Noise Cluster
Medusa, Who Else?
Noise Cluster is an industrial/noise project by Flavio Derbekannte and Arianna Degni Lombardo of DBPIT and XxeNa,
started June, 2016. 'Medusa, Who Else?' looks afresh at the ancient myth from the modern perspective which depicts the
only attractive Gorgon not as the evil creature she is traditionally portrayed to be, but as a victim whose narrative
was twisted to better serve a patriarchal culture. Those who dared to look into her eyes were turned to stone because of
the coldness in their own hearts, but Medusa was blamed for the stony fortress constructed around their own souls. Her
hair was turned into magical snakes by the goddess Athena as a punishment for having been raped by the god Poseidon in
her temple. Her gaze was known to turn men into stone and only by a cunning trick did Perseus manage to behead her,
during a supposedly suicide mission the king Polydectes had sent him on, in order to get rid of him and have a free hand
with his mother. In conclusion, this new musical interpretation illustrates how hers is the story of a witch-hunt, a
case of victim blaming where the real perpetrator is condoned, thus turning her into a symbol of all the victims of
sexual abuse. Please note this this is an environment-friendly CD-free release to help reduce plastic pollution. You
will get an A3 art poster printed on high-quality recycled paper which comes in a fine black paper envelope with an
illustrated seal and a Bandcamp download code.
Limited to 100 copies only.
