Atoms For Peace

Atoms For Peace, c’est le nom du nouveau groupe de Thom Yorke (Radiohead).

Le groupe anglo-américain est composé de Flea (redhot), Nigel Godrich (radiohead), Joey Waroncker (R.E.M.) et Mauro Refosco.

A de nombreuses reprises, Thom Yorke a pris partis contre le nucléaire, qu’il soit civil ou militaire.

Copenhague Thom York dégoûté

Thom York du groupe Radiohead fait part de son désarroi en ce qui concerne les négociations de Copenhague.

well … i am truly disgusted about the way things have ended here. if you read in tommorrows headlines that a deal was reached?? remember it was nothing like what was needed and was filed by a bored complicit press who needed to show something for two weeks of crap.. and that it reflected the wests inability to lead decisively. that it will make alarm bells ring throughout the world. we have no international agreement. this is all too too late. i feel deeply traumatized by the whole experience. if you’d been there you would also have been.

Radiohead s’insurge contre le nucléaire

Ainsi, l’on peut lire un message de Thom sur leur site :

Nuclear power no thanks

under pressure from the CBI
and under the confused assumption that we can carry on consuming power as we do now into the future
and too afraid to think out of their own isolated political fuzzy cloud
the british government is commiting to build a new round of nuclear power stations
for which we dont have the money.
great.
just perfect.
well done fellas.
you’ve really thought about this haven’t you?

Les Lumières écolos de Radiohead

Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur les éclairages LED écolos (faible consommation électrique) de la dernière tournée de Radiohead, la personne responsable de la production des concerts, Richard Young, vient de publier un article intitulé « Lighting the LED » way sur le site web du groupe radiohead.com.

Détails techniques, mais novateurs, qui illustrent bien la volonté du groupe de prendre le problème de leur impact environnemental en détail et à la source. Espérons que cette expérience pourra être utile à d’autres techniciens du spectacle (lighteux vidéo-DJ et régisseurs).

« Andi Watson has been the lighting and visuals designer for radiohead since their club days, and has a reputation for innovation and attention to detail. It was his creative genius and strong support of the concept that brought him to suggest we go further and use LED. Back to a direct power demand system but using much less power at 100%. »

(…)

« Less power consumed and a visually stunning show. No doubt LED is the future. Technology is moving forward at a rapid rate, but LED’s look and behave differently.  Should we be striving to achieve the same result but in a low power form, or adapt to the products and use them to do new and exciting things? »
