JORDI MITJÀ
Burners of dreams, economies and rhythms.

(México DF, 2003), a video documenting the daily activity of some of the many street "burners" of records wandering around the Mexican capital.

Rhythm.
Someone who goes after a rhythmic pattern. Someone who pirates it. Someone who pirates-reproduces a pattern and a model. Does rhythm sell? If it is constructed anonymously, if rhythm -any rhythm- is the lure... what is that sells? A cd is mixed, the Mafia changes its name. Whereas in the Empire paramilitary wars of internal Mafias are disguised as "conflicts", in the industry of this empire war against piracy is the camouflage of the Mafias that come in and out of the law and their roles permanently. Does rhythm sell? They know better than anyone: they look for it, they make it eternal.

Someone goes after a rhythmic pattern witch will catch the consumer. The show guarantees sales, sales guarantee the show. Cuts and interferences are cheap. Politics are liberal.

Military electronics for civil use, extra-musical development and residue in the core. The 4x4 drive of mechanical rhythm, but also the car of a multimillionaire guerrilla member and his cocaine. A cd gives more profit than cocaine. Plantations of cd's and grass burning. Rhythm burnt the wheel.

War to piracy will soon be called "lasting freedom operation" and the settlement of a new regime will perpetuate Mafias consolidated in the law.
Rhythm will help them progress. Microsounds (impossible to be played out loud in the middle of the streets) are an alternative to business. If microsounds do not evolve and overpower military software they will be lost in an irritating loop. A pirate is not who sells but who loots. A pirate cd is music that steals. The rest is just a trick of the most propagandistic Mafia.
