| dbo:abstract | 48 Cameras, often referred simply as 48C, is a musical and international collective in a format that varies according to circumstances. It was created in 1984 by both musicians and non-musicians (the line-up varies greatly), some currently living in Belgium, Netherlands, United Kingdom, etc. To this day, 48 Cameras recorded 13 albums, the work being done frequently via the Internet (some of the members have never met), allowing the collective to welcome various guests from diverse cultures and a wide range of disciplines : Annemarie Borg (Antara Project), Rodolphe Burger, Andy Cairns (Therapy?), David Coulter, Michel Delville, Sandy Dillon, Michael Gira, Marcel Kanche, Tom Heasley, Gerard Malanga, Martyn Bates, (Eyeless in Gaza), DJ Olive, Charlemagne Palestine, Philippe Poirier, Nicholas Royle, Eugène Savitzkaya, Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), Malka Spiegel, Vesica Piscis, Aaron Ximm, etc. The music created has been described as being alternative, ambient, art rock, dark, folk, industrial or even psychedelic. Rightly or wrongly, the collective has been compared to bands as Coil, Psychic TV or Current 93. Paul Buck, the author of the novel "The Honeymoon Killers", was once a member of the collective. Due to the characteristics of the collective, 48 Cameras has only performed on stage eight times in its 33 years of existence : in Amay, Paris, Nancy, Brussels and Liège. In March 2004, the RTBF’s "Les 100 minutes de Tyan" gave its last second two hours long programme to the collective. Jean M. Mathoul, one of the members of the collective, once said, paraphrasing David Herbert Lawrence: "Our music could be a music written in a foreign language which we would not totally like to master". The name of the collective refers to Muybridge and to a Jim Morrison poem : "Muybridge derived his animal subjects from the Philadelphia Zoological Garden, male performers from the University. The women were professional artists' models, also actresses and dancers, parading nude before the 48 cameras" (in "The Lords and the new creatures"). (en) 48 Cameras constitue un collectif musical et international à géométrie variable créé en 1984, incluant en son sein musiciens et non musiciens, certains d'entre eux ne s'étant jamais rencontrés, certains vivant en effet à ce jour en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas, au Royaume-Uni, etc. Ce collectif a à ce jour enregistré 14 albums et son line-up n'a jamais cessé de se modifier au fil des années, comptant à présent en son sein 5 membres. Bon nombre d'échanges entre les membres du collectif ont dès lors lieu via Internet. Un même principe a ainsi permis à 48 Cameras de recevoir, album après album, divers invités en provenance de pays, de cultures et de disciplines diverses : Rodolphe Burger, Andy Cairns, David Coulter, , Michael Gira, Marcel Kanche, , Gerard Malanga, Martyn Bates, , Charlemagne Palestine, Philippe Poirier, , Eugène Savitzkaya, Scanner, Vesica Piscis, , etc. À la manière d’une certaine théorie des dominos, ces collaborations procèdent souvent d’accidents fortuits et tissent à terme des liens qui vont en se multipliant. 48 Cameras a de même un temps compté en son sein Paul Buck, auteur du roman (deux traductions en français existent sous le titre de Les Tueurs de la lune de miel. 48 Cameras apparaît de même en filigrane dans le roman Antwerp de l'écrivain anglais . À tort ou à raison, 48 Cameras a été comparés à des formations telles que Coil, Current 93 ou encore Psychic TV. En raison même de la particularité de ce collectif, 48 Cameras n'a donné que huit concerts en 33 ans d'existence, soit à Amay, Paris, Nancy, Bruxelles, Liège et Amay. Jean Marie Mathoul - l’un des membres du collectif - paraphrasant David Herbert Lawrence: "Notre musique pourrait être une musique écrite dans une langue étrangère que nous ne souhaiterions pas totalement maîtriser".
