Clockspiderrainbewegen is a manifesto of concrete schachto-verbo-voco poetry, the interaction between Josip Stošić’s visual poem Clock, Spider and Rain and verses of decelerated movement of Claus Bremer’s bewegen, in which the otological surveillance of Kafka’s “the burrow of sound” and the kammerspiel schachtophonia Fact 4 by Ivan Volarič Feo intervene.
We expand the bare ear as a form of life, open to the perception of sound sensations, trained to listen and process captured information, an ear that enables sound its continuous circulation, signaling and signifying, standing in resistance to the tyranny of the overbearing eye. The word images, spatialized and panzerized are embodied in a wide range of schacht-instrumental and multimedia variations, moved by the concordance of a multi-part schachtophonic score. An aleatory sound space of invariable quantities evokes the ludic movement of community shachtophonization.
Shachto-Culture embraces the schachtophonic instrumentarium of bruitism for the synthetic forms of performances and installations, whose sound boxes and graphic partitures-schachtophonies are made by the artist and performer Damir Bartol Indoš. They were created by the developing his sound-stage objects from “spiritually recycled post-industrial waste” since the late 1980s and used as a performing apparatuses and sound sculptures as part of the multimedia settings of the House of Extreme Musical Theater, by an author duo DB Indoš and Tanja Vrvilo.
