Subtle Interferences, Subtle Interferences

In the space between voices, images, song and music, Paul Gaitan delays the shift from black and white to colour. Evoking Eliane Radigue and Matana Roberts among other artists, the dialogue helps to “trigger off” (“déclencher”, spoken in French among words of Portuguese subtitled in English) without expecting an actual repartee. Arto Lindsay asserts himself more impetuously with his guitar than his words. The 6-string Danelectro looks like a survivor from the 1950s. In such hands, it is dazzling.
