Nevertheless it is the passion, the density and the assimilation of the topics that dominate over intrinsic coherence. From the audio "abuse" of Charlemagne Palestine and Pere Ubu, the noise of Ground Zero and Masonna, to the pre click'n'glitch abstractions of François-Bernard Mâche. historio-critical theories.
