Alejandra and Aeron are best known as the founders of the Lucky Kitchen
imprint that they started in New York in 1997. As an artist couple
they work in the dynamic yet much underestimated field between documentary,
narrative, sound and music. With their every choice, they deny spectacle
and pure entertainment, however unlike most protests, they prefer
to work with degrees of beauty and softness. The "Scotch Monsters"
release is an audio revision from the installation "Revisionland"
that was presented at The Changing Room, Stirling, Scotland in 2002
(curated by Diskono): in an English garden buried mushroom shaped
speakers in the soil played a version of the work on this CD.
"Scotch Monsters" includes the sounds of 16 Scottish
spirits. In Scotch myth, people are sometimes warned of the presence
of monsters by the particular sounds they make. Monsters and their
sounds always fill a spiritual need of thecommunity. History and
legend weave together,and certainly interact with us today: if we
pay attention to these kinds of things.
Note:The previously released Bottrop-Boy 12 inch which is only
available in a very limited edition was based on a slightly different
version - the present recording is the third and final rework.

Notes from the authors:
"At the Changing Room Project Space in Stirling, Scotland,
the gate to the highlands, we made an English garden, and buried
mushroom shaped speakers in the soil.
