YO my faithful, and greetings and thanks for reading, and what a busy last 10 days, from Gathering of the Tribes, to 10-year anniversary Moontribe... the latter 3 days so perfectly getting back to the core of WHY we gather, WHAT we are driven to create, and with WHOM we choose to recreate... and to bring it beyond.... further... and into further focus... and into the environs of Summer Solstice, Southern California, a well-needed several hundred mile karavan stretch.... and then back to LA... and a few choice days of solar compositional time willfully marooned in Malibu... the lifting of June Gloom, ready to launch this weekend with Cyber EZ Ryders........
......... and then last night The Camel and i get hit by a drunk driver.

pretty cool having the life flash in front of you, and I got air, and some sideways whiplash, as did ALL my gear: drums, dishes and laptops scattered and mixed with bits of refrigerator contents.... results of being hit head-on while otherwise peacefully parked beachside and unsuspecting the drive-by DWI. so now its work, paperwork, testing systems and pushing the cybernetic limits of the Ryders: ie) The Camel: can we rebuild her? (do you recall exactly this time last year and the blown engine in TX? we tend to bounce back bigger.) my 26' friend who housed and fed me and led me to this state, and whose solar energetic ways keep me thinking ever higher... and now we're all getting wireless... 'specially my friends in the process of following me out here from the east coast... and AZ's on-fire Systemsoular launching full-nomad and soon to join our orbit of LA... We've got the definition, the flow, the means, the state of the art systems.... an awaiting audience needing to see this kind of hands-on... mmm... vitality! fuck documentary... stream exactly this... the letting-off-steam jams that result from these escapades and experiences... I make my best late-night laptop shit when down and out in parking lots. and i drum best under the sunny skylights (skylab). i see the same vibe and hear the same stories from all of YOU and we've got to mix and sync all these experiences in the state of Nao, ON the road: create in motion and put it OUT! and so i'm beat-up and tireless, sleepless since last night's crash yet spouting off propositions of direction like an undying breakbeat village idiot... and in my gut i've GOT to start this streaming shit for real, now! I've already been configuring and scheming for a year and a half (live-jam stream plan launched during NYE '02 Moontribe... project Eklektro Karavan) and so I esteeem to come back from this crash with The Camel sporting Rocket-matching (and intimidating strength-in-numbers 4th amendment anonymous) SILVER... = fleet. with a new steering column, radiator, AC, bumpers, front fiberglass and straightened front frame... not to mention my new awaiting regimen of chiropractic treatments hopefully also serving to straighten out my studio slouch. no better rehabilitator than Summer, and so what if we're not touring as previously-planned for this summer with MotionDetector... Euro-side....? So Cal is a scene just begging for it and our synchronicities threaten to bring it... another generational summer of love if we're not careful... and the spirit of 1776 is right round the corner next couple weeks... the over-the-counter symbolism ready for our co-opt... technology in our hands = a controlling interest in the phenomena of freedom ("enduring"), and damn the government's torpedos (!)... I feel the best intent of my alter ego coming on, politico, and its ready to free-form... libertarian stylee... I want to beat the fuck out of independence day drums... and i only hope (self-imposed symbolical dead-line) we can resurrect the mobile media machine in time for July 4... a time-frame which gives us another 40-some days afterwards to refine in time for Burningman (if you're familiar with this year's theme, spirituality... proposed project: Cyber-Evangelic). fits the timeframe... thematic, as I believe we're ready to start with the demonstrational phase of operations, as Eklektro theory-in-practice comes in many modes and levels of LIVE electronic performance: Festival (outdoors, tours), Demonstrational (tactical, street performance, protest), Conventional (clubs, gigs, standard staging and digital DJ sets) and Intellectual (lectures, tech-seminars, spoken word and instructional materials)... This is merely the outline. it is YOU who provide the flavor. and armed with proper promo from all of us, i promise you an innovative and relentless "marketing" campaign until we reach artistic solvency.... ie) whenever you would choose to go under the umbrella of Eklektro, i propose positive cash-flow, self-contained, and with members maintaining a fluctuating and secure touring system within 6 months. i'm serious, and this plan depends upon tapping an unconventional cash-cow.... so please help me develop our "artist profiles" to reflect the diversity of talent, presentation, and best foot forward production that we COULD provide. and of course each site would be privy to the same info... similar if not same structure...

So I may be living nose-to-grindstone at this garage for the next 2 weeks... dry heat and grease as opposed to beach... I could be doing some of my best-ever drumming at night if anybody wants to come out here and record/jam industrial style with me. there's RR tracks n noise within a hundred feet of my disabled domicile. the owner of the shop gives us the run of the place at night. many percussive surfaces and power tools. i want to sand 'er down and start preppin for paint. anybody who can help this flow faster in any way these next couple weeks gets my gratitude and premium barter for whatever i've got that you need... copyright free. if you got this blog-link, i consider you full conspirator and on-the-team... and if i'm not mistaken, i believe its your team, as i think we're all talking the same terms. but let's keep fronting multiple domains: (in no particular order): fishing for funding, trolling for tours, kicking it for the love of the kick:
Systemsoular.com, Naoism.com, MarkTrance.com (unlaunched), Knobfreak.com (unlaunched), Negative2?.... Cactusland.org, ICTV1.com, Eklektro.net/com/org, UMF.net? PatriotReact.net (unlaunched)...
and we're ALL all-ways under construction... work in progress... ready for the next relaunch...
dig you all,
