This is the cover for a live mix tape I did for EC Brown’s COMA 13: Heatwave. The cover is a collage of appropriated album covers. Naked Eyes self titled LP inverted is the background. The three gentlemen from Revolting Cock’s album Big Sexy Land are surrounding a silhouette of the fabulous J/Wayne Country.

The mix is very happy, layered, fast, and a bit rough.

On April 13, 2007 Meg Duguid and Catie Olson threw pies at each other in the name of science.

I Can Toss. Can You Smash? What a Splat! A Pie Research Project asks these questions:

“Although the cream pie seems to be the favorite of pieing moments, is it really the most effective comedy investment? Or is it the best for black and white film, where pieing had its media heyday?”

We will have to wait for their report to be published to get the answers, but for now there is some visual evidence on flickr.

Saxophonist Celia Whiren and Artist Jacob Christopher collaborated on a set of improvised electroacoustic music as a sonic response to the collaborative painting show "Hot Mess" by Peter Hoffman and Caleb Lyons at Green Lantern.

Painting is a thing full of difficulties, but bunnies are easy to love.

What does it mean to drop yourself wholeheartedly into a moment? To be out there on the edge, opened up for all to see. It means something, perhaps something hard to articulate, maybe something warm on a hard frozen night. Speaking of the rigid, the structural systems behind this event; collaboration, mirroring and cross discipline interaction fascinate me. These things have a way of pushing the raw emotional performative moments out in front and framing them. If you weren’t there you missed out!

Chris Vollan smoking in the parking lot at night on cardboard is the third Midnight video.

The blocks and the chairs in progress.

This is the second video of the Midnight series. Following the same system of action on cardboard on asphalt at midnight.

The soundtracks to these videos are constructed deliberately using a similar systematic structure. Mixed live, old songwriters pitched down and enmeshed in more current dark beats.

One of it’s concerns is a misreading of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Ribbon of Darkness” as “River of Darkness”:

Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-atherin’ o’er my head

Which I misread and chopped/rearranged to be:

Fears I’ve never had before
Bound together in all my years
River of darkness over me

I dubbed out Run-DMC’s “Mary Mary” into a sratched echoy mess, and strung it into the intro for Rick James’ “Cold Blooded”, and held the whole thing together with L-Wiz’s “Girlfriend”. Then I mixed in and rearranged Gordon’s text.

This pulls from several sub-genre I am obviously obsessed with: Screwed and Chopped, Dubscape, Midwestern Hardcore, and Singers and Songwriters of my childhood.
