"Unter The Scene wird eine Computer-Subkultur verstanden, die sich im wesentlichem zum Ziel gesetzt hat, illegale Kopien von neuen Filmen und Computerspielen sowie neuer Musik innerhalb ihrer eigenen Netzwerke zu verbreiten, meist noch vor deren offiziellen Veröffentlichung. Im deutschsprachigen Raum wird oft auch die Bezeichnung „Die Scene“ benutzt. Die Szenemitglieder selbst nennen sich meist „Scener“. Die Szene hat ihre eigene Strukturen, Etiketten und Regeln, und unterteilt sich in mehrere, meist international verteilte Release Groups."

I was going to post this up before the end of the year (for reasons that will become apparent), but decided to wait until now so that people would be past the whole festive/new year madness and might therefore give this one some time and thought.

Back in 2006, slightly curious sequence of events began that started with me doing a remix of the Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” in a KLF “Chill Out” style, and ultimately ended in mass speculation as to the KLF’s return, a new documentary, a new LP and more. Behind it all were myself and Strictly Kev, two ardent KLF fans who, if we’re honest, got slightly carried away with our fandom and wound up coming as close to identify theft on Messrs Cauty and Drummond as could be possible.

My part in the ruse was the remix that kickstarted things (in short: I did it, sent it to Kev and he happened to be working on a KLF tribute mix, which ultimately turned into us passing off said mix as a possible lost item from the KLFs past), the creation of the website and domain and general input into how this should be perpetuated. Kev, as master of both the mix and the visual medium (in his Openmind alias) was responsible for the final mix (aka “The Sound of Mu” and all the incredible artwork you will see shortly, which rates amongst some of the finest photoshoppery I have ever borne witness to.

So what’s the upshot on this? Well, basically we got a lot of people thinking the KLF were returning on the 20th anniversary of the “1987: What The Fuck Is Going On?” release. The hoax worked so well one cheeky bugger even managed to sell a copy of our “release” on eBay for £40. Not bad for a CDR!

But, rather than read my manic typings on this, I urge to you to download the PDF below, which is a booklet lovingly created by Kev that details what we did, what the site looked like, what the fallout was and more. Trust me, its worth reading. In addition, below are links to both the original version of the Sound of Mu mix, and the vocal one that never went online, until now.

Read the PDF, then listen to the mixes. If you were ever a KLF fan, you’ll love it… but then if you are a KLF fan, you might well already know about this mix

enjoy!

A melodious survey of the year 2007 in a tearing rush, yet taking time for a few snapshots to memorize this year. This years edition is with a certain nonchalant touch as some transitions are on the very edge of being a close call. My will to put up a lot of favorite songs made that there are some abrupt transfers and sudden changes in style/mood. "where there's a will, there's a way" whether it's the right way is up to the listener. I decided to let it in as it happened along the process and because the mix is a random indication and on top of that it totally reflects my current state.

“Camjackers” has landed

After 5 years in Los Angeles, experimental filmmakers, Julian and Linnea Dahl, have returned to Vashon with their first feature film – “Camjackers” – a quirky comedy-drama in which class war, revenge and the race divide collide in a funny post-Reality hiphop mindtrip.

This carefully improvised film follows the underclass Camjackers as they wreak their revenge on the middleclass Filmfakers using their own cameras against them. The film caricatures white cooption of black culture in the ironically simultaneous contexts of racial fear and the fetishization of black cool. Secondly, it explores indie-filmmaker-as-pop-icon with a knowing wink at media access, representation, and social control. Lastly, “Camjackers” is an actual experiment in genuine creative access in which two real groups of film artists were actually given the tools to realize their films-within-a-film, while also starring as characters within this feature film. The story takes shape in real time as the Camjackers edit various tapes on screen while we watch.

According to director-producer, Julian Dahl, “we were shocked by the third-worldization of LA, the hordes of homeless, the cultural and material theft of the underclass, so we tried to make fun of the powerful and provide a platform for artists to speak and the underdog to triumph.”  Shot with real artists on the streets without a script, Julian relied on his charaters’ passion, skills and experiences to infuse the plot with bite. “I wanted to show the parisitic nature of Hollywood, the power of African-American culture, and the reality of folks in the hood.”

Based on an original idea by Linnea Dahl, co-writer, “Camjackers was, for me, a way of dealing with almost getting shot in my home, living in the ghetto as a urban pioneers, and watching rich whiteboys with toys trying to riff on authentic ghetto experience.”

