In the Golgatha/Dawn & Dusk split an advertising leaflet of CMI is inserted (as always). It has a very promising remark under “upcoming”:
MILITIA presents the MekanOrganiK project – Extracting Sunlight from Cucumbers CD
Does that mean that my favorite eco-anarchists will release a new album and even on CMI? Now that is something to look forward to!
[edit]: Hmm, what a little ‘Googling’ can onearth, a quote from Wikipedia:
Militia side project MekanOrganiK
In collaboration with the Bilzen Cultural Board, Militia’s side project MekanOrganiK organised the Bilzorganic festival, a street festival featuring several theatre acts and experimental music artists. MekanOrganiK presented a concert for 15 cement mixers and dance performance. See: http://www.cultuur.bilzen.be/site.asp?CID=7135
MekanOrganiK is also involved in the organisation of workshops, teaching young people how to create self-made music instruments and how to play the didgeridoo and percussion on empty oil barrels. In the youth club Club 9 in Koersel, MekanOrganiK organised the workshop “percussion on oil barrels” during the Fair Trade happening, see http://www.club9.be/on_stage.htm
MekanOrganiK will release a full studio CD based upon the adventures of Liamel Gulliver (Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift ), called “Extracting Sunlight from Cucumbers”. The music is slightly more techno and sounds are being generated from sand, stones, cucumbers, water and so on, in combination with electronics and percussion.
Hi there,
just to inform you that Militia is now working for the Belgian Neuropa Records label. This label already released the debut album of the Militia side project MekanOrganiK “How to Extract Sunlight from Cucumbers” (see: http://www.neuropa.be) and will release the next MILITIA album “Power,Propaganda,Production” as well, plus all future recordings of both bands.
Best,
Frank/Militia/MekanOrganiK
