cultural creation
Radio Free Babylon. Sounds good doesn't it.
Check them out folks. 'Them' is an innovative media creation syndicate. There is a blog called Random Scratch.
But there is more. A sample of the music work:
Times New Romans, an album.
Great album cover. I love the insertion of the gulf course and the satellite dish amidst the ruins.
The album cover is a reworking of one of Claude Lorraine's well known landscapes featuring Aeneas,who was linked to the foundation of Rome. The particular painting is entitled Landscape with Aeneas at Delos:.
National Gallery, London
Whilst exploring the website have a listen to the music produced by Radio Free Babylon. Here is the Title track. And the lyrics.
Did I mention the comics? I love the idea of Existential Dawg, a dog with no name, who thinks too much and listens to the Stones. I hope that he can judge the trashy product of corporate rock from the good music.
Radio Free Babylon. They disrupt the everyday and the opinionated links we make between words (& art & music) and experience; the links that speak as if the world were easily translatable into a common language and experience that we all share.
