The full-length video for “Take Time” by The Books, at the top, and twelve other full-length music videos are included on The Books – “Playall” DVD, which you can nab at: www.thebooksmusic.com. They’ve also got a stellar new album out, their 4th LP eye believe, called “the way out”.

When it comes to combining sound collage, video art, musicality, w3rds, and existentialism.. I don’t know too many modern day artists who do it better.

Long live The Books!!!

Assemblage: “DAAS” | By: Gar BaiLey

algarhythm@gmail.com (Gar Bailey) — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 05:31:37 +0000

One of my best friends and biggest supporters recently commissioned me to to do one of my trademark “portrait assemblages” of/for him. It took a couple months to gather the ingredients, and a couple more weeks to assemble it all in the perfect manner. In the end, I think it’s definitely one of my strongest w3rks in this particular style. It’s also my first assemblage that has a removable accessory, ie the hat. Anyway, there’s a few photos of the assemblage included here. You can go to this flickR page to view larger, linkable versions if ya like.

Thank you Daas for all your support as a true friend, a patron of my w3rk, and an inspiration. Massive thank you’s D for helping me become a better artist in the process. I’ll never ever forget yer support hombre. Hope this assemblage helps show you how much you mean to me as a friend.

Memorial Day.. retrospections

algarhythm@gmail.com (Gar Bailey) — Mon, 31 May 2010 20:36:06 +0000

Being intro/retrospective today.. Thinking of all the Veterans.. past, present, and future. My Grandfather, Father-In-Law, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, and millions of whom I have no relation to.. other than that we are all brothers and sisters of the Human race. I am extremely thankful and proud off these brave soldiers for their service, sacrifice, and extreme courage, but I am simultaneously saddened by the unmitigated suffering and deaths that so many of them have had to endure, often times unnecessarily. Wondering will there ever come a day in the future when we can look back at “WAR” itself as an abolition and a monumental error in the fabric of our human existence here on earth? Is War & Violence just something that’s in our nature and something that we’ll have to live with forever? On this day I also wonder, which will go extinct first.. War or Human Beings? -because it almost seems like it’s got to eventually be one or the other. Regardless of any of that though, I’m thankful that there are folks who are out there protecting me and my family, because lord knows I wouldn’t want to pick up a gun. I just hope there come a day when there won’t be a need for them to do it anymore. I hope there comes a day when human beings evolve to live in true harmony with each other and when, as a wiser than me once said.. “The world can live as one”.

Video: Pogo – “Garden”

algarhythm@gmail.com (Gar Bailey) — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:53:22 +0000

This an amazing piece of A/V exploration & reconfiguration at it’s finest. Where a special young artist called: “Pogo” turns his Mother, her “Garden”, House, and her voice into spectacularly potent contemporary art.

Pogo – “Garden”

Click here to view the embedded video.

Pogo is an emerging, young electronic music artist from Perth, Western Australia. Equal Parts Programmer, Producer, ReMixer, Mash-Up king, VJ, and Visionary. He is known for his work recording small sounds from a single film or scene and sequencing them to form new pieces of music altogether, many of which have accompanying videos which correlate with the sounds/samples. Creating wonderfully concise and colourful reflections of contemporary technological world culture.

While also, engaging the viewer/listener to think about intellectual “property”, and what/who determines the “tools” that modern day artists are permitted to use in creation of contemporary aRtw3rks. Much in the same way pioneers of similar artforms, such as: Negativland, The Avalanches, Girl Talk, and a few others have done in years past. And at a mere 21 years of age, Pogo is an incredible mature and aware artist who appears to have a very bright future ahead of him. Good for him and good for the w3rld!

Otto Von Schirach mural by: Francesco LoCastro w/ Video

algarhythm@gmail.com (Gar Bailey) — Mon, 10 May 2010 02:27:21 +0000

One of my favorite painters living in FL, Francesco LoCastro, recently painted a large mural of one of FL’s most original, auditory artisans, Otto Von Schirach, on a wall in Wynwood, Miami. Peep the video below to see the mural take shape, colour, and form to the uncanny soundz of Mr. Otto V. S. Any way you slice it, some pretty sick stuff! With mad talent galore spewing out of all avenues, angles, & orifices.
