Flux Gourmet (2022)

Jan Stevens: It's your use of a flanger

that I want to discuss.

Elle di Elle: What's a flanger?

Jan Stevens: It's an electronic device that

mixes two signals resulting in a phase shift. 

Elle di Elle: You didn't like it?

Jan Stevens: I think it should be on

a lower setting. Just fractionally. 

Elle di Elle: Why?

Jan Stevens: When you alter the sound too

much you lose all connection to the activity. 

Elle di Elle: But that's the whole point of what we do.

Why do it if it remains in the culinary context?

Jan Stevens: And why do it if it's completely

divorced from it? Then it's just sonic without the catering.

Elle di Elle: So you want catering without the sonic?

Jan Stevens: The best collectives here stretched the

elastic of their culinary sounds as far as they could,

but there was always a connection to the source

material. A semblance of what the sound once was. 

A happy 44 to Gwendoline Christie today!

Her performance in this movie is one of the year's greats.
