This project seeks to take a new approach to traditional user manuals based on sampling, a musical production technique that is very common in hip-hop. Sampling (and resampling) is a working process that takes pieces from different elements and combines them to create a unique and new item. This technique extracts these pieces from their natural habitat to de-contextualise them; it chops them up, changes, deforms, serialises and combines them with a view to generating a new message.

We live in a world bloated with data, images, videos, news, messages and constant inputs. We live in a world where collective forms of sharing knowledge generate a massive amount of information that is constantly doing the rounds. And just like hip hop lifts portions of audio to compose, this user manual has been scanned and compiled with these elements that do the rounds, such as photos, articles, chats or illustrations, which redefine or complement the content. The outcome is a sampled manual.

BORSHCH is a magazine for electronic music on and beyond the dancefloor. Founded in Berlin in 2017, it’s a space to provoke open dialogues and challenge established ideas about making, listening, and dancing to music. Through physical and digital formats, BORSHCH discusses the artistic, social, and political impact of electronic music on contemporary culture in and outside the club settings. The print edition of the magazine is published biannually.

In BORSHCH #5, we enter sweaty basements and concrete cathedrals and explore the culture of darkness born out of protest. In unsettling environments, we embrace the shadows and challenge our senses with obscure electronic music. When do you feel comfortable with your discomfort? What happens when the lights go off, and the only source of illumination you’re left with is blurry haze or an abrupt stroboscopic pulse? Conversation with Deena Abdelwahed, Lucrecia Dalt, and Alessandro Adriani question the ambiguity of ‘dark’ sound and psychological impact of unpolished music. Artist portraits of Animistic Beliefs, Rrose, Klein, Ziúr deconstruct the dark areas where sins, injustice, and disquiet are as human and real as pleasures and joy. This issue of Borshch considers entering the dark as an act of coming home, to the cave where the primary source of life is hidden.

Selling bricks and exposing architectural avant-garde es un proyecto de archivo audiovisual desarrollado desde 2018. Hasta la fecha, ha tomado forma de feed de Instagram (@kellycorbusier) y publicación. Selling bricks captura arquitectura de vanguardia y casos de especial relevancia representados en videoclips de música urbana en España.

200 páginas, casi 100 videoclips y planos inéditos de una arquitectura transformada en escenario. Edificios y calles recorridos a ritmo de hi-hats, autotune y perreo como ningún fotógrafo o revista especializada lo ha hecho jamás. Una mirada desplazada que, sin embargo, muestra y descubre detalles o edificios a un público que solo puede contarse con millones de visualizaciones. Un texto de la periodista y crítica musical HJ Darger se encarga de introducirnos en este imaginario de planos contrapicados y frames de Youtube.
