VISIONS OF HENRY MILLER

Got back to LA for a bit after the Northwest tour. We have forgotten how draining living in the city can be so after resting back into health after days of unrest and nights of sleep deprivation, we are going away to get inspiration for the next recordings/collaborations we will be doing with deadART. and this is where we will be.

Big Sur

"If we are always arriving and departing, it is also
true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination
is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things."
— Henry Miller

MAGICK SHOWS and PERFORMANCES

“Dub offered the perfect score to the world’s deepening post-colonial dusk. Started, so legend goes, by Kingston's King Tubby in his studio on 18 Drumille Avenue, dub is basically this: a song sunk into the cavernous depths of a mixing board, stripped of its secure pop substances, and returned to the world as an electrified monster or vampire. (It's no accident that vampires appear on the covers of numerous dub LPs.) With dub, what was once flesh and bone is transformed into vague melodies that suddenly appear and vanish, moans that rise and recede, and bass lines that move through the echo-haze like phantoms in a haunted house. Dub is the "ghost dimension" of the real pop song; there is no body in dub, just a flickering afterimage of what was once a body.” (Charles Mudede)
