KILL THE EGO IN JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE
Friday, January 8, 2010
Juxtapoz #108 | January 2010
Soundwalk’s Kill the Ego has been listed as one of Juxtapoz Magazine’s Top 100 Moments of 2009.
“Kill the Ego started as a song [of New York] by the sound design team Soundwalk. Insert an epic song [built over ten years of fragmented memories, voices of pimps and engineers, poets and domanitrixes, visionaries and children, hope and sorrow] into Rostarr’s psyche. After some internalizing, mixing with their own hopes, dreams and aesthetic vision, the result is ‘Kill the Ego’.
“The film is a remarkable mix of motion-painting, capturing street sounds, and it plays as this incredible narrative . . .amazing.” – Eric Pricco
Kill the Ego will be shown at Centre Pompidou, Paris, in February 2010.
