Independent researcher, multidisciplinary artist, and friend David Metcalfe is a spinner of many plates. One of these is The Message, an ongoing music project described on its bandcamp site as "experiments in the phenomena of sound." David's most recent experiment is a set of two compositions directly inspired by Reclaiming Art in the Artifice. The music is an attempt to translate into sound some of the book's central ideas. For me, the result is eerily effective; listening to it, I have the impression of contemplating a kind of sonar topography of a conceptual landscape.
Last night, David and I were talking about the great collaborations and transliterations that characterized surrealism and other artistic and philosophical movements of the early twentieth century. We wondered whether such a thing could happen again and realized that ultimately that was partly up to us. So here's some of that.
You can download the album at The Message site. While you're there, check out some of the other works on offer from David Metcalfe. These are powerful soundscapes intended to deepen contemplation and help reconnect the monkey-mind with the marvellous and the unspeakable.
