‘I dislocated the floor today’

Yes indeedy! Well, truth be told i didn’t, Rhian did. I was just asked to work with her to create some ‘upside-down dubstep’ for her contemporary dance film piece. One of the more interesting briefs i’ve had

The music for the piece has been called ‘vs gravity’, purely for my own amusement so that in a tracklisting it will appear as ‘squatter vs gravity’ which suits the amount of trampolining i’ve been doing recently. yeah!

Blurby:

A piece by Rhian Farnworth.
Dancers: Cornelia Turner-Klier and Robert Keates
Music – ‘vs gravity’ devised specially for the piece by Squatter.

‘a screendance inspired by theories on the inverted world by Maurice Merleau-Ponty the oddness of an upside down world translated into a screendance of bodies supported by the wrong surfaces, gravity pulling from all directions and layers of dislocated legs.’

Also featured is Squatter’s edit, with his unique and eerie style. This remix has all the hallmarks that make Squatter justifiably Pyrate Music’s top remixer.

You can have a listen through the 4 tracks of eclectic breaks, electro 4/4 housey weirdness and if you want one for keepsies then head to Juno (or whatever your favourite downloady place is) to get a copy.
