it has been a pretty whirlwind past couple of weeks, and now it is finally starting to kick into summer here in NY. Lots to report in terms of music and art making
(keep yer eyes peeled for the pure fire mix from NRON and the Pure Fire crew from subtonic, new track with Small Change and forthcoming 12″ Negative Dianetics)
but that is not the point here.
The point here is to try to find space to imagine, create a space, dig it out of the hole, carve it out from the saturated mass of buy buy sell sell and rebuild the links that fed our energies to do what we did that brought us pleasure. Not to wax nostalgic, summer brings out memories of freedoms; the woods behind my house were my real home in the summer, then the parkinglots of the flat strips that were called my town, all forming a fear and imagined future where we could make some kind of positive change to this truly imbalanced planet.
here is a new way. make your own worlds. situate yourself and the things that make you you. wiki + gmap = wikimapia.org
foreground the automatons, mechanical turk from amazon makes us sheep. do sheep make sheep? we are not sheep. (learn its history. Is this the future?)
I am looking forward to a summer where we can eek out the space to
copy, repeat, scratch and break and make, and try to build some dissarray into everything we make.
