FIGMENT

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0700

I played music this weekend at FIGMENT-- an amazing all-volunteer run festival on Governor's Island. It turns Governor's Island into a collaborative art space where each person who attends can interact with each art work (there are so many all around the island). I walked through white silk sheets, painted a picket that became part of an American Dream picket fence maze, had my portrait drawn on the inside of a matchbook by Ohio Mike (see the picture on my blog http://dearlilithfair2010.wordpress.com/2010/06/14/figment/), added my childhood dream to a copper wire dream tree, threw around multi-colored rose petals, planted a drawing in a doodle garden, and sang music to listeners who sat on a painted bell.

Here is a new song on the microkorg called "Ways of the World." It's about the world being absurd and the crazy dreams I have where my internal organs are undoing themselves from me. Check it out!
