Battery Operated
re: CORD

Album 2005 on Cocosolidciti label
Dance (IDM, Electro, Experimental)

Mastered at Kouz Studio, Paris 2003. For the ‘re: CORD’ (Company Of Record Delivery) CD/DVD project, Battery Operated had a black box’ from an aircraft replicated and split into 10 sections. 10 music artists were then chosen from around the world and the ‘black box’ was couriered to them one after the other. Each artist was asked to submit his or her favourite conspiracy theory in sonic, visual and written form. When the box had reached Australia and its final destination, it was sent back to Battery Operated to start remixing the music and video/image tracks. Using all the original tracks as a large sound bank, Battery Operated constructed a 50-minute remix album of melodic and experimental electro tinged beats for the CD. An 8-page booklet and 50-minute video on DVD, suggesting an overall conspiracy theory makes up this singular package. The 10 artists who submitted tracks also have their original compositions placed on the DVD. Track 1-01 is a single CD index but listed as two separate tracks on inner sleeve: "2738 4877 8474" (0:20) and "Illogical Logistics" (3:52). DVD contains 3 indexes: "Soundtracks", "Video/Images" and "Texts".
