A seventeen-year-old girl experiences a sexual awakening when she falls head over heels in love with her female teacher. She writes this down in her diary, and writes so well, vividly and recognizably that both mother and grandmother think the book should be published. Without taking into account that the girl has only written it to keep the crush alive for herself.
Rural Tapes is the moniker of the Norwegian producer Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen. He has released 4 albums and received wide coverage in international music press ever since his debut in 2021. MOJO referred to the project as a hybrid between Kraftwerk, Tortoise, Air and Serge Gainsbourg, and musicians like Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate) and Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor) have contributed to the albums. The project exists in several formats; live, Rural Tapes is most often a quartet, but Kjelsrud Mathisen also performs solo, with clear nods to Terry Riley or Harmonia and Cluster, and this spring he embarks on a tour in Europe with improvised solo concerts.
On April 25th, "Alien Territories vol. 1" will be released, the first in a series of cassette releases from Rural Tapes. This release consists of long stretches of tape experiments and loops recorded on old tape echo machines, and for the concert at IL KINO, Kjelsrud Mathisen will bring tape machines, dictaphones and synths to perform an improvised set of ambient and droney soundscapes.
During summer, colorful beach bars and umbrellas line the pristine white dunes of Porto Pino, while in winter, gunfire and fighter jets dominate the landscape. Part of the dunes lies within Sardinia’s largest military base, accessible to beachgoers only during summer. Over the years, the dunes have visibly shrunk. Locals whisper about a legend: Silvio Berlusconi stole the sand and moved it to his scandal-ridden villa in northern Sardinia.
Starting with this rumor, LA DUNA questions: Who owns the land? The film interweaves true stories of expropriation, resistance, and the struggle for identity—featuring a farmer who fights NATO with goat skulls, a fisherman taking tourists to a radioactive island, a livestock breeder who defeats an international real estate consortium, a seasonal waitress envisioning a matriarchal yacht club, and a scattered Sardinian family caught in the "Battle for the Narrative.”
