this is a really bizarre post i know...
i wrote a paper for an english class at uni. describing my experience seeing ferry corsten spin live in new york... now all i need is a title, but im having a hard time coming up with one. im sort of a perfectionist... anyway heres the paper, and if you can think of a fabu title pls respond to this post! (:
| quote: | In a dank, isolated street off 10th Avenue in downtown Manhattan, hundreds of young clubbers stand in a line that inches towards an inconspicuous door. Clad is close-fitting clothes, they listlessly chain smoke while speculating with their friends about what the night holds in store. The façade of the building is entirely dark- the only indication of the mayhem taking place inside is a throbbing, incessant bass line that permeates the entire city block.
Towering above the crowd, hulking men stand guard at the main door. Collecting tickets, checking IDs, and performing the perfunctory frisking for illicit substances, these men are the last obstacle to the clubber’s goal: to see Ferry Corsten, the world-renowned Dutch DJ, spin a live 4-hour set.
Once inside, the clubbers pass through a tunnel of blinding-white tiles, set over a floor of iridescent spheres. Beyond the tunnel is a scene of profound turmoil: a cavernous room packed with writhing bodies in various states of consciousness and undress. Strobe lights, proton bulbs, and laser arrays transform normal vision into series of discrete, still images; CO2 cannons discharge in regular intervals, lowering the entire room’s temperature by 20 degrees in 5 seconds. Visibility is reduced to a mere 3 feet. The only sense that you can rely on is that of hearing- and Ferry Corsten, through his set of turntables, cases of vinyl LPs, and countless batteries of speakers placed in strategic positions throughout the room, controls the hearing of more than 1,400 clubbers.
Rising above the chaos at the front of the room is a dais on which Ferry deftly manipulates his equipment. Hunched under a pair of headphones, he strains to hear the next track and gauge the timing that will lead to the seamless progression the crowd yearns for. Ferry fades out the bass, leaving only an arpeggio that careens towards impossible heights. The throng ceases moving. Hands are lifted as if in religious praise, and all eyes are fixed on the DJ’s face. With an adroit flick of his wrist, Ferry turns a knob, releasing the full force of the subwoofers on the crowd, which responds with a crushing roar. |
