Weekly Imaginarium Broadcast

Two weekends ago, i had an adventure. i traveled over 4 hrs (one way) by bus and train, to meet a friend, whom i had never met before, the now legendary one and only Ponkey, Barney Day.

i find it fascinating that by simply hearing this mans' music, i could know that here is someone whos company, i would enjoy. The occasion was celebrating his departure from Japan, which i find an odd celebration, similar to a funeral. But i suppose a funeral could be a gala affair.

You can check out a brief movie in the Imaginarium Fellowship, just a few thoughts on the weekend, with footage from the pristine grounds of Matsumoto Castle, the cherry blossems in their waning prime.

Suggested songs for your listening enjoyment and creative stimulation.

House on Ponce De Leon
— Hartimos

It is amazing the emotion Hartimos can exude from a keyboard, that embodies guitars and drums in resonant brilliance.

An Adventure in Creativity
(40hr Film Imaginarium)

October (7-9) Tokyo

What would happen if you pool a group of various artists from Japan and around the world and have them collaborate on producing a short film completely from scratch — with a deadline of 40 hours? We are not sure, but we are willing to give it a whirl inside the Spincycle Television.

The goal of this intensive is for applicants to join forces, utilizing their God-given gifts, and stimulate each other throughout the creative process. Using all kinds of art (drama, dance, music, art, video, etc.), various teams will produce a short film.

Stay tuned...more information to come. }}

}} One Day with Barnaby Day

This is a pretty lousy video, and this small you can't even see all the cherry blossoms blowing in the wind, which were what made the movie.

In one part i reversed the footage and then tried to improvise speech on top of it, and it is pathetic. So i appologize to Ponkey for giving him such a bad video, but here's a cheers to the beginning of a great friendship, and of course it's a great song too — Two Sided God by The Ponkies.

More interviews and profiles are on the horizon.

What does humility require?

Returning to The Stubborn Shibboleth album, this whispery electronica offers to wash the mind into a lower state.
