The flaw is our plan

quetempo is a receiver/broadcaster of sounds/ideas/vision/social narratives. It is a free association of individuals/units/collaborators/instantaneous devices. A multitude of frequencies/of decentralized autonomous departments.

We use each technological advance in sonics and optics in an anti-scientific manner/progress is achieved thru the destruction of its own tools of development/the history of progress is generated from the history of its failures and not its successes. Less market production/unique under-development/immediate access:

Using any means at our disposal (by any means possible): cd/dvd/vinyl/print/new media/live situations. Movements develop, “The movement” is static. quetempo is not a movement-it is its disparate parts: it is a multitude of singularities and subjectivities constantly moving. Direct confrotation between broadcaster and receiver/between player and listener/between the stage and the audience Point zero/white, empty page/clean slate. Each project is designed to be immediate and yet incomplete. It is only completed once it has been listened to/looked at/experienced.

The methodology of chance/non-rational thought patterns developed thru streams of consciousness/random structures built on shifting terrain-created to dissolve(implode). quetempo plans the flaw, a hypothesis of an ill-logical, non-orderly and aesthetically inconsistent relationship of it’s parts. Listens/looks/guesses/moves/breathes/changes.

quetempo is a red&black label.

Make nothing according to plan

With little in mind but self-publishing initially, quetempo started off in 2003 in Athens, Greece.

Gradually but not super-methodically, a loose team of creative individuals has formed. Pooling ideas and resources, and based on our own inconsistencies, casual interaction, and sometimes pure determination, we use quetempo as a public stage for encouraging and communicating innovation and experimentation with audiovisual media. We support, we discuss, we respect.

Responsibility and profits are equally split with the artists. The sort of people who enjoy learning by experience, we’ll happily take on every turn a project takes us. Inspiration works in strange ways, if this sounds like a deal, consider it an open call.
