New tape on UKs Brachliegen Tapes will release on November 1: نه (no) is dedicated to the Federation of Anarchism Era, an anarchist organisation active in Iran and Afghanistan. They organize(d) local struggles both in Iran and Afghanistan, translate and distribute anarchist literature and publish news on its website and various social media channels. Since 2021 they managed to help the escape of several people from the reach of the Taliban. On the local level, members of the federation participated in the uprisings in Iran after the murder of Mahsa Amini in police custody in Iran.

The groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism Era operate decentralised but united in the goal of fighting the fascist theocracies governing their respective countries. Internationalism, feminism, atheism and a pro-LGBTQ+ stance are indispensable parts of their struggle.

Since the groups organised in the Federation of Anarchism are at this point able to sustain themselves, they have closed all donations. Any non-monetary support is welcome. Get in touch, inform yourself, become part of the struggle. The logo of the Federation of Anarchism Era has been reproduced with their kind permissionProceeds will go to Solidarity Detainee Support, a grassroots abolitionist visiting group working to break the isolation of UK immigration detention.

Hurlements by ■david wallraf / Gerald Fiebig

Film samples, soundscapes, noises and static and abruptly changeing, audiophonic walls. A sound-artistic and conceptual work in relation to a movie by the Situationist Guy Debord.

Guy Debord’s 1952 film Hurlements en faveur de Sade is a radical work with no images and minimal sound, challenging the very definition of cinema. Its purpose was to create a “situation” in which the audience’s expectations were subverted, marking a potential endpoint for film as an artistic medium. Debord’s film, with its rejection of spectacle, resonates with the concept of noise as it obliterates signal, while the melancholic voices hint at early Situationist ideas. Artists Gerald Fiebig and David Wallraf pay tribute by translating the film’s themes into sound, using noise and collage to explore its oppositional nature.

Collaborative project with Monad Node is now available as digital download, tape and CD. Songs developed over a three month period by exchanging tracks; artwork, design and production are a shared effort, titles were taken from works by Walter Benjamin (Capitalism as Religion), Max Horkheimer („But whoever is not willing to talk about capitalism should also keep quiet about fascism“), Rosa Luxemburg („[The most revolutionary thing one can do is] always to proclaim loudly what is happening“) and Karl Marx („The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living„).
