Tetine (Bruno Verner e Eliete Mejorado) 1] An experimental pop promo... a performance of sound in images... the manifestation of a song in dream, as a story or antistory told to someone through image, sound, rhythm and speed. 2] Drum machines, synthesizers, vocals, people (almost always including Bruno and myself), open/closed spaces, clothes, wigs, lip-sync, plants, light, shoes, narrative, rhythm, painting, collage, lipstick, cabaret, make-up, the past/present/future in pop music, experimental music, street dance, cheap cameras, drinks, money, colour, effects, animation, improvisation, silence, feedback, nature, cinema, performance, television, VHS, super 8, speech and writing, animals, microphones, silver, sex, internet, superheroes, anti-heroes, bureaucrats, artists, working class heroes, celebrities, friends…being alive. 3] The chance to change the way someone sees something.
