About me:

..


Traditional + Digital Artist,


worked away in Austin, Dallas, San Fran /Bay Area

& a few other spots in Oakland & Silicon Valley as

designer/art director/artist for post-production gigs

for clients in video games, corporate media & medical visualization,

primarily in 3d/animation with bits of 2d/graphic design;


relocated back home near New Orleans for awhile,

recently moved to western New York,

for work on my MFA [masters fine art] degree

in order to get back to my r00ts in fine art & music.


got tired of clockin' for commercial art & entertainment


..felt like another cog in the machine,

with the golden-handcuffs of the mainstream.



...since I gave up the work on vidi-games, here's a few fr33bie's :

(((the SOUNDtrack is more retro than the funky game ::

_concept design, lighting + modeling

for a vidgame interior

that I created via 3d modeling for a

client's CD-based game;

We integrated live actors into the game using blue-screen video

(the same way feature films shoot green-screen compositing):: :

to call certain old Vinyl a true bohemian, avant-guarde classic is really going overboard on any album...

unless it's this one. NICO, that dark German angel, h3h, it's her last one with the band & it makes no difference,

this is the standard for the guts & glory of sex, drugs & rock n roll.

I mean, it was OFF the SCALE to have a song about

S & M in 1967 no matter how much free love, Bondage, whips n chains were in vogue from SOHO to the basements of the Haight-Ashbury^_* + the classic Andy Warhol Banana cover art

I didn't get to see her dance with that addict genius beat poet William S. Burroughs;

to experience that + her visuals & tunes in all their glory,

u gotta find the rare vid/dvd

how do I describe these legendary dudes,

..after they were the incredibly influential Joy Division, brilliant lead singer Ian Curtis hung himself because of seizures & possible divorce from wife Deborah, but no one really knows.. his influences were some of the coolest, genius freaks of the era: writer/addict William S. Burroughs and J G Ballard as well as legends Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop and Bowie.

The band had been forced to change their original name WARSAW due to a name conflict with another band & finally switched it to New Order following Curtis' death.

They became less depressed & atmospheric and changed into a heavily inventive icon of the early 80's electronica-techno dance scene-- more synth & beat,

less droning darkness.

There's a film about the band + yet a new film being produced about Ian's short, enigmatic life.

former Throbbing Gristle lead singer & all around loving/wicked/bizarre legend, Genesis P-Orridge, wanted Curtis to perform for his uniquely underground, experimental band Psychic TV, but Curtis died b4 they could pull it off. P-Orridge later said he still considered Curtis to be a member of the band, psychically.

Psychic TV wrote a song about Curtis, called I.C. Water, released as a single in 1990 & featured on the group's album 'Towards Thee Infinite Beat.'

The single featured Curtis on the cover + samples of a recording of him discussing The Velvet Underground in a pub.

{How do u top that,,, Ian Curtis talking about the Velvets, sampled by all around inventive,

androgynous icon of self-discovery, that arts & spiritual tripper Genesis P-Orridge}

damn right I'm gonna obsess on these dudes..
if u think they're just another goth band, u might wanna know the story of how one band was THE goth icon...

In The Flat Field, studio LP from 1980, true early GOTH, post-punk + dark, metal-like slag, some say {NO doubt} it gave rise to a generation of Goth-rockers, many fostered under that most
darkly brilliant, badass Label of various vinyl: 4AD.

,,, massives like Iggy Pop, T-Rex, Bowie, film legend Catherine Deneuve, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Interpol, CAN, Franz Ferdinand & more
were ALL inspired, influenced or involved with
Bauhuas' dark tone & sly humor;

As some dude on a review claimed
---right on target-- "Bauhaus are often credited as being the godfathers
of Gothic music, but that is probably doing them a disservice.
You won't hear this level of inventiveness in either their contemporaries
or the following gothic music [of the copycat bands]."

what do ya say in words about one band that basically represented a whole genre
& spawned style upon style of characters from pulp to anime;

Adam Gnade at www.bauhausmusik.com, tells a decent Tone for the Tale {couldn't resist the pun ala their related kickass band}.. .I stashed it in my blog for all to appreciate,, with some of my own obsessed

teletype... go forth & enjoy the dark.

ever wonder if Major Tom got it on with the spiders from Mars?

whew... how to describe Bowie?-- do u use ur personal experiences, ur memories of great nights listenin' to his stuff over the years;

or the famous sensual stuff said by the collective great rock bands who all beheld his beauty & music?

