DROWNED PARADISE

Synopsis

Drowned Paradise is an altered ecosystem in constant dissonance, a place where the beauty of mystical creatures mingle with the noise of toxic elements, where our materialistic desires collide with the hope of others. A thrilling sonic and visual experience from the superficiality of our digital age to the depths of our dark reality as a species. Die! Goldstein manipulates imagery in real time through technological algorithms in synchronization with sonic analog instruments, creating a reactive immersive audiovisual experience.

REVIEWS / INTERVIEWS


DIE! GOLDSTEIN at Resonancias on Radio 3Die! Goldstein at Resonancias on Radio 3, a radio broadcast in the Spanish National Radio. Listen it here: https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/resonancias/die-goldstein/6586321/



"The most powerful performance of the festival. With an enormous burden of social protest that stirred people's consciences."

Rosa Perez. Radio 3, RNE -National Radio of Spain- about the D!G performance at the International Film Festival of Valladolid in a radio interview: http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/fluido-rosa/fluido-rosa-live-cinema-seminci-30-10-17/4277467/


"Die! Goldstein's work is moving, challenging, and intensely thought-provoking: deliberately juxtaposing images of out-of-control consumerism with the often heart-breaking images of the ruthless exploitation that stands behind it. The viewer is confronted with the disturbing reality of the world today, a reality that is all too often suppressed and hidden from view in the western world. At a time when Utopia is increasingly becoming a technological possibility, why is humanity currently heading towards a dark and apparently 'inevitable' Dystopia? This a question that everybody should be asking themselves."

David Braithwaite. Neon Kunst gallery founder, Berlin


"Die! Goldstein is an artist that allows his audience to delve into his dystopia that aesthetically pleases and makes one consider their existence. Through his work, a story is told; one that brings us back to the reality of our contribution to society. A humanitarian working towards awakening members of society, one could say. Live cinema is a powerful art that Die! Goldstein has masterfully utilised in order to contribute to a better understanding of civilisations. Die! Goldsteins capabilities can be utilised alongside a variety of sounds and music, as well as concepts. His recent contribution to I AM NOT A FORTUNE COOKIE event saw him meet the many requests made. His openness and will to contribute to this event was highly appreciated and fulfilling. I can only hope that I am able to work alongside Die! Goldstein again."

Vicky Truong. -I am not a Fortune Cookie- festival organizer


"Die! Goldstein presented his Dystopia / Utopia project, entering fully into a large part of the current problems associated with the global development and the inequalities it generates. That is how terrifying images captured at very distant points of the planet went before our eyes, giving certain prominence to compromising situations that also arise in our own country. Conducting all this avalanche of critical information, we find a musician capable of achieving pleasant electronic atmospheres but at the same time incisive and hazy soundscapes. In this way, the concepts most permeated with industrial and noise music played a major role, starring pangs in environments that started from nature to enter the most devastated scenarios. This perfect combination of sounds, that suggested a constant stalking, along with the great capacity to remove consciences from the images that circulated before us, provoked moments where the stupefaction based on realism was a constant. "
