundant groove and voices are haltered in the instance of utterance. Its electronic music most overtly, but defrocked of its sheen, with any conceivable hallmark of commercialism littered on the gravel.

Nah, you don't need to be afraid. Peek-A-Boo won't talk about boring politics! But Sony has a good alternative for us, why not vote on House Of Cards, the highly acclaimed series with Academy Winner Kevin Spacey?
