Neurobash delivers pro-Lars Vilks video soundtrack

Some things need (y)our support, so here we go. The second act of the musical "Dogs" by Lars Vilks with music by Neurobash has now been officially released on YouTube. The video, directed by Yamo Kawaiah, takes on the story right where the first part ended. The musical documents the so called "Modog-affair", following the publication of Vilks' drawing of the prophet Muhammad as a "round-about-dog". (Editor's note: the Swedes and their crazy ideas of decorating roundabouts with sculptures of dogs.) Ranging from minor protests to death threats directed towards Lars Vilks, the reactions have been pretty diverse.

Johan from Neurobash: "What was a simple artwork has become a symbol for the freedom of speech. The musical is, from Vilks, view a way to take the decision yet a step further on whether there should be a censorship for art or not. As it is now, its is clear, there does indeed seem to be limits to what can be expressed in the open."

For Neurobash the writing of the music for the musical is a continuation of prior successful collaboration with Vilks, namely the composing of a musical suite for the 10 year anniversary of the micro nation of Ladonia in 1996. This collaboration resulted in a soundtrack album entitled "Ladonian Incidents", released on Electric Fantastic Sound of Sweden the same year. For the performing of the music live at the anniversary, the constellation was selected national band of Ladonia and is since then the second electronic band after Laibach to become entitled as such.
