John Bowman
My first recollection of John Bowman is seeing Mother Fucking Tourettes in the C17 (I think) loft in the West End. Probably 2001 or 2002. Maybe. I remember why and how they blew my mind, and how John was part of that. I also remember all the brief conversations about music we had over the years, fresh and weird, and John’s unmistakeable and inimitable sweetness of character. Who could ever...

Elsewhere

Blake Williams and I spent some time there shooting some footage for one of the films in the Flux Films series. The series documents public art projects commissioned by Flux Projects.

From Suttree by Cormac McCarthy
Tilting back in his chair he framed questions for the quaking ovoid of lamplight on the ceiling to pose to him: Supposing there be any soul to listen and you died tonight? They’d listen to my death. No final word? Last words are only words. You can tell me, paradigm of your own sinister genesis construed by a flame in a glass bell. I’d say I was not unhappy. You have nothing. It...

Public space is elevated to objet d’art
My contribution to Burnaway.org’s panel review of the Living Walls street art conference that happened in Atlanta last week:
The work of French artist OX illuminates, by way of contrast, a salient element of the great majority of street art from Atlanta and elsewhere exhibited in Living Walls: The potential to speak deeply to the public is stunted for many street artists because they are...
Lyrics to A Labor More Restful by Dirty Projectors
“You are finally convinced that you inhabit the same banal world as everyone. Everyone has found it too. Everyone has resigned themselves to it, and the only mystery is in what you couldn’t decide or remember clearly. The only mystery is in what you couldn’t decide or remember, decide or remember.
Have you stopped looking in order to put yourself to some real purpose? Or have...

An informal performance by myself and Nat Slaughter in an old dairy barn in Athens, Georgia, October 20 2007. We are using unaltered field recordings to create a slowly changing sonic tapestry. Video by Blake Williams.
My car broke down on the highway at 1:30 AM this morning. It was having strange electrical problems. The airbag light was flashing, the air conditioner went out, my headlights went very dim. Soon a cop pulled me over and I explained what was happening. He admired the pair of hiking shoes on the floorboard of my back seat, told me he’d bought a very similar pair, but with blue flames on the...
Preview of “May the Light Affect.”
I had the pleasure of working on this film last October. I recorded the sound and did a little camera work. The film was directed by Blake Williams of Proper Medium and it documents the Le Flash 2009 event in the Castleberry Hill district of Atlanta GA.
The film is screening next week, Wednesday July 14, 7:30pm, free of cost, at the Plaza Theater in...
