35 validation through negation.

negativespace

avoid defining yourself as the negative of what you are against. negative and positive space are the same image. re-define yourself. make new words. this is why i dislike the words experimental, independent, alternative (which is rarely used anymore) noise, even punk.
i like avant-garde because it is literally a forward moving word, but all its power seems lost. language changes, this is it’s nature. language is a tool it is not a rule of physics. i think the best you can do is avoid definition. once you find yourself defined it is time to move on. this is when art dies, the moment it recognizes itself in
a word.
resist the power of language. resist definition!

i’m in the process of cutting folding and printing the art for SHIVERLAND. it looks great, and feels nice too thanks to the soft paper i found in little tokyo. it should be done by the end of the month and ready to be shipped off to hungry ears.

also the label is coming together. a new site is about to go up, and new releases are already planned from chicago producer/musician BITMOTH.
