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…

Film: drops.walks

drops.walks is my first attempt at serious film making. it’s a short meditation on sexual chimerism and waning consent. or maybe it was just an excuse to make out with a lot of people in one day.

drops.walks was created for the tubs film challenge, an event sponsored by the northwest film forum of seattle, washington. Constructed with the creative assistance of sara murat and steven miller acting as camera people, cinematographers and providing onsite documentation. a lot of photographs were taken and a few have been used here and there in my work. check out the post ‘the end of all flesh‘ to see a few.

my good friend jessie smith of dead bird movement edited the film while i slept on a nearby sofa and robb kunz, also known as inphase prod/audible semaphore group, and i collaborated on the soundtrack.

at present i’m working on more films. i have this idea that i’d like to have 5 to a dozen short flicks produced by the end of 2009. none of them will be more than 5 or so minutes long. each will will be inhabited by a single theme or motif. dialogue free and purely expressions of art. well, they’ll be art in so much as they can’t be called anything else…

dirty bomb! the video!

my friend filastine has finally made a music video.

it’s pretty damn fabulous and feels just like our conversations on life and culture.

check it and then go grab his new record, ‘dirty bomb,’ at www.postworldindustries.com

for the record, i suggested multiple times that he call the new effort ‘dirty dirty bomb bomb,’ but that was all for (dread)naught…

art idea # 3: ‘whitebodycurtain’ (or silently yellow, too)

you will need:

1. a film or video to display

2. a projector

3. a lot of naked people.

paint your naked people white or yellow.

have them lined up as closely as possible. train them for various movements if you like as long as they stay close. if your projection is long you will want enough naked people to rotate them out in rounds, as in, one person leaves as another person joins. this could go on indefinitely.

project the film or video on their bodies.

this is an installation.
