To celebrate tonightβs Ε»AFΕ»IFA Malta Premiere, the Soundtrack pre-order is out now. Only available via Bandcamp. /album/zafzifa-original-motion-picture-soundtrack
This fiercely independent film premieres on May 1stβInternational Workersβ Day, an apt moment to reflect on everyday life and labor in contemporary Malta. Third-country nationals, migrants, and Maltese alikeβall sharing a small rock in the middle of the blue, not only living and working side by side but also confronting questions of belonging and the right to happiness.
In cinemas from May 13th.
Text by Emilia Figiel
From textural ambient and free improvisation to experimental post rock the Spinozas Dog live set plays out as one cinematic piece. With nods to angular no-wave and aquatic exotica, a soundtrack for internal drift, a narration in sonic adventure, a circular road trip. Also a stiff shot to accompany the idle tides of island life. Everything repeats but is never quite the same.
Peter Sant (whose second Maltese shot and produced feature Ε»afΕΌifa, is coincidently unleashed 13th May to cinemas across the island). He plays his guitar with adapted capos, irregular tunings & metallic chop sticks, treating the instrument as a sound device but not afraid to keep it simple, melodic and classic at the same time. On Bass is Mark Axiak, a prolific player whoβs traversed stages and studios from Australia to NY to Berlin to Oslo and now Birkirkara, where heβs built StudioX, smashing out organic recordings and productions for a host of our young talent. In Spinozas Dog heβs playing bass with an electronic edge. Taking the four string plank into synthesiser realms with pitched reverse loops and filters. Lastly Kristian Craig Robinson better known as the eclectic musician/producer Capitol K. Once described as βthe punk warlord of grooveβ for his electronic programming has finally gone acoustic on full drum kit with open tone and light touch. When not in Malta heβs based in famed London studio TRC, one of the epicentres of UKβs fervant music scene.
Spinozas Dog bring a unique vibration and welcome addition to an emerging vibrant live music network in Malta.
