UN LADO Y OTRO DE LA PUERTA - ONE SIDE AND OTHER OF THE DOOR - CDR . SERIES NEGRAS. 2005

 

 
Arrástrate como un animal herido por el laberinto de túneles.
Pon los ojos ciegos, como vueltos hacia dentro.
Siente algo, alguien,
nunca te tocarán
no te hablarán.
Sabrás que por encima de tu cabeza está el suelo.
Tus pensamientos no te pertenecen
pero estarán golpeándote las sienes.
Apoya la espalda en la pared
está fría y húmeda.
Te darás cuenta de que estás desnudo.
Mea sobre tus pies hundidos en el fango,
te devolverá el calor.
Reanuda tus pasos
tendrás que recorrer aún mucho hasta encontrar la puerta
que te devuelva al otro lado,
donde la locura está prohibida
pero los semáforos se cruzan en rojo.
Crawl yourself like an injured animal through the tunnel´s labyrinth.
Put your eyes blinded, like turned to yourself.
Feel something, someone,
they´ll never touch you
they´ll never speak you.
You´ll know that ground is upon your head.
Your thoughts are not yours
but they´ll be knocking your temples.
Lean your back on the wall
it´s cold and humid.
You´ll realize that you are naked.
Piss on your feet undermud,
you´ll get warm again.
Renew your way
you´ll have a long way to find the door
wich leads to the other side,
where madness is banned
but red traffic lights are crossed.

 

 

" El trabajo de Tzesne es un compendio de reminiscencias a la monocromática imaginería fabríl, a la ciencia ficción y a una muy presente poética que no puede evitar homenajear constantemente al paisaje post-industrial. Un desafortunado y olvidado paisaje formado por puertos, minas y factorias fantasma. Es el mundo al que se nos invita a acceder. Un mundo brumoso, oscuro, mecánico, lento y pesado, realmente pesado. Un peso que hace que los dos lados de la puerta que cita el título de esta obra no sean mas que las dos caras de una misma moneda. Una moneda acuñada a fuego muy lento."

Xabier Erkizia - Ertz / Audiolab Arteleku

The music of Spain's Tzesne has been reviewed before (Vital Weekly 461, 470 and 492), and 'One Side And Other Of The Door' has been released a while ago, but only now landed here. This new(er) release lies in the extension of the first two, with the 7" reviewed in Vital Weekly 492 being the oddball so far. It's hard to tell what Tzesne does sound-wise, as all of his sound-sources are highly obscured by an extensive use of synths, samples and sound effects. In this one piece that lasts sixty minutes everything melts together in a highly organic way. Tzesne takes the listener on a journey through a vast empty post nuclear landscape. A desolated world in which the maggots are the only ones that survived. You can hear them creeping on the floor of empty factory. Machine hum still occurs waiting for it's final breath. This is not ambient for the weak of hearth, but a dark soundscape for the more adventurous science fiction lovers, those who love drive by machine parks late at night when the lights shine and the roads are empty. Certainly with a highly cinematographic character. When we do look from the objective outside to the music of Tzesne we can't say that he's walking terrible new paths of the musical evolution, as this music has been developing since the mid eighties, but Tzesne does a fine job.
