10,000 YEAR DREAM arrives fresh off the mule’s back. It is compiled from recent recordings made while on expedition into Baja’s Santa Teresa Canyon, where a small group of favorite compadres communed with the sprits of those ancient-rock-artists whose magnificent pictographs communicate across a 10,000 year divide. 

Presented much as the stratigraphic layers of geological record seen in the canyons, the field recordings are metamorphosed, weaving and eroding the same sounds those ancient artists heard along with more recent sonic overlays. Owls speak, frogs chirp, rivulets babble, mule bells clang and donkeys bray. There is distant laughter. Wind. A dreamer snores. 

presented at Castillo de Dracula in Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico for the inaugural UNIVERSE, METAVERSE AND VERSE happening. Single channel sound, dedicated room in the former sugarcane mill. A suspended SE VENDE work, appearing much as an aluminum landscape, held the space.

Thank You Julia Chaplin for hosting. Thank You Saddling South outfitters for the journey.

10000 Year Dream 2022

It was a good day to hear a big number of vocal grey seals and lots of big-mouthed terns on the Swedish  island Gotska Sandön in the Baltic Sea.

Grey seals and terns at Gotska Sandön, Sweden.

A collaboration of DJ Moonstein and DJ Chi (https://soundcloud.com/chidj), recorded live at a secret castle in Berkeley Hills, California, it's a playful meditation on what it means to be happy. In their attempt to do justice to this question (if not the answer), they went from melodic house to techno and back, with a nod to Latin music and a splash of funky beats that are hard to define but easy to fall in love with.

What is Happiness?

PLEASE FORGET (EVERYTHING) one hour installation soundtrack. 

San Francisco, CA — Heron Arts is pleased to announce an immersive solo exhibition by Charles Lindsay. As a speculative provocation the show asks: “Can AI become sentient? If AI can become sentient, can it become conscious? If AI can become conscious, can it become enlightened?”

PLEASE FORGET (EVERYTHING) features two strikingly bright yellow Japanese parking
kiosks, each situated in its own Zen garden—one in Kyoto and the other in San Francisco.
These modified devices, ubiquitous in Japan, are imagined as intelligent nodes within a vast
global AI network, much like mushrooms sprouting from intricate underground mycelial webs.
Each kiosk becomes a speculative symbol of sentient AI—networked, pranking and/or elevating humanity. Numerous other artworks in the exhibition expand upon these ideas.
The concept for this exhibition began with Charles Lindsay's proposal to NASA suggesting the
use of retired Mars Rovers to create Zen gardens on Mars. That idea evolved further when
Charles posed his question about AI and consciousness to the renowned Zen Buddhist monk,
Toryo Ito, at the onset of the pandemic. Captivated by the inquiry, Toryo invited Charles to
exhibit at Ryōsoku-in Zen Temple in Kyoto.

Drawing on the Zen Buddhist principle of ‘Beginner’s Mind,’ advocating for a process of
forgetting (and forgiving) to facilitate rapid transformation, Lindsay presents his new installations and assemblages as koans: those infamously paradoxical Zen Buddhist riddles designed to circumvent logical reasoning—in preparation for sudden enlightenment.

Alongside his sculptural techniques, Lindsay integrates a wide range of tools and materials to
produce poetic video and creative works that further explore his thematic concepts. Utilizing
OpenAI tools including Sora, a text-to-video model that is currently in research, Voice Engine,
and a custom GPT, he creates AI-driven works that challenge viewers' perceptions, urging them to explore the deeper mysteries presented. These works, much like the accompanying koans, are designed to inspire contemplation and open new avenues of understanding.

This one hour sound track fuses field recordings from Japan with the artist's stream of consciousness approach to playing a rare 1912 koto, shakuhachi acquired in Koto's flea markets, found percussion ie. fisherman's floats and flotsam, along with a fine and highly resonant Boesendorfer 185 CS piano (at Heron Arts.) Field recordings include the persistent 'do not forget anything' messages delivered by synthesized voices in all manner of public transportation in Japan. 

