The Inside Out Thirst Trap EP

 

The sharpest work of the last thirty years is to be found by studying the most unlikely, self-destroying, uncompromising, roundabout artists.

- Manny Farber, "Underground Films"

[Jean-Pierre] Léaud is an actor who goes all the way once you have suggested a direction to take. It was he who launched out down this track, somewhere between Balzac and Lewis Carroll.

- Jacques Rivette in the Autumn 1974 issue of Sight and Sound

All music on The Inside Out Thirst Trap EP has been manufactured and denatured by Jason Philip Wierzba. The two extended, slowed-way-down film clips provided as accompaniment in the YouTube video embedded below, and likewise denatured by Wierzba, come to us care of Jean-Luc Godard’s Sauve qui peut (la vie) [the shot appropriated was already in slo-mo so now it moves like tectonic plates...or glacially...in the manner of a glacier] and Jacques Rivette’s Out 1: Noli Me Tangere. Which is precisely as it ought to be...

1. Inside (9:54)
