My school thought booking a bunch of kids into jail would inspire folks to do the right thing. Given how many people I know in prison, I don't think it worked.
I once filmed a sunrise in China and made an Altmanesque film within view of the Hollywood sign. Spontaneous is the best, and if it happens under headphones, then it's even better.
When not daydreaming solo, I play guitar in Ghost Parliament, bass with Lija Fonner, vibe with Cassette Masters and treebends, plus make stuff you can look at (including this website). All while livin' at the Casa de Lo-fi. Life is good.
