Not a Guston Head

Not a Guston Head

PRESSINGS & SENDINGS


There's really nothing like the visual and tactile sensation of letterpress printing,  a hopelessly outdated but wonderfully analogue alternative to digital foragings. Bruce Licher of the band Savage Republic sent me this postcard years ago,  and it's a fine example of his expertise in this medium. If you care to check out victorian technology filtered through a contemporary mindset,  Bruce is your man.

STUDIO VIEW


My slow quest to simplify and achieve an "essence" has left a trail of scattered sine waves,  nearly random  control voltages,  and some visual clutter.  It's always a bit of "what if?".

LEST WE FORGET


Barney Rosset of the Grove Press also published the Evergreen Review as an analogue adventure between 1957-73,  presenting a host of post-war artists and writers to the reading public in an easily digestible form.  Authors as diverse as William Burroughs,  Allen Ginsburg,  Albert Camus,  LeRoi Jones, Marguerite Duras, and Alain Robbe-Grillet were given forums to express newly wrought political, social,  racial, erotic,  existential,  and artistic views. The magazine was not a kind of "gated community" of radicalism,  but a challenging immersion into First Amendment rights.

SERGE RE-EMERGENCE


I'm revamping my studio in order to prioritize use and reach a certain "essence"  as demanded by disciples of ether^ra and w/o vertices.

New THIS SECOND SLEEP CDr


A FLEA IN HER EAR is a collection of shivering awning flaps flip-flopped into sound and it's uppity neighbor,  music... maybe. It is available through this site in nearly non-existent numbers.  Enjoy.
