   About HIPMOTISM
Help spread the message of HOPE
Recently, Erik Lawrence conceived the simple design as the message that he believes we all need.

A friend designed t-shirts with the simple logo and an amazing poster honoring Barak Obama and the HOPE that he inspires and is selling it on his website.
Check it out HOPE at Happy Life Productions


HIPMOTISM


Erik and Steven are the horns for the legendary Levon Helm's band. The musicians you are hearing have travelled the globe with Sex Mob, Millennial Territory Orchestra, Ani DiFranco, Lou Reed, Sonny Sharrock, Dr. Lonnie Smith, , Bill Frisell, Medeski Martin Wood, Little Richard, Buddy Miles and lots of other mentors and tormentors alike.

This is music they do on the sly! Now the word is getting out.

"With idea, with sound, or with gesture, the Duende chooses the brim of the well for his open struggle with the creator. Angel and Muse escape in the violin or in musical measure, but the Duende draws blood, and in the healing of the wound that never quite closes, all that is unprecedented and invented in a man's work has its origin." - Frederico Garcia Lorca