Please put on your eye shades and head phones and take a trip with me. Thanks for listening.

*Setlist below*

The past 18 months (since the last time I posted my Fusion recording) have been truly memorable for me, with many unforgettable experiences all over the world, new places, new friends and above all some amazing support along the way. I am grateful to have this opportunity to travel around the world to stages where I can expose my music. 

One of the key moments came back on April 1st when I closed DGTL Amsterdam’s Frequency Stage. I was exhilarated throughout, and I felt that I achieved a very strong connection with the people that were there that day. So much, so that I decided to go back to my studio to record the set again, so that I could share it with everyone once more here. Thank you to everyone that let this set come alive. This is for you.. X Djordje

Satori @ DGTL Amsterdam 2018

I am here the next two weeks gathering sounds so I will put some up online.

Snow On Bridge Support Wire -- Saskatoon, Canada

Well, here we are in the midst of the Great Pause, the Massive Reset, or, more simply, the Quarantine. 

And what are we all doing, besides making sourdough bread?

Dreaming.

Dreaming of when we can get out, 
back into the arms of our loved ones, 
to stream wildly into the night, fearless as youth, 
to dance and revel 
as we never have before. 

Here's your mix for those dreams.

Tracklist:

1. Wait for Now featTawiah (Pepe Braddock Wobbly Mix): Cinematic Orchestra  (2019)
Luminous record, and one I'd never probably be able to mix into another track so we started with it 

2. Moment (Adam Port remix): Damian Lazarus (2019)
Classic and suited the mood perfectly

3. Energy Flow(Koze Miles & More): Mano Le Tough (2016)
Koze tones the MLT banger into a more haunting version

4.Tell Me Are We (Rampa): WhoMadeWho (2019)
I'm not sure there's a Rampa remix I don't like, another stellar rework

5. What To Do (Original)
6. What to Do (&ME Remix): Guy Gerber (2018)
Massive track and I was never able to decide which version I like best so I played 'em both, you're welcome

7. Prometheus : ARTBAT (2018)
These guys are dominating, taking the fart/squelch house scene to its final form. Look for them headlining festivals everywhere.

8. Inside My Head: Audiojack (2019)
Now that I think about it I should have played the KC Flight version but oh well too late

9. Pressure: Ability II ( 1991 )
yup I dug in the crates for that one, 30 Years old and still sounds fresh to death. I bought the vinyl when it dropped, which makes me old.

10. House & Pressue: Route 94 (2017)
Cheesy? Heaven forbid, it's irresistible. A banger when it came out and appropriate for this moment.

11. 79249 Intro: Rampa (2019)
Yes I'm in love with Rampa fuck off he's mine

12. Hold On (Classic Vocal): Romanthony (1999)
If you don't know Romanthony and this record, now you know. 
All the emotion in this record could power the earth for 24 hours. Play it loud.

13. Garden: &ME (2019)
I mean, it's &ME what do you want other than a massive bassline and lovely drums just enjoy it

14.Come Together: Henrik Schwarz (2020)
Sometimes the narrative takes over 

15. Nata Alma(Club Smash Hit Version): Robag Wruhme (2019)
This track has Club Smash hit in the title, tells you all you need to know

16. No War: Ame (2019)
This Ame guy might make it in this biz

17.It'll All Be Over (DJ Koze Remix): Gerry Read (2019)
Yes I love Koze too

18. For This: Rampa, Chiara Noriko (2019)
Nobody will notice if I put on another Rampa track right?

19. Walking Away: Mind Against (2020)
These guys have been growing on me, beautiful track

20. Holding On: Tirzah (2018)
Quirky, haunting little gem. Felt good to close with this.

INTERVIEW & TRACKLIST

Balance Selections 151: Mark Slee

An expanse ahead, many possible paths, one unknown future. A very long night has lingered, hopefully the breaking of a new day will follow with a sense of resolution. These next few days are sure to be stressful - depending upon how you choose listen, this selection of ambient music may either reflect that tension, or be a kind of antidote, a salve. May we all find a peaceful way through.

