Eargasm.



SeeqPod - Playable Search

Oh yea, also - Would you guys be down to host a mini Indian/hyphy eargasmstravaganza or know o4 any hookah lounge-ish type spots where my boys can come per4orm?

The guys I was previously touring with are coming into the area around early Jan.
They're 4un. Juggy D did an ill remix...check it.
<3

And then she grew up///


tall like a Redwood.

ok guys, was going to keep this on the low but i don't think there's really a reason to.
was wondering who would be down 4or mojo's bday mini shindig.



lets reclaim the old grove!
my girl niko wants to get her aerial rig in the trees...i hear there are blacklights around (casey?)
i got stilters and jugglers and unicyclists -- i'd think about maybe putting on a suspension show 4or you guys who aren't too creeped out (gotta see i4 my homie can bring that rigging too...)
and you know...we're all just a bunch o4 rebel rousers anyway...

i'm not thinking anything too crazy...unless it turns into a 'cid test/magic show...lol
but something small and intimate and awesome 4or Team Paul Sweet and closest 4riends.
kinda close to the art show - but i don't think it's too much work and just might work out.

my bday is on the 12th - a 4riday i think.
would you good people o4 munchkin land be interested?

im thinking a lineup o4:
mad zach
pablo hassan
coda
brian
dub pirates

maybe some projections? i know Lance is probably itching to get back up in the trees 4or/with us...maybe the ladies o4 Paul Sweet wanna do a lil burlesque? maybe we get the hookahdome coolies involved on the slight tip?

i dunno.
hit me back peoples!

thanks for giving. cant help but take

big thanks to the cave party folks!

hey, i know it's a little late, but i just wanted to thank all you guys that came out and did your thing at the cave party. you don't know how many people came up to me telling me how epic the party was. i had an awesome time and i know that everyone there did too! i really wish that we could have gone late into the night/early into the morning like all of us would have loved, but given the circumstances, my neighbors were kinda flipping out and if i didn't shut things down, they would have. i'm sorry things had to end so abruptly.


but seriously, thank you guys so much for coming out to rock that shit as hard as you did. big thanks to mad zach (esp for the sound system!), coda, the harshmellows, sonik gemini, mikey for setting up the graff scene outside the cave and i really wish that ryan and brian groza could have rocked the shit out of the cave too... next time!

by far the dopest party i've been to and we couldn't have pulled it off without you guys.  much love to all of you. i can't wait to throw another fat party like that, and there's no doubt in my mind that you guys will be involved.  we're trying to come up with a super discreet location to throw another big get down, so i'll keep in touch.

for now, i'm off to see how san francisco treats me and i look forward to seeing you guys soon. if you find yourself in the city, hit me up. 

hope everyone has a good thanksgiving.
peace

...okay, okay, here's the FINAL FINAL

okay so I spoke too soon... to top the ever growing and awesome line-up for the art show, Stryda has also agreed to come throw down a set. At this point I seek definite consultation as to how to handle this blossoming event. We are definitely going to need to do a shuttle from Toys r' Us (bus from katie and friends :)). I want to have a meeting about the party this weekend, perhaps today later or something. flyers need to go up. Line-up needs to be solidified (as to order) and at this point we should definitely charge at the door ($5). peace

cave party update

hey folks, 

just wanted to get it out there that we're going to be working in the cave on thurs night (the 13th) to get things ready for the get-down on friday. there's a lot to be done, so the more help we have the better. 

we still need: 
-more xmas lights
-power strips for all the electronical goodies
-extension cords
-VGA adaptor so R2 can use bryan's mac laptop for projections
-microphone for lyrical i and freestyle sessions
-snackery for folks with the munchies
-keg cups. if you got some laying around, we could use 'em.
-the bone barrel
-flood lights. there will be live graff artists painting outside so we need to light up the walls
-plywood or old doors and 2x4's , etc for building graff walls
-any sort of brightly colored art to be hung on the walls and/or ceiling

so yeah, if you can bring any of the above items, that'd be great, and please let me know.
if you need to get ahold of me, call me at 530-277-2570

Dis:Lokation

Hey happy people. So the countdown begins. I'm currently waiting on a paycheck that I should receive on Thurs...and then I'm off - back to never land. Looking to come in on Sat or Sun time. Can't wait to touch down and get going and jump into this new chapter in the mojo chronicles. 