Teaming up with LA Filmmakers Co-op (www.lafco.tv), a filmgroup described by Res magazine as “media merry pranksters on wheels”, Julian and Linnea sold their house, put out casting calls, and conjured the dream into actuality. Three and a half years later, the film is done and touring the festival circuit, recently winning Best Editing at Ann Arbor Film Festival and screening at Harlem International Film Festival.

This is a chance to see the work of WildChild producers Julian and Linnea Dahl close up.

“It’s cool, man. We’ve got black friends…”

Logline

Can’t make a film? Just steal one! Class war, revenge and the race divide collide in this funny post-Reality hiphop mindtrip.

Capsule

CAMJACKERS is a funny, LA street story about 2 rich, scared filmfakers in the hood and the 3 guys who ‘borrow’ their equipment, make a film, get ripped off, and seek revenge.

Synopsis

Two rich, clueless filmschool grads (“the Filmfakers”) are shooting a “ghetto” interpretation of an ancient Greek play on the mean streets of Los Angeles. Their equipment is ‘borrowed’ by three street youths (“the Camjackers”), who shoot a compelling documentary on underground hiphop. The Filmfakers rip off the Camjackers’ film and rise to fame and fortune. The Camjackers see their stolen work on TV and seek revenge.

Concept

Camjackers is an experiment in creative access in which two real groups of film artists were given the tools to realize their films-within-a-film, while also starring as characters within this feature film. The story takes shape in real time as the Camjackers play rushes and edit various tapes on screen while we watch. The rawness of the film, and especially of the hip hop short-film-within-the-film and the street documentary footage, comes from a freestyle approach to filmmaking itself – unscripted, off-the-cuff, real responses to contrived contexts played out in real time and jumpcut together coalescing into a finished feature film before your very eyes.

Scenario

The Filmfakers are shooting a ‘ghetto’ interpretation of the ancient Greek play, Lysistrata (“Sista Strada”) on the streets of LA. When approached by a group of street youths (the “Camjackers”), the Filmfakers think that they are being mugged so they give their camera, tripod and watch to the Camjackers and run away.

The shocked Camjackers take the stuff and then discover the abandoned Filmfaker’s production van. The Camjackers decide to make a film in one day.

They shoot some footage and then take the camera and laptop to their apartment to show their friends, Shante and Olinda. Rather than hock the stuff, Olinda insists that they make a film themselves.

All four Camjackers ride in the stolen production van and work on their film ideas. Cody and Phoenix then play with the camera and accidentally leave it running. They film themselves and their world as we see rushes from their short film-in-the-making. We then see part of their edited short film.

The cops see the Camjackers walking along the street and assume they stole the Filmfakers’ stuff. The cops give chase but the Camjackers escape.

The Camjackers go to a club to find talent for their short film. They continue shooting street people into the night. While the Camjackers are shooting the last shot of the night, they are again harassed by the cops and then break free.

Surveillance footage shows the Filmfakers recovering their equipment and checking their tapes and harddrives. The Filmfakers discover a short film on their harddrive (shot and cut by the Camjackers). The Filmfakers decide to steal the Camjackers’ short film and release it under their own names. The Filmfakers win the Best Short Subject Prize for their film. They begin their rise to fame and fortune.

Several months later, the Camjackers see themselves and their film on TV without credit. They become very angry and plot revenge.

The Camjackers break into the Filmfakers’ rich home, grab the original copy of their short film and steal some home movies and surveillance tapes. On these tapes we see the Filmfakers indulge in degrading and unethical behavior.

We then see a cable TV entertainment show (“Real Entertainment”) that showcases the Filmfakers and their stolen short film.

The Camjackers know they need releases to use the embarassing Filmfakers’ footage, so they pose as a “Pirategram” singer and a postal worker to get the Filmfaker’s to sign (hidden) release forms.

The Camjackers then sell the raw footage to a sleazy cable TV entertainment magazine show (“Shamefile”). We see the trashy “Shamefile” TV spot assassinating the Filmfakers as professionals and human beings with samples from the Filmmakers’ own home movies and surveillance tapes.

The Camjackers are officially recognised as authors of their own work and gain some fame for their efforts. As the final celebratory scenes unfold in the limo and the club (Project Blowed), we see the Camjackers living high. The Filmfakers, recently released from jail, visit the club. As the Filmfakers try to salvage whatever they can, we see Phoenix harshly dismissing the Filmfakers, who are then thrown out of the club.

As the credits roll, we learn that the Camjackers actually put together the whole Camjackers feature film themselves.
