Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within

La musica dei Dead Can Dance è sempre stata all'avanguardia e impossibile da categorizzare e definire. Nel corso della loro carriera sono passati dal gothic alla musica medievale/rinascimentale, da una world music tinta di percussioni al folk blues. La loro musica continua ad influenzare la nuova generazione di musicisti, ed il suo impatto si riconosce persino nel sottofondo musicale delle pubblicità televisive. I Dead Can Dance continuano ad avere seguaci in tutto il mondo con il loro stile che piace tanto ai fan di Tim Buckley quanto a quelli dei Nine Inch Nails.

The Jellyfish

The Jellyfish employs a variety of experimental approaches, combining stop-motion and pixilation techniques, freely mixing black and white photography of beach landscapes, objects and people – along with some drawings – to build a poetic, very textured montage, eliding the real and the surreal, the beautiful and the eerie, the spirited and the deadly. Figures and objects are isolated, linked together only by their presence on a beach, all exposed to direct or indirect threats. The different jellyfish are as much at threat – washing up dead, stranded in the desolate landscape – as they are a threat – appearing suddenly and making people vanish.
