Fermin Muguruza & The Suicide of Western Culture B-Map 1917 + 100Berlin / Ulrike Meinhof is the first single from the album which will come out on December 1st  Artistic creation can stem from either from observation or imagination. And in some exceptional occasions creation can also stem from both these impulses. This is exactly what happens on B-Map 1917 + 100: Fermin Muguruza observes the reality of different cities around the world (Berlin, Bilbao, Belfast, Brazzaville, Buenos Aires, Beirut, Barcelona… ten cities in all, beginning with “B”) and maps out the indignation, the upheaval and the revolution in the world today. Today and here. Today and there. Today and everywhere. The state of things. Another state of things. Including the one we are living today. “The artefact which is the fruit of conspiracy carried out in secret”, as defined by Fermin himself, will come out in the shape of an album on December 1st. Berlin / Ulrike Meinhof is the first single that will be released today as a video; the first of ten videos that will serve to reflect a society which is sinking into an alarming spiral of decadence. But Fermin doesn’t draw the line at only pointing out realities that are crying out for change; he also moves towards uncharted musical territories with no safety net, joining forces with the hard-hitting Barcelona electronic music duo The Suicide of Western Culture. The simple fact that he still wants to go into a creative workshop with musicians that theoretically are not in his orbit (in fact they are: everybody believes that now is the moment for fighting music) says a lot about how nonconformist Fermin Muguruza really is. He is always in favour of risk. Always in favour of sounds that are yet to be created. Always in favour of music as a weapon to open up the future. Because other types of music are possible and another world, too.  |
