VON MAGNET-COMPUTADOR
απο τους αγαπημενους μου δισκους
" COMPUTADOR, the phantasmagoric multi media electro flamenco opera & VON MAGNET's new piece of agit pop is a hyperkinetic, colliding, grinding and melting of extreme elements of dance, action mime, theatre, sculpture, slides, cinema, symphony, appropriated noise, sax and flamenco guitar…"
FREE VOICE Paris
"VON MAGNET is a collective of artists from Spain, France, Switzerland and the United States. In their new productions they present total theatre including physical action, music, visual art, video, film, and slides presentations. An electric torrent of flamenco rhythms mixed with computer tones, voices, acoustic guitar and timpani drums, film and industrial sounds. The public walking around during the performance is confused. Are they pawns, musicians, actors or queen in the electric chess game by VON MAGNET" ?
SUMMER FESTIVAL NEWS Amsterdam
"Since its formation in formation in 1986, this international music plusultra group has gained both fame and infamy through its enormously expressive theatrical music shows and such experimental recordings as El sexo surrealista and Computador. Composed of a wide variety of musicians and performance artists, VON MAGNET defies all attempts at labelling. In every instance it breaches the very borders of rock, dance, electronics, flamenco and theatrics. (…) Because of the spectacular nature of the shows, VON MAGNET often find itself compared to LA FURA DELS BAUS. In truth, the two groups are worlds apart. VON MAGNET is hardly concerned with the creation of stunning effects for their own sake; but it is utterly dedicated to the transmission of higher states of feeling, particulary when displaying the deep emotive potentialities of flamenco."
