Thee Nonmusic of Thee Uncondemning Monk

About our music.

Light & Artaud: image-5c

Until recently, we were under the dellusion that we made music, but that is not honest, not with ourselves, nor with our project. Simply said, we are interested in the manipulation/augmentation and usage of light and sound, sound and light. It just so happens that they have musical elements to it. Our films are currently an initial exploration of our work on the cut-up and our work to move it forward, via two addition methods we have come up with, article to follow. These two extra or additional methods are "Fusing and Slumping" AND "blending," such that it goes something like this... we cut it up, we fuse and slump (using some bridge work), and then blend it into an irrducable, non reversable entity, that can not be undone, less it be destroyed. But back to the music.

As soon as we discoved that we are not into making music, that we are into making nonmusic, Thee Uncondemning Monk started to become more musical, ironically. As such, we are working on some bass beats of a more "traditional" variety. These are too experiemental, and will be coming to your soon. By way of new news for those that follow our project, we have two new videos to share.

New Videos/Films:
For a Dead Artaud on his Birthday (or) 120 Years for Artaud (Version 5)
and the other film
a ride of the slow dawn of nonmusic video version one/three

Monsteration of the Desert Sound

The Video*, presented below, is a gift to you. It is Thee Uncondemning Monk's experience tunneled through to the medium where we, The Jack Frost Committee™, entered in to pick this up (complete credits here) . The entire work reflects the past seven months of their experience with not only the most recent process of creating the compilation, but also their relationship to thee One True TOPI Tribe. What is perhaps most interesting, is that the video was made in the room in which the song was written and recorded, as well as were many a project ideas have been birthed, aborted and/or put up for adoption. A virtual window to the TOPI tribe, allowing those who can coum-to-gather, and touch hands, in LovE & coum-Unity, as stated on mission statement one, of the tribe. And to those reading, from the tribe, yes, yes that is the One True TOPI Tribe Book, from the mail art (sigil) project. All is dedicated to the Third Mind and for the greater realization of the One True TOPI Tribe.

This is only the beginning... "Hail to the New Flesh, Death to the Image"
Stay tuned! Over the next year or so we will continue to explore what it means for theology and material science, indeed the monstrosity we sometimes call humanity, to seriously consider the "second death."
