Commentaires du réalisateur: Closing Act Nick Currie, more popularly known under the artist name Momus (after the Greek god of mockery) is a songwriter, blogger and a journalist for Wired. Most of his songs are self-referential or postmodern. for more than twenty years he has been releasing, to only marginal commercial and critical sucess, playful and transgressive albums on labels in the united kingdom, the united states, and japan. In his lyrics and his other writing he makes seemingly random use of decontextualized pieces of continental (mostly French) philosophy, and has built up a personal world he says is "dominated by values like diversity, orientalism, and a respect for otherness". For call+ response, momus will perform a set of cover versions, in which e will improvise new and somewhat nonsensical lyrics to old standards. This links with the concept of his last album, which put google-translated lyrics over music inspired by Asian torch songs.