Was wondering if I could possibly stay at homebase for a bit before I head to Carmel Valley and then to Nevada City. Will be movin' and shakin before I build homebase closer to SF. Definitely would love to get down on some community lovin' and help keep the crib-o in order-so sign me up for some chores kids!

What's new...I've been really working on learning the ins and outs of backyard herbalism and would like to continue my studies - so if anyone knows anyone or anything...hit me up! I'll be playing with tinctures and decoctions from here on out and would love your input pertaining to what has worked for you in the past (be it entheogenic or otherwise) what currently ails you and maybe...how we can come up with some holistic solutions for basic body love to keep stocked up for the free table, etc. 

That - is what I'm REALLY interested in bringing to and for you folk. Bodies need to be healthy and feelin' yum yo! But other projects I'd like to begin working on with all my awesome comrades include:
  • an interactive dance environment similar to this. I've been learning about writing code and playing with Python recently so I'm stoked on the idea of chewin on some scripts that will make the stuff that blur dream and reality at our events.
  • Zachula's psychodelic whompstravaganza
  • creating a reel for myself that's super bugged out showcasing my classical AND hip-hop AND urban arts skills -ALL ideas welcome and anyone who participates can use the footage for your own stuff as well
  • psyphy porn - thinking more along the lines of photos but would def consider something so glitched out you couldn't make out too much detail for video...lol...lets get dark with it FRRREQMASONIC PROPOGANDA ANYONE?!(what can i say-you can take the dominatrix out of the dungeon but you can't take the ... well, you know...) but seriously...it should be absolutely fucking redonk.  ;)
  • I really want to do some serious vocal recording for anyone who is down. Yea, this girl's got flows but am really interested in helping you guys get some complex vocal action in there, haunting melodies and weird noises and...whatever else we can come up with.
  • I don't know how you guys feel about building a dome in the grove...but it might be sweet to have a hookah lounge for parties - seeing as how dear milkman donated his hookah to the house. 
I dunno...so much more - but what I'm trying to say is...I'll soon be around to get my hands dirty and want to shout out and say YO! I'M AVAILABLE TO HELP HOWEVER I CAN ON YOUR PROJECTS AS WELL. I'm itchin' for collabo so hit me up kiddos!

And now a word from our sponsers.

Devil's Dancehall

okay, here's beta 1
of the Devil's Dancehall

There was once a mad scientist named Ragu [chemicals bubbling and lfo's], who slaved all his days under the heavy handed dark lord of the universe Lucifer [whip crack and a deep chuckle w/ delay]. On many occasions he was made to stay up all night in the lab researching and experimenting with different kinds of electronic sounds. But despite his hard work, he was never told to what ends his work would be put. He developed the most secret of techniques...

scene 1

Ragu approaches the throne of Lucifer in a huddle, eyes averted and face sallow. He extends his hands and reveals a red button,

Ragu

My lord(cough), here is the button as you requested, with a little more low end and harmonic distortion.

as lucifer grabs at the button he cowers away

Lucifer

(growls, then chuckles as he reaches a slimy finger towards the red button) yes, now give it to me you slimy piece of filth

now...

presses the button, a low warbly farting bass sound happens that makes Ragu's hair fly back and a light emits, everything dies down and Ragu looks up

Lucifer

NNOOOO!!! Dammit you worthless sack of rot, I said more lfo on the filter, not the second operator, if I wanted it to sound like a dying cow I would have recorded the sound of your wife when I had my way with her before her, before her, untimely death hahaha!

