I'm gonna be doing a cassette DJ set later on in the night and will be screening Peter Liechti's 'Kick That Habit' at 8pm.
Made in 1989, Kick That Habit is an audio-visual portrait of writer/director Peter Liechti's homeland in Eastern Switzerland. It's an abstract piece of filmmaking that draws on the landscape and soundscape of the region, featuring Norbert Moslang and Andy Guhl of Voice Crack as prominently as it does the snowy, mountainous environs. The film cuts between performance and studio footage, intercut with Alpine picture postcard imagery as well as more industrial areas, filled with the kind of scrap and detritus Voice Crack might make their music from. The film brilliantly subverts the relationship between the cinematic image and its soundtrack from the very start, with an opening sequence depicting a game of miniature golf re-foleyed with noisy, electronically treated clanking. Similarly, we see a tap dripping water droplets into a sink whilst we hear a loud, resonant blip - it's as if the film makes you hyper-aware of the everyday environment, drawing attention to the sonorities and peculiarities of every day spaces and the sort of detritus littered throughout.
