Mono.Kultur #29: Chris Taylor/Grizzly Bear
“Those times when your heart felt kind of warmed, like a glowing lightbulb was inside of you.”
It is a rare moment when a band or musician creates a sound that defies comparison – which is why American underground phenomenon Grizzly Bear have been on our wish list for some time. Creating a strange and strangely addictive sonic universe, the Brooklyn Quartet nonetheless and unexpectedly succeeded to attract not only a dedicated following, but also mainstream praise.
With bassist Chris Taylor having just released his first and irresistably groovy solo album as CANT, which turned out to be a grand surprise exercise in sloppy funk, all the more reason to make a wish come true and dedicate our latest issue #29 to the prolific and eclectic musician, producer and master cook, who was even kind enough to share the recipe for an entire dinner with us.
In a beautifully relaxed conversation, Chris Taylor talked with mono.kultur about the ,agic of making music, why perfect does not necessarily mean good and the meditative effect of motorcycling.
For this issue, Chris Taylor not only shared a dinner recipe with us, but also opened his archive of personal photographs for this issue. And since Taylor is a man of many talents, we thought it only appropriate to include a poster as cover to expand the world of Terrible into all directions.

KOKIN (…) SLENDRO. Julien Grossmann
Six minimalist electro-acoustic songs based on six different musical scales:
Rumanikos, Kokin, Myxolidian, Kourd Atar Todi, Pigmy and Slendro.
These also constitute the soundtrack for an installation by Julien Grossmann, where they each are played from a different turntable, while intricately modelled islands revolve in cycle, placed at the middle of the corresponding records.
With a text by James Beckett and a sleeve designed by Boy Vereecken.

Cine Qua Non #4
Bilingual Arts Magazine – Winter/Spring 2011 #4
Cine Qua Non is an arts magazine of the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (ULICES) built up by movements in written form that freely crisscross reflections, reviews or essays; movements that relate music to visual arts, dance to theatre, cinema to literature. This publication intends to submit its readers to a unique editorial approach that gathers artists, researchers and teaching staff, Portuguese or foreign, proposing texts of different nature about diverse artistic expressions. Cine Qua Non is, since its first printed issue, an entirely bilingual publication (Portuguese/English) that is presented in both versions: an online edition and a printed one.

‘Heaven is Real’ John Maus and the Truth of Pop by Adam Harper
John Maus is one of the most intriguing artists in the millennial wave of lo-fi pop, assembling his unique and intimate language from synth pop, disco, baroque classical and church music. Yet Maus’s work is much more than another exercise in retroist hybridity, and his overtures on truth and love are, upon further listening, no mere ironic posturing. Does Maus have something to teach us about arriving at the truth through personal musical expression, or is he on a doomed Romantic adventure? Has he really discovered Heaven – and can he take us there?
