AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

Happy to discuss collaboration if anyone is keen.

Mr. Andrew's Garden was across the street from our house when we lived in Seattle.
This was in 1959, before the World's Fair and the Space Needle.
We would visit the Garden when we could, and every day was different.
The Chinese would visit on weekends, in the afternoon.

It was a  huge garden and the Andrews were always busy working in it.
Avery and Sarah, Mrs. Andrew's grown children, lived there with them.
Sarah lived above the garage and Avery lived in the garage.
Avery fought in Korea and had a habit.
Cradle Needle was written for him.
Sarah was just wrong.

Everything in our selections is a memory of what happened. Do not become confused. The Garden is as deep as your imagination.
We hope you enjoy your visit.

The singer in my tracks is not a human being. She is a synthesizer software named "Vocaloid Yukari".