I wonder how long the list would be if u wrote down all the great musicians + bands he influenced, & the whole direction of styles & sub-genres in sound/visuals of the emerging power of rock/pop that he changed as it then went on to change most culture on the whole planet.

It's like the power of the Velvets or My Bloody Valentine or
Joy Division-- or any other of the massive forces that rocked the rockers hearts & never really faded away..

m3h, u can say THE most mind blowing stuff about him--- but u don't feel like you've overstated anything,,, cause it's fvckin' BOWIE ^_*

I saw 'em perform in Atlanta once, that multi-sexual freak of a great front man Genisis P-Orridge was mingling with folks in the club after the show & I managed to talk with him for a minute; he asked how they'd sounded [GREAT, I assurred him, a total understatement;-].

he was not what u expected,, he just had this mellow "I'm no rock star" attitude, h3h---pretty amazing for such a unique genius spiritual journeyer & experimental videographer-artist to be so freakin' down to earth.

These are the same Angelic sounding women that got their fame in the west "when recordings of the Bulgarian State Television + Radio Female Vocal choir reached the West in the late '80s under the name 'Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares',

a fad was sparked by the enchanting voices of some twenty women."

That name 'Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares' translates to 'The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria'

from a review: "the unusual singing techniques and strangely sexy

dissonances was a pleasant surprise to music listeners abroad.
The Bulgarian Women's Choir Angelite ("The Angels") continues this style of Bulgarian music for Western ears, and their album VOICES OF LIFE is mainly a series of Voix Bulgares staples."


...it's real-- I bought a copy of 'The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria' & it was pretty much what I'd imagine some Angels might sound like if they booked a show down on Earth.

h3h,, they toured America in the 90's & I experienced their
gig in San Francisco-- it was one gorgeous, transcendent gig.



I gotta steal some descriptive words from Epitonic.com for this one, they're just too heart + folk-wise for my words to do justice

((Epitonic kicks ass for gettin' turned onto bands & various dudes they've jammed with b4 or after, a damn good FREE site dedicated to REAL alt music fans.]

->simply put, "Songs:Ohia is the Americana country sound of alt rock." Jason Molina is the center of the Songs:Ohia tunes ["The second part of the name is an allusion to both the Hawaiian tree ‘Ōhi‘a lehua and Molina's home state of Ohio.."].. The Songs:Ohia thang morphed into Molina's group: Magnolia Electric Company.

    Look into the others eyes, many frustrations
    Read between the lines, no words just vibrations
    Don't ignore hidden desires
    Pay attention, you're playing with fire
    Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
    The time has come to learn, that silence ...
    Silence must be heard
    Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
    Cause silence has the right to be heard
    People talk too much for what they have to say
    Words without a meaning, just fading away
    Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
    The time has come to learn, that silence ...
    Silence must be heard
    Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
    Cause silence has the right to be heard

    PEACE LOVE LIGHT ZOI~

    Hey Rob

    I think you might be thinking of the Custom Brewcrafters Autumn Festival of Ales which is taking place at the Fireman's field in my hometown of Honeoye Falls tomorrow from 1-5pm.  Tickets are $25 and $5 for non-drinkers I believe.  There is also gonna be a chili cook-off so it should be a blast in every sense of the word.  I'm gonna try to go so maybe I'll see you there.

    Once a year, the serpent Vouivre leaves her guarded treasure to drink and wash herself. The door to the treasure cave then opens up. Anyone who dare venture can bring out anything, IF the serpent does not kill him in the chase. On one of these nights, Louise brings her little son up to the cave after the sign from a dream. Louise is discovered by the serpent and separated from her son -- for an entire year. Her son is in the cave, just a door away from Louise. In the end, she rescues her son and they bring home a big goldpiece. The fate of the Vouivre is unclear. One story tells of her being burned, the other tells of her escape from the magic power she possesses.
    Image and video hosting by TinyPic
    The Vouivre is an enormous female beast with shining green scales which gives off a low and strange musical sound as she flies. She wears a crown of pearls and a gold circlet on her tail which also ring. But most strange of all is her dragon's head with its one great and glowing ruby eye. This luminouse orb she removes when she bathes, making herself blind for just those minutes.

    The Vouivre dwells in a cave and can breathe fire. It guards the treasure and devours people who come to stealth the treasure.

    Peace love and light
    Hope all is well ROB
