New York 2095.
Une pyramide flottante au-dessus de
Manhattan... Une population de mutants,
d'extra-terrestres, d'humains, réels ou syn-
thétiques...  Une campagne électorale. Un
serial killer boulimique qui cherche un corps sain et un dieu à tête de faucon qui n'a que sept jours pour préserver son immortalité.
Un pénitencier géostationnaire qui perd un
dissident subversif congelé depuis trente ans
 et une jeune femme sans origine connue, aux cheveux et aux larmes bleus...
Trois noms : Horus, Nikopol, Jill…
Trois êtres aux destins convergents où tout est truqué: les voix, les corps, les souvenirs. Tout, sauf l'amour qui surgit comme une délivrance.

Les personnages principaux sont au nombre de trois. Le premier est surnaturel. C'est le dieu Horus, athlète à tête de faucon, condamné à mort par ses pairs pour rébellion, qui n'a que sept jours pour exécuter son plan démoniaque :
investir un corps humain et séduire une femme qui lui garantira l'immortalité. Sa proie sera Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), le défenseur des opprimés, déporté pour avoir tenté de combattre le pouvoir officiel, qu'un court-circuit dans le pénitencier où il était congelé depuis trente ans ressuscite.


Nikopol (guerrier doté d'une jambe artificielle
de métal) et Horus (mi-homme mi-oiseau) deviennent rivaux : ils tombent amoureux de la même femme, Jill (Linda Hardy), pur fantasme, énigmatique pin-up en phase de mue, qui avale des pilules pour empêcher son passé de resurgir, et pleure des larmes bleues, indélébiles sur la peau humaine.


Nikopol séduit Jill en lui récitant un poème de Baudelaire  "Une Charogne" . La cérémonie des lèvres est rythmée par une dégustation de bordeaux. Déployant ses ailes au-dessus d'un New York évoquant le Metropolis de Fritz Lang,
l'homme-dieu au pouvoir de Superman a des désirs physiques, et les pulsions de viol d'Amphitryon : sous l'apparence de Nikopol, dans une chambre d'hôtel à faire gémir les fleurs du mal, il pénètre le corps alangui de Jill, jouit de ses étreintes et de son abandon tel un alien.

New York 2095.A floating pyramid overManhattan ... A population of mutants,extra-terrestrial, human, real or syn-thetic ... An election campaign. Acompulsive serial killer who seeks a healthy body and a falcon-headed god who is only seven days to preserve his immortality. A penitentiary who loses a geostationarysubversive dissident frozen for thirty years
 and a young woman with no known origin, to hair and blue tears ...Three names: Horus, Nikopol, Jill ...Three people whose destinies converge, where everything is fake: the voices, bodies, memories.Everything except the love that comes as a relief.The main characters are three in number. The first is supernatural. That the god Horus, the falcon-headed athlete, sentenced to death by his peers for rebellion, which has only seven days to complete his master plan:invest a human body and seduce a woman who will guarantee immortality. Its prey is Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), the defender of the oppressed, deported for trying to combat official power, a short circuit in the penitentiary where he was frozen for thirty years revived.

Nikopol (warrior with an artificial legmetal) and Horus (half-man half-bird) become rivals: they fall in love with the same woman, Jill (Linda Hardy), pure fantasy, pinup enigmatic phase of moult, which swallowspills to prevent his past resurface and weep tears of blue indelible human skin.

Nikopol Jill seduces him reciting a poem of Baudelaire's "A Carcass". The ceremony was punctuated by the lips tasting of Bordeaux. Spreading its wings over a New York reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, man-god power Superman has physical desires, and impulses of rape of Amphitryon: under the guise of Nikopol, in a hotel room to mourn the flowers of evil, it enters the body of languid Jill enjoys his hugs and his abandonment as an alien.

Oooo... too much partying on Friday night. This calls for the chill tunes of minimal beats for today.

Sidda Leigh sent a shout for Yotan Korobase, a dj that does a nice set of complex sounds and noises that puts the chill into his set.









I am dancing at F.A.M. and letting the sounds enter my head on this beautiful sunny California day. Nice, nice way to start the Saturday night parties.

I dropped by to hear Stefan Chrousch today at Room 23. A definite underground scene of minimalist music & decor. The beats were enticing as Stefan took us on his musical journey.












Room 23 is a creative build of dingy cracked walls and posters. A concrete floor reminds us that we are in an underground repository of sorts. Room 23 is owned by DeeJayBPM McKeenan and she was playing next. Fun!










The fans were here too, of minimal music and dj Stefan Chrousch. I needed a bit of chill this afternoon... a good way to refocus on the work at hand.
