About Chaos Condensed
Chaos Condensed was a loose collective of writers, musicians, programmers, poets, sorcerers, clowns, designers and tricksters who happened to record a spoken word CD as one of the possible means to express some of the ideas developed by the group’s investigations, debate and cross-discipline collaborations. Defining “Chaos” as the “Tabula Rasa” state where nothing is fixed and every option is possible and “The Machine” as the attitude which locks beliefs into dogmas that are not to be discussed or reinterpreted, Chaos Condensed try to express a system of thought which challenges every assumed notion of what things “are” or are “supposed” to be.
Some of the influences named by the collective are Austin Osman Spare, Phil Hine, Pete Carroll, Hakim Bey, Robert Anton Wilson, Situationism, Surrealism, Chaos Magick, Discordianism, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Yorgos Sefferis, Edmond Jabés, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Paul Auster, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Fravia+, Noam Chomsky, Jello Biafra and lots of penguins.
Unfortunately for international audiences, the ideas and poetry expressed in Chaos Condensed’s recorded works cannot be easily translated into other languages than Spanish, as only using our mother tongue were we all able to achieve the subtlety and precission we needed. It’s not that we didn’t want to reach broader audiences – it’s simply that we didn’t feel we could develop our full potential in any language we didn’t have anything short of a perfect grasp of.
