| most self-evident fact Zazu _silence_ me Uploaded by sifiro RITOURNELLE ODRADEK avec SIFIR et RIDHA DHIB : Manchester MU BECOMING-SEXUAL OF THE SEXUAL or should we go, be a little alcoholic, a little crazy, a little suicidal, a little of a guerilla – just enough to extend the crack taking a philosopher from behind extending the crack to unforeseen dimensions no finality without getting afraid of being paranoid getting hysterical - discontinuity - is this source attainable? only if we could picture a model the model of the model which is unknowable. imagine Artaud’s neurotic language a wall of sound and the sonics you hear give you only some clues about what lies behind this wall, given the fact that Merzbow does not imitate what he cannot hear but represents what he fails to hear it is probably why the lyre bird with an extraordinarily beautiful tail in southern Australia has got no song of itself except the other songs of other birds which he imitates. the lyre bird imitates everything whatever he hears, even the chainsaws he hears in the forests: the whole infinity of sounds is his model but he doesn’t have one of his own. becoming-quantum of animal? Büchner’s Lenz five minutes before he starts hearing the noise of silence, or goes mad, or attempts to kill himself. in contrast, a thorough understanding of complementarity means to look at killing oneself together with the impossibility of killing oneself and thus extending it to a life-long project. our intention is to extend the crack and perhaps look at the volcano in the face, to look at the non-identifiable, the non-identitarian, the undecidable, or better, the un-negotiable. (continues in the blog above) Music, Philosophy, Arts - but radical. SIFIR is an electronic music project of Zafer Aracagök. Daphne and Mum are the frequent contributors to SIFIR's music both with their vocals and ideas. The band thinks music is hysteria - a definite influence of what Gilles Deleuze wrote on F. Bacon. His last cd - "Ben Aptalim Cünkü Ölüyüm Ben Ölüyüm Cünkü Aptalim" /"I am Stupid Because I am Dead, I am Dead Because I am Stupid" - is about Nietzsche's collapse in Turin and its aftermath. "Yalvaririm Beyfendi Saatiniz Kaci Gosteriyor?"/"I Beseech You Sir, Tell Me What Time It Is" is about Sevim Burak, a language-dissident Turkish female writer who produced radical texts of l'écriture féminine during her life time between 1931-1983. Aracagök publishes books of fiction/theory, and teaches and writes on continental philosophy, basically, on the issues of sound, noise and image. SIFIR's MUSICAL WORK: SIFIR/BEN APTALIM CUNKU OLUYUM BEN OLUYUM CUNKU APTALIM, electronic music album on Nietzsche and his collapse in Turin, released by ADA Muzik, Istanbul 2005.
