Gendjer2: Borderless Music

The world is a better place with music in it and this song in particular brightens my day. It’s apparently based on an older Indonesian political song, bu I haven’t been able to get any (detailed) info on that. I’d like to and, if that happens, I’ll update this post.

For now I’d like to present the latest single from my dear friend Filastine and his compadre Nova. Her voice plus his music equals stuck in my head. Gendjer2 ladies and gents and the rest of us from Filastine’s latest album, £00T. The whole thing is this good…

Pol Rosenthal has been working in Seattle's theater and music scenes for over 20 years. He used to publish a cultural arts journal then moved to Seattle to be in a rock band, TCHKUNG. This lead to him working with DK Pan's senses altering Butoh company, the P.A.N. In the late 90s he worked for sonic conspiracy company Muzak and while walking out the door helped found radical street art/action group the Infernal Noise Brigade. There he befriended and became a member of multi-disciplinary effort The Degenerate Art Ensemble. Eventually, he moved in next door to Seattle theater company Implied Violence (now St. Genet) and has enjoyed a multi-year, unhealthy relationship to their demanding work and philosophies. Last year he was in Curtis Taylor's 'The White Days' as an "actor". Presently he's wrapped up dancing in Paige Barnes' modern dance piece 'Lead Bunny' (Oct 2012) and is working on Dayna Hanson's rock musical 'Gloria's Cause'. In October he collaborated with Real Change editor Rosette Royale on a wonderful installation, 'JungleBox', for City Arts Fest.
