48 Cameras, often referred simply as 48C, is a musical and international collective in a format that varies according to circumstances. It was created in 1984 by both musicians and non-musicians (the line-up varies greatly), some currently living in Belgium, Scotland, Germany, etc. To this day, 48 Cameras recorded 13 albums, the work being done frequently via the Internet (some of the members have never met), allowing the collective to welcome various guests from diverse cultures and a wide range of disciplines : Annemarie Borg (Antara Project),〔http://www.antara-project.com〕 Rodolphe Burger, Andy Cairns (Therapy?), David Coulter, Michel Delville, Sandy Dillon, Michael Gira, Marcel Kanche, Tom Heasley, Gerard Malanga, Martyn Bates, (Eyeless in Gazza), DJ Olive, Charlemagne Palestine, Philippe Poirier, Nicholas Royle, Eugène Savitzkaya, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Malka Spiegel, Vesica Piscis, Aaron Ximm, etc. The music created has interestingly been described as being alternative, ambient, art rock, dark, folk, industrial or even psychedelic. Rightly or wrongly, the collective has been compared to bands as Coil, Psychic TV or Current 93.〔http://pointculture.be/decouvrir/chroniques/48-cameras-after-all-isnt-tango-the-dance-of-the-drunk-man_1720〕 Paul Buck, the author of the novel "The Honeymoon Killers", was once a member of the collective. Due to the characteristics of the collective, 48 Cameras has only performed on stage seven times in its 31 years of existence : in Paris, Nancy, Brussels and Liege. In March 2004, the RTBF’s "Les 100 minutes de Tyan" gave its last second two hours long programme to the collective. Jean M. Mathoul, one of the members of the collective, once said, paraphrasing David Herbert Lawrence: "Our music could be a music written in a foreign language which we would not totally like to master". The name of the collective refers to Muybridge and to a Jim Morrison's poem : "''Muybridge derived his animal subjects from the Philadelphia Zoological Garden, male performers from the University. The women were professional artists' models, also actresses and dancers, parading nude before the 48 cameras' (in "The Lords and the new creatures").〔http://paulcarrollwriter.blogspot.be/2010/07/review-lords-new-creatures.html〕 == Discography == *"B-Sides are for lovers" (vinyl / 1985 / 139 K's Records) Reissued in 2009 by Infrastition (France) under the shape of a digipack including two bonus tracks *"Third & last imitation of Christ" ( CD / 1992 / Besides) *"Easter, November & a year" (CD / 1994 / Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier) *"Me, my youth & a bass drum" (CD / 1996 / Big Bang) *"From dawn to dust & backwards" (CD / 1997 / Besides) *"THREE weeks WITH my DOG" with Gerard Malanga as guest (CD / 1999 / Besides) *"I swear I saw garlic growing under my father's steps" (CD / 2002 / Interzone) *"Three weeks long, I saw garlic growing under my dog's steps" (2005_2006 / Dead Scarlet Records) reissued under the shape of a double digipack of the previous two albums *"After all, isn't tango the dance of the drunk man?"
