Musicas secretas y vandalismo pop
Yesterday, Schubert’s “An die Musik” was performed at Chemnitz City Hall, accompanied by a full orchestra and a mezzo-soprano. A declaration of love. The Capital of Culture has triggered just one thing among the colonial and provincial officials – hatred of beauty. Even high culture is now to be curtailed, whilst officials and functionaries increase their salaries and pensions.
Now it would be nice (and I can almost hear it already) if this were just a provincial farce. But it’s the agenda. Germany has fallen prey to malicious stupidity – indeed, the whole world has.
All the better, then, that the underground and music exist. Also yesterday, a parcel I’d been eagerly awaiting arrived, containing a book given to me by the Spanish anarchists. Above all, a true friend from the Basque Country, Iñigo, put me in touch with “Agente Provocador” in Madrid. Of course, it’s not a gift; we’re swapping art for art. As soon as my screen-printing setup is up and running again, “I hate people” T-shirts will be printed. For EVERYONE!
The book with the lovely title “Brutalismos” is about youth, music and subcultures from all over the world. Rebellious youths, rockers, punks and teddy boys. Czech beatniks, Japanese biker gangs, Scottish skinheads and, of course, Spanish anarchists. Self-empowerment without the state and without officials.
Because one thing we’ve learnt is this: whether East or West, nothing good comes of it, for only the courage to use our own minds will save us. That’s why: Down with the traitors – no love for the state.
And music is one of our strongest allies.
Du holde Kunst, in wie viel grauen Stunden, Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt,
Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb’ entzündet, Hast mich in eine bessere Welt entrückt!
