Manifesto

man·i·fes·to (mān'ə-fěs'tō) n. A public declaration of principles, policies, and intentions.

This document is a work in progress; at present a series of random but related thoughts on the subject of art, music, and creative endeavor in general.

A manifesto implies revolutionary activity – perhaps even subversive activity - as there is no reason to make a public declaration of an intention to continue doing what is established and expected.

The perpetrators of a project or movement should make principles, policies, and intentions clear. This is useful in more than one way. For the perpetrators, it helps to focus and refine the plan of attack. For the audience, it assists in correctly interpreting the outcome.

We therefore declare:

L'Histoire Verte - Malediction Society



A Memorial Day weekend dance performance by Forest with a soundtrack by Peter at the Malediction Society Aristocracy Ball ... loosely based upon a story involving Pierre Ordinaire, questionable goings-on in Baroque-era France, a flight to New Orleans, a subversive Gatling gun dealer, and the end of the world.

Sounds strange? The mysteries may be revealed by Forest, one of these days ...

moodorgan | the process EP | 10.31.07

The final mixes are complete, and after quite a bit of back and forth we managed to generate a master loud and club-friendly enough to make these tunes sound like they're supposed to.

In the end, six songs made the final cut (it's only an EP, after all): Treasure (process mix), In the Same Place (the extra stompy Catalog mix), Velveteen, Night to Day (process mix), Darkness and the Darkness Reprise, and the brothers brothers' Any Other Day ("at least") remix.

MUSIC and Visual Art

How do these combine?  This is the challange.  To see and feel within a song and make it translate into a visual context.  What do you see when you hear music?

Introduction

Who is Catalyst Echo?

I suppose many people might like to know this. I am an artist, this means I look and see and visualize beyond what others do. They say that talent is the ability to do something easily that others have problems with so I suppose my talent is vision.

on Collaborative effort

The nature of Art is such that it often exists on its own terms. As such, it may or may not always be self-sustaining - at least initially. Resources, both material and energetic can be swiftly depleted in the service of Creation. That being the case, it is of the greatest importance that those who both witness and create Art (that they regard as being worthwhile) are as active as possible in furthering that work. One must contribute what one can to the process if one expects - or hopes - for it to continue into the future...
