I was just checking out references to Hegemony by Ben Sharpa on Google when I came across, Be Sharp, Be Subtle, Be Complex on Flight808.com. The article is interesting in that it goes beyond the usual superficial references to musical style and analyses both the content and visual language of Sharpa’s videos.
“(Hegemony) is extremely capable at accomplishing it’s goal of creating within the viewer the visceral feeling of what going through daily life under the constant threat of attack and fear of having your liberties stripped from you.”
Whilst searching Google, I also noticed that the video for Hegemony is part of the required viewing for the Introduction to Cultural Studies at Columbia College in Chicago!
That’s how we rrrrrrrrrroll!!
