Translucent Ham Sandwich Band
In July, a very crazy friend of mine approached me with a project idea. Evan Stone is one of the best drummers in Los Angeles, sought after for lessons by rock and jazz musicians alike. I know him through my lady friend, the jazz singer Sara Gazarek.
Evan had an idea. He'd been scouring the internet, collecting almost 10,000 images. He wanted me to create a slide-show to project while he and a band of seriously far-out musicians improvised to the imagery. He calls it the Translucent Ham Sandwich Band.
This is the kind of job I dream about. I married his material with my own and we created a pretty intense one hour video presentation. But I had no way of preparing myself for how completely OUT the total experience would be.
The live energy of improvisation, coupled with evocative imagery, and certain sideshows (a juggling rabbi, a magician, sometimes a belly dancer) - the whole scene creates a weird limbo in meaning, a strange twilight world of floating concepts and sensations. It's a mental weightlessness, a truly liberated state. Intense. Crazy. Sun Ra's Arkestra concept honed to a knife's edge and practiced with all sincerity.
Forget about drugs. The real way to explore inner space is to purposefully collide your right and left tendencies (logic & intuition) and thereby hover somewhere above both. This show can help you do that.
If you live in the LA area, I highly recommend you drop by and check us out. We've got every Tuesday in November at the Mint.
