The Anti Group
T.A.G.C The Anti Group Communications E.V.MMIX The original idea for the Anti Group was devised by A. Newton & S.J. Turner (R.I.P) as early as 1978, with the intention of the formation of a multi-dimensional research & development project active in many related areas. Research and Development of sound/film/video/performance and the documentation of each project was the fundamental "Modus Operandi". Strictly speaking TAGC are not a group, but a variable collection of individuals contributing under invitation and the directorship of Adi Newton, Underlining this basic idea lays the deeper philosophical and theoretical work of TAGC; The C derived from Communications and to also infer the DNA code of genetics. The primary concern of TAGC is the systematic research and development and documentation and the, expansion of the connections and concepts that are explored and experimented within the fabric of sound, and its theoretical possibilities and its advancement..Also the expansion of Consciousness whether via applied use of computers and audiovisual technology or via arcane systems of Magick or other Occult or esoteric sciences. The last recorded works of TAGC concerned with A.S.B. audio stimulation of the brain, particularly the pieces under the title "A.A.A." & A.A.A.(Audio Alpha Activity & Accelerated Audio Alpha Activity ) respectively These recordings are available on "Meontological Research Recording Record 1" and "Meontological Research Recording Record 2 - 'Teste Tones". Recording number three in the series, which takes the research further into the role of frequencies and rhythms, particularly the codification of rhythmic structures employed in Voodoo rituals to attain trance states is being scheduled for release.The first non theoretical action devised by TAGC was the Film "The Delivery", a 16mm celluloid dual screen film projection and soundtrack, and the Anti theatre performance piece "The Discussion" designed for five tape recorders and multi-video projection systems a anti theatre piece devised / edited and mixed solely by Adi Newton,it involved 5 open reel Revox taperecorders arranged round a table similar to that which would be arranged for a meeting. The 5 TAPES where physically edited from several hours of documents representing different aspects of the Discussion, performed once as it was based purely on aleotory procedures as it was devised to allow maximum chance occurrences and the emergence of new semantic relationships similar techniques where applied to the 16mm dual screen version of The Delivery that was also premiered at the same event a live Audio Visual recording was made and plans to produce a documentary about these and other TAGC live works are also planned.
