Synopsis

This book with artistic custom cover was completely pulled off DIY from concept through marketing through finance through product development through post production through distribution and provided a main funding source for the completed PiL album called Commercial Zone 2014.
The book recalls the DIY British music/art/design/cultural/political revolution that began in streets of West London and went global in 1976 as told to Kathy DiTondo by Keith Levene, founder member of "the only band that matters" - the Clash.. The Clash along with the Sex Pitols were the two major bands on the West London scene.

Glaciers Requiem Glaciers Requiem

Director: Saddiq Abubakar

Year: 2026

In isolation on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Nigerian-born modular synthesis artist Colloboh transforms glacial and oceanic recordings into sonic compositions - uncovering a dialogue between ice and sea that reshapes his understanding of consciousness, ecological collapse, and humanity’s place within both. As his process unfolds, Colloboh transforms these sounds into layered sonic works that blur the boundaries between observation and communion. The film culminates in a haunting gesture: he plays the completed composition back to the landscape itself, completing a dialogue between artist and environment. A meditation on impermanence, consciousness, and the fragile bond between humanity and the natural world.