Ragu

I'm going to get you

Ragu runs at Lucifer only to be shot across the room by magic (tint red)
NOO!!

Lucifer
now you are going to go back down there and you're not coming back up until I hear a sound that will drive young adults into the clubs like flocks of goats. guards, take this mad scientist back where he belongs, and make sure he doesn't escape

fade out...

Ragu is back in the lab, listening to sounds and turning knobs
frustrated, he decides to take a break...
he falls asleep on accident
in his sleep, he dreams he is with his wife again
first they are running through a generic field of love
next thing he knows they are laying in bed with their clothes off and he is playing with her nipple
wha wha wha she says
wha wha wha he says
whomp whomp whomp whomp
this time her mouth is frozen and she looks confused by the whomping sound that seems to be associated with the playing of her nipples
just then
boom
she's gone and Ragu wakes to find that his hand has slipped onto the cutoff filter in his sleep
whomp whomp
Ragu looks terrified

from above

Lucifer

Ragu! bring me that sound! guards, get Ragu and make him bring me that sound, Ragu, give me the sound... that, that, [camera moves into Lucifer's face] ~whomp whomp~

to himself
I felt a chill go through my spine that can only mean one thing, I must seek the oracle...

Lucifer billows out in a dark cloud of smoke.

[scene 3]

darkness at first and then chanting begins
candles flickering
then a giant cauldron steaming full of mysterious things and colors (greenscreen in the cauldron?)
from above
hands over the cauldron, and a hmming

Oracle

The sound you seek wields the darkest of forces my Lord. I can only hint at the great power locked within.

Lucifer

Yes yes, I know this already, but back to my question, what does the sound sound like?

Oracle

aahh questions to questions, what does it sound like you ask me, you will know when you hear



Lucifer

ahh yes it is clear to me now, I will know it by the sound and from then and then on I will make it known to the universe and execute my great plan. muahaha

Oracle

I fear it is already too late...


cut to black

[scene 4]

Ragu is human powering a set of turntables while Lucifer selects the fresh record carefully and places it on the spinning table. A crackle is heard and the cigarette Lucifer is smoking ashes on the carpet. Ragu is sweating and looking miserable and terrified.

dark pads
Lucifer's eyes are focused
Ragu continues to run in place, breaking a sweat and hunching over

Lucifer

this is the sound the oracle has prophesized, a sound that will crown a new king and mark the beginnings of a time of great darkness and suffering, hahaha

whomp whomp

Ragu sweats and slaves on looking up at Lucifer in terror, having just realized what he has done...


the record skips as Ragu falls and Lucifer yells

You idiot! take this mongrel away, and make sure he gets a good nights sleep hahaha

Guards
hahaha

Lucifer
hahahaha
thats right you're also idiots so its not so funny is it?
get out of my sight, I need to preview 6 more records before sundown, we have deadlines to fulfill...
we'll let the goat do the rest of the work for today
guards bring me the goat




they bring in a goat and put it on the treadmill/hamster cage thing

[scene 4]
meanwhile down in the dungeon, a rat attempts to steal Ragu's dinner
Ragu kills the rat and eats it on site, adding it to his dinner
which is pasta

with no sauce

Ragu
guard?

Guard
back animal, back! we gave you your food, now sit down and eat it like a good little scientist, and stop eating rats! hits the cage and spits carelessly after, silence ensues in which Ragu reconsiders his argument he pulls out a book called NLS and begins to read

Ragu
I hate to interrupt your ponderous silence, but if you get me some pasta sauce for this pasta plate, which is currently sauceless, I will refrain from possessing your soul with the new sound I developed yesterday

Guard
what?

Ragu
exactly, your consciousness is not prepared for you to not answer the question, just think of the rewards,
its really about the rewards
which you either deserve or don't deserve
but either way the prizes are what's worth it,
for anyone like you
think about it
fully customizable options
in any color you want
its not me,
its you
I can only show you the best way
and try to protect you from something we wouldn't want to see happen
would we?

