emotica

If the face were only capable of truth, it would be shielded more shamefully and morbidly than any other territory of the body from potential inspection. But the learned and civilized garments of facial identity are far more opaque than any pair of pants.

Saturday, April 14, 8 pm, Duke University - Nelson Music Room, Free: Graduate Composers’ Concert with the Nein.
We will be performing a composition by Ben Crawford.
There’ll also be performances of pieces by Dan Ruccia, George Lam, and Paul Leary (not the Paul Leary — at least I don’t think so…hmm. That History of Dogs record was kind of lame).
Nelson Hall is on Campus Drive just off of Main St on East Campus. It’s the first building on the right after you turn into Campus Dr.
The show is for free. Stop on by when you’re taking a break from the Duo-Fest or Full Frame.

In these rapidly changing times one never knows where one stands, particularly if one is a juristic person with no official nation-state affiliation and one is not subject to any laws, national or international (except for such convenient laws which allow for juristic personhood, with particular personal thanks to the unequivocal 1886 Supreme Court ruling in Santa Clara County vs. the Southern Pacific Railroad). In an effort to be a global leader of the world of tomorrow, we at Retroactive Dynamics, Inc., have established a global extranational governing body whose mission is everlasting peace throughout the known world, the elite members of which have been culled from our own board of directors and our affiliates at the Thomas Carlyle Group, General Dynamics, Lockheed-Martin, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Science Applications International Corporation, and IG Farben). Remember, your future will rest easy in the hands of the coming Empire, and Retroactive Dynamics, Inc., will be a leading citizen thereof.

Tonight, Wednesday, April 4, Nightlight, Chapel Hill: Hem of His Garment with Jack Rose and Gowns.
Not sure about the order.
Hem of His Garment begin their tour of the Research Triangle. Three nights of big drone. Maxi-minimalism. Non-stop for 72 hours. Well, no, okay, not really. Maybe someday.
Jack Rose - experi-raga acoutic guitar master. www.vhfrecords.com/jackrose/
Gowns - moody psych songs with lots of strange, washed out improvising. Like if the Flaming Lips huffed model cement and saw through the veil of reality or something. Not that Flaming Lips haven’t seen through the veil of reality, mind you… http://music.calarts.edu/~ebuchla/gowns/
