Synopsis

With no explanation or introduction whatsoever, Liechti gets us into the sonic universe of the duo formed by musicians Andy Guhl and Norbert Möslang, who recorded the album Kick That Habit during a 1986 live performance. Here, these collectors of diverse mechanic sounds and every kind of electrical appliances play a true industrial symphony sprung from the simple pleasure of experimenting. In a particularly cinematic moment, they translate into sound the light emerging from a projector as well as the interrupting shadows that create shapes in the images that form on a wall. Surely the Warner brothers weren’t thinking about this when discussing movies with sound.
