Exit. Exito. Exitus - way out. Success. Death - on luminous boxes, spanish, clinical white. Exito - Success. "But this whole success-thing just took up", remembers Ad Reinhardt, "when some of my Black Mountain College students had thrown ardently onto the story of Paris being dead." Death in ether, the fifth season - "Cobra Killer" Annika Line Trost' lyrics may sound english but they're not; "Murdam" she breathes in persian, meaning "I am dying". Like "Pearl diver - take me higher", which could be an imploring chant to an online-shop named like that, it is a 13th century persian poetry indeed. "Ding Dong" just translates german "Klingklang", a term which is internationally well known as the name of a successfull record-label:the peak of experimentalelectronic appropriations intruding into the world of pop. From the unreal to the realm.
