Konst på LP / 2 varianter

1. I'm gonna live anyhow until I die / Johanna Billing (LP)

The film was shot in neighborhoods in Ostia, where Pier Paolo Pasolini lived until his death in 1975. Johanna Billing's supervised music replays two folk themes from "Fetus", the infamous 1971 musical collage by the Italian composer Franco Battiato.

Furthermore, Johanna Billings' record presents alternative versions of the Battiato themes and two acoustic film outtakes on the B-side: a lively conversation between the kids while playing Rorschach, and a discussion between Swedish studio musicians and Johanna during the making of the movie soundtrack back in Stockholm.
The record comes with extended interviews, text, and images from Johanna Billing, and by curators Cecilia Canziani and Lorenzo Bruni.

2. I'm Lost Without Your Rhythm / Johanna Billing (LP)

Centered around "My Heart," a composition by Swedish drum and voice duo "Wildbirds & Peacedrums," Billing's project presents a class of amateur dance students in Iasi, Romania, rehearsing during the Periferic 8 Biennial of Contemporary Art in Oct 2008. The film and soundtrack link several days of activity inspired by the works of Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer - a continuous process, one in which the dancers are watched by an audience, free to come and go as they please - resulting in no final performance as such. The work is a result of collaboration between choreographer, musicians, dancers and audience..

Record produced by Arnolfini, Johanna Billing and Apparent Extent, 2009.
