While he may be best known for his music with Einstürzende Neubauten and the Bad Seeds, Blixa Bargeld is also multimedia philosopher, frequently working with performers, visual artists, and other musicians. His ongoing project, The Execution of Precious Memories, began in Berlin in 1994 and has since crossed the globe with performances from Osaka to Cameroon. Gathering together intimate recollections submitted by locals of each visited city, Bargeld and his collaborators fuse the memories into an audio-visual fictionalized exploration. For the US debut of the project, avant-garde multi-instrumentalists Nanos Operetta provide the musical component, while dance company KUNST-STOFF provides physical interpretation of the memories.
