‘I have written a blasphemous book’, said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, ‘and I feel as spotless as the lamb’. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible – and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child – or perhaps its immaculate conception – the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville’s magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

I was born in Chicago in 1954
The stock market crashed and my parents split up
My mom couldn’t take it and she went away.
Me and my dad went to California.
I will always remember the improbable color of blues that could only exist there
Where the sky and the sea meet and became one
The most mesmerizing vision I ever did see. 
I met Ornette Coleman in Long Beach and drank a cup of coffee sitting next to Bob Dylan at a breakfast cafe in New York.

L.A. Theatre Works records plays live in performance. We stage our shows in an audio-friendly format, so actors speak directly into microphones while we add sound effects and music to create an immersive audio experience.

We've recorded over 500 plays in this way - everything from Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde to Arthur Miller and recent Tony winners - and turn the recordings into podcasts, streaming audio, radio shows, and CD’s, so you can listen to great theater anywhere.

Because of our unique format, we attract a lot of top-name talent: our actors have included Chris Rock, Bobby Cannavale, Jane Kaczmarek, Kathleen Turner, Simon Helberg, Amber Tamblyn, Dana Delany, Stacy Keach, Jon Hamm, Matthew Rhys, Alfred Molina, Jonathan Groff...and an ever-expanding list of stars from TV, stage, and film.

http://scarfolk.blogspot.com Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." 


Gentleman Surfer began in 2006 as the solo project of drummer/ bandleader Jon Bafus, and now exists as a fully functioning band since mid 2010. The music is difficult to categorize, and draws upon a wide range of influences, anywhere from Captain Beefheart and King Crimson, to film and video game music, Classical, Jazz, Punk, etc. . . Alongside Bafus on Drums are Drew Walker on Bass, Barry McDaniel Swars on Guitar, and Zack Bissel on synthesizers. The collective sound is both tight and loose simultaneously, and continually growing and shifting into a bigger and stronger unstoppable vortex of constantly moving and shifting rhythms and timbres. . . The music is full of energy and sincerity, and time and time again all who behold their performances are made into believers.  Gentleman Surfer has shared the stage with many great bands including The Molecules, Melt Banana, Tera Melos, AU, Realization Orchestra, Chemical Clock, Brainstorm, Cash Pony, Pregnant, Planets, Unnatural Ways, Upsilon Acrux, Zack Nelson, Phil Manley, Times of Desperation, Poppet, Appetite, John Niekrasz, and Carson McWhriter.  Past projects of the band members include, but are not limited to, Afternoon Brother, Sholi, Mucky the Ducky, Practice, Good News Bears, Doofy Doo, Black Holes What? and highq.

Our aim is to expose you all to deep beautifully strange music that will help you in the every day, as you view the world around playing out like a silent color film, the music soundtrack in your ears. Your on your way to work on the subway or bus, waiting at an airport or just walking down the street, maybe your standing looking at the most inspiring view as you reach the top of Ankor Wat in Cambodia, as you watch the sun set over a tropical beach or ride around on a bike at Burning Man. There are those moments in life that you attach to music, that help you remember them many years later, we like to call it “Music For Strange Moments.”
