Jarra’s perspective on sound has been in a similar way when he started with field recordings in the late '90s. He consequ…
Sex and Dead Cities
Sardinian hinterland is something else in comparison to the idyllic postcards of the high bathing season. It is something else also from what you see in the folklore documentaries about the Sardinian traditional masks. The land is bleak, made of stones and basaltic boulders, the landscape is fractured, broke up. Cities like Macomer, where Hermetic Brotherhood of Lux-Or lives, are agglomerations of concrete barracks, rough roads, closed factories, industrial and commercial decadence. Only local…