Dawn: Predilection

Mark Slee - Dawn: Predilection [November 2020]

Charles Lindsay is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in technology, eco-systems, semiotics and signaling. He creates immersive environments, sound installations, sculptures built from salvaged aerospace and bio-tech equipment, videos and photographs. 

Educated as a geologist Lindsay is the SETI Institute’s AIR program director, a Guggenheim Fellow, recipient of the Robert Rauschenberg Residency, Fellow at the Nevada Museum of Art’s Center for Art and Environment and the innovator behind OSA EARS: a project designed to deliver real time sound from one of the world’s most bio-diverse rain forests to anyone anywhere with internet. Lindsay’s work has been profiled by WIRED, Motherboard, ARTonAIR.org, Viralnet, NPR and CNN International. 

At SETI Lindsay collaborated with astrophysicist Laurance Doyle - who employed information theory and algorithms to prove that humpback whale communications exhibit syntax. “CODE Humpback” references this research through sculptural audio / visual works, combining ideas about encrypted signals and inter-species communications. “CODE Humpback” debuted at the Bolinas Museum (2014)and showed again at MassMoCA in 2017.

Lindsay received a Guggenheim Fellowship (2010) for “CARBON” - a hybrid process synthesizing photography and drawing. “CARBON” harnesses the language of high resolution scientific imaging to render ambiguous the micro and the vast, the organic and the digital, the real and the alien. The large scale visuals are altered through sensor feedback and modulation to create subtly responsive art works. “CARBON IV” was shown at the LED LAB NYC (2014.) 

Lindsay has created and directed three live music shows, for which he plays six string electric cello, electronics and combinations of voice, continuum, processed field recordings and electric guitar. All incorporate his visuals, with improvisational music developed through collaborations. The Electrosense of Paddlefish was made in response to water issues in the American west. It was created and performed with David Rothenberg for Ear to the Earth at the Frederick Lowe Theater (2010.) Trout Fishing in Space imagines an off Earth habitation. Collaborators included Billy Gomberg, Thenmozhi Soundararajan, Dan Snazelle and David Rothenberg. It was performed in Woodstock at CPW (2012.) NEAR(ER) imagines alternate modes of consciousness and involved video artist Chen Serfaty. NEAR(ER) was performed at USC's Rhythms + Voices performance series (2013.)

Lindsay is developing several new works including: “the Sound of a Quantum Computer Thinking” from his recordings at NASA Ame’s Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab and “Hope Island” from his oceanic work north of Vancouver Island. “Ecotone” envisions a mobile space in which to decontextualise live sounds from OSA EARS so they are experienced as though in an off earth / post earth environment. His 'Field Station' installation showed at MassMoca in 2016/2017 and then morphed and travelled to the Des Moines Art Center and the Akron Art Museum. He is currently working on several projects in China.

Recent lectures include "Anthropocentric?" for RISD's Digital + Media department, “Destination Unknown: Aliens, Art and Consensual Reality” at Rhodes House, for the 2014 class of Rhodes’ Scholars and ‘Conversations on Media Culture and Practice’ at CalArts Center for Integrated Media. Lindsay presented at Moogfest 2014, the California Academy of Sciences, Stanford’s Department of Art and Art History, 100 Year Starship Symposium (DARPA), USC’s “Visions + Voices” performance series, SwissNex, the American Museum of Natural History, Mountain Film in Telluride, The School of Visual Arts, Pratt School of Art and Design, the Open Center in New York, IDEA CITY in Toronto. Chronus Art Center Shanghai, and at The Hat Creek Observatory for SETI.
