lyrics

To celebrate art is to celebrate the omnipresent; art is not in the museum or in the gallery, art is in the gaze, vision and listening. Let’s celebrate it without fear of excess. Art is an overstimulated celebrity in the era of disaster. But contradictions are what make everything interesting.
Syncopated Birth does not respond to expectations. It has been created from the deconstrucion of MIDI files containing the song “Happy Birthday”. The SMF (Standard Midi Files, 1996) are files that contain associated MIDI information. It is one of the files used for karaoke tracks. These files are created through the music notation processor and contain an associated score and instructions. Thousands of web pages host these files (in the manner of sound dumps) and reproduce any genre, making it an explicit non-genre engine. It is existential vitalism instead of a simple intellectualism.
It’s amazing but it is only two years ago since you can use the happy birthday song without paying Warner/Chappell $ 1,500. There are copyright trolls. Owning the rights to a song can also be almost like owning stocks.
“I think there are a few other songs that we’re going to attempt to free up next,” he told me. “I don’t want to say the names. Good Morning to all.”

about

agnes pe Lleida, Spain

Agnès pe works on sound beyond the limits enshrined by any musical genre.
Her work is characterised by a fun and overwhelming attitude -all or nothing style-, covering the parameters of MIDI files, and always seeking new ways of relating to the elements she re-composes.
She creates lush top hit songs pieces puzzled into a grotesque musical disformity. No speed limit.
