spectrum by altaió / 打油, alfredo costa monteiro
we are the children of technological disobedience, the fanzines and publications made using xerox, the ms-dos and the basic, the 48k computers and the eternal lines of code, the recorded cassette tapes edited with zeal, the walkmans and the portable personal soundtrack, the punk and anarchist sound.
we have spent hours of our childhood watching the coloured stripes on the screen of the TV while loading computer games we put on radios connected through a jack to the keyboard, dazzled by the colours and excited by the shrill sounds of 48k which seemed to us symphonies of free radical spirit.
in a technological society where technology has been transformed into an opaque box, out of reach of common knowledge and transformation and where the free tool has become a system of digital slavery, making us users and consumers of the network, we want to claim the return to low-tech, to plastic and tactile immediacy of the tool, noise and performance.
based on cassette tapes and a set of walkmans manipulated in real-time, we aim to transform by a moment reality and ears.
a spectrum is haunting Europe...
