The Third Aktion
Synopsis
South African auteur Aryan Kaganof plunders George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Alain Resnais' L'année dernière à Marienbad (1961) AKA Last Year at Marienbad. On the Jozi side up there’s the mysterious cerebra of noise and relative Electronic conceits, The African Noise Foundation. Fused around the sound-design of muti-instrumentalist/multi-producer Joel Assaizky (Bunny Chow; Hard Copy) and meta-conducting of AK Thembeka, the Foundation is dedicated to re/locating and exploding Africa’s melodic distortion into song. Check out link “We promise nothing. We bring the Noise.”
