2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

ACTRESS' NEW ALBUM

Post date Tue 17 Aug 2010 11:37 AM

Werk Discs label head Darren Cunningham (a.k.a. Actress) 

MALMÖ IS WET WET WET.

IT LOOKS LIKE MY US TOUR IS CANCELLED.

TODAY I ATE POPCORN AND CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST AND WASHED IT DOWN WITH SOME PUKE.

BUT I WILL NOT DISPAIR, I WILL SPEND MY MORNING AS I HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST WEEK, LISTENING TO ACTRESS' NEW ALBUM SPLAZSH. AND INSTEAD OF HOPING FOR THIS LONELINESS AND SADNESS TO LEAVE ME I WILL HOLD IT CLOSE AND IT WILL MAKE ME WARM THROUGH THIS WET DAY.

ACTRESS' ALBUM IS DEFIANTELY ONE OF THE FINEST THINGS TO COME OUT OF 2010. FANCY AND FINE.

Actress – Senorita – Splazsh

Today’s other very strong candidate for album of the year comes from Actress, the album is called Splazsh, and I’d be inclined to say the same genre-defying description applies to it, were it not for the fact that Darren himself has chosen a term for his sound, “R&B Concréte.” Mixing shards of R&B with an attention to engineering detail a la musique conréte, the terms UK garage and two step are hardly fitting for music that successfully conveys a sense of artistry that has become largely devoid in today’s sub-obsessed sphere of dubstep influence (I bring dubstep into this because I’ve seen Actress and Loefah share the marquee at Dub War, playing one after the other), too concerned with the worthy cause of blasting bass to imbue their songs with the feel like listeners are experiencing fine art.

 

 

 

Experimental electronic producer Actress joins Gilles in the studio to talk about the latest album ‘Splazsh’, his early musical influences and forthcoming projects, as well as playing a  bunch of killer tunes.
