Some came here from Iran long before the US trade ban.

ERIC DRACHMAN: Wife and Wife

Jamie and Marisa’s love is irresistible. It’s so sweet, Jamie worried it would sound saccharine, but it’s true and kind and generous. And it’s about to be celebrated by their "favorite dearest sweetests" at their wedding. Even a  few years ago, they wouldn’t have been able to legally marry each other, but today they are glowing with the anticipation of celebrating with family, friends, and even the state.

Special thanks to my brother, Evan Drachman, for the use of his beautiful cello recording of “Menuets - Bach Suite No. 1 In G Major” from his album, “Full Circle”!

After a week long binge of staring wild eyed at my computer screen, madly studying for exams, drinking energy drinks, lying, driving, sleeping, adderall, tussin, wolfing down blunts, and laughing my ass off in the possess WHILE having a number of totally trippy out 20 something, out of body ego trips at the same damn time, I worked on this piece at 4am, in my boxers reading books into the night while splicing audio from numbers magnetic tape strips I have recorded over the year and weaving together an experimental lo-fi sound collage all recorded analog. All on tape. All recorded on a vhs player. All strung together to represent a week long binge of studying, drugs, depression, self hate, and madness. 

All of the music was recorded on a vhs player. Multiple instruments were used such as a turn table, toy cassette player, a number of VHS tapes, tape loops, tape samples and overlapping loops all tangled in the same piece. Nothing but ignorant bliss and tussin. digg?


Enjoy.