Guard
no, thats not what I was saying, I mean yeah, or...

Ragu
oh really,
because I was under the impression that sauce is what
you had been claiming was rightly part of
more rewards options for you and your family, plus you
could be a winner at something bigger than yourself...
think about it.
so get with the picture
pick yourself up
and go get some sauce okay.

Guard
okay

Ragu
there you go, I'm proud of you

guard goes to get the sauce------>>>

upon return Ragu is unresponsive in his cage
he sits still
not moving

the guard approaches, curious and slightly afraid (indicated by the music, tension builds)

Ragu begins to make the whomp whomp sound
boowhomp boowhomp clap, boo boo boo boo clap

repeats with eyes averted as he stands slowly

the guard begins to sway back and forth to the music, his eyes roll back in his head and he looks like in mortal kombat when it says “finish him!”

Ragu takes the pasta sauce from the guard's hand and dumps it on his pasta, continuing to beatbox and shaking his hair from side to side like a manson mammoth

close up of the guards face a look of total vegetation, a zombie like dance with a slight smile and hands at sides

beatboxing begins to get quieter and quieter, eventually it stops and for a minute the guard remains entranced, after a while he begins to snap out of it

cut to
Ragu hurrying down the hallway with a plate of pasta in one hand and a ghetto blaster over the other shoulder. only a bassline

he runs up some stairs,
and through a kitchen
out the front door
and into suburbia

the music at this point is extremely sinister dub
cut to
Lucifer is mixing in the next track

camera zooms in on speakers as the whomp whomp begins

Lucifer
yes
ha ha ha
yes
this is the sound of the prophesy
I will be crowned soon, my final victory as foretold by the oracle
no one can stop me
yes
this is my time
oh me
oh my
Tonight it will begin.

cut to black
Ragu is still running

Ragu
oh what have I done
he'll never let me see the light of day again
its okay
at least I am getting some fresh air
oh but I have to stop his terrible plot

he see's a sign for a big rave gathering and realizes that tonight is the night

he goes to the rave but it is too late
the movie ends when he runs into the club
up a long spiraling staircase
and into the main room where he hears the thundering roar of his own creation
he looks around and says

NOOOOO!!!!

a special something

whatsup goomba's?

I've got treat for the spastic stream of consciousness. I had to make it for school, haha.

My Amazing Website!!!

--> Mad Zach

to all the people...love always.

because even though i'm a gansta hard ass..i wanted you folk to know that i love you all-and am deeply inspired by the amount of creativity, positivity and energy that you exude daily.

yello!

Good news for you Andreas... that job I had lined up for the 15th got canceled, which means count me in for full production.

Hookah last night was fun, got to play some new stuff I've been workin' on like this:

Psyphvillian Dub Factory

right now the drop has a fat bassline but the structure of the song is kind of lacking, oh well, at least it bumps, feels very psyphvillian (Jade?). Consider this beta 1, don't let it get too far, more to come. All I can say is "Get ready for the CAVE PARTY!!!"


Count Spankula is pretty much done, as well as some others. I've begun work on my FINAL PROJECT for school forever, which I made up and is going to be a short musical production with accompanying video projection and live ensemble. There will be 8 performers (not including dancers), 4 in a choir/snap chorus, 4 on the different components of sound. I will prepare the script in the next few days. I think I'm going to take a fairy tale (Hansel and Grettle maybe?) and give it acid and a good spanking. Add 4 teaspoons of sub 50hz bass frequencies, wiggle the video connection, and carve some skips into the record. Then make everyone where glow paint and conduct the whole thing like Stroganofski. We're going to need to shoot the thing in advance and project it behind the performers. I also want to have a highly choreographed dance thing at some point but that will be Jade's job so I'll wait until round two when she's in town.

The uber website project is underway, I'm going to need help with the design, I'll post more about that later.
