Prince Rama, sometimes known as “Prince Rama Of Ayodhya”, are a 3 member psychoactive, musical project who currently hail from Brooklyn, NY.  They have previously spent time in Boston going to art school, and then England working with n’ learning from the likes of the modern day uber duper astronautical explorer n’ master painter: Paul Laffoley.  And oddly enough for me, some or all of the P-Rama outfit originally hail from somewhere in, none other than the psychedelic training grounds that eYe grew up in & is commonly refered to as: “Florida”. -Land of the magical cow pattie. (See folks, the F-L does produce transcendent philosophical explorers n’ brilliant artists. It sadly just doesn’t nurture them much while they’re here.)

Anywayz, There’s plenty more to learn about Prince Rama and their mandala makin’ mentor: Mr. Paul Laffoley by following the links above and diggin’ around on the interwebs. I believe the track in the video, which is titled: “Om Namo Shivaya” is off of their 4th studio album “Shadow Temple”, and IMO they’ve still got a lil wayz to go as band, atleast on the production and percussion tips, but with videos and tracks like this coalescing into one insanely gorgeous bit of existential, psychedelic transcendence.. the sky’s not even the limit.

That 4th studio album was good enough to grab the attention of the CEO’s of the current aRt rawk movement, Animal Collective, who’ve released it on their uber important indie imprint: “Paw Tracks”. Not too shabby Prince Rama. I’m def feelin’ it, and you’ve definitely got a fan in me.

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!

Classic and haunting. As is everything Mz. Andersson lays her hands on or puts her voice to. If you’re the artistically adventurous and eccentric type, check out anything you can by “Fever Ray”, and her and her brother’s experimental pop electronic group “The Knife”.

Thanks to the Apartment E crew, Taste Art, and especially Nyahzul..
I/Gar BaiLey am gonna be showcasing somewhere between like 15 – 25 of my newest, most spectacular paintings this November. The w3rk will be up for almost a month from November 13th – December 8th, 2009 at TASTE in College Park, FL. -It’s just outside of downtown Orlando. This particular show is entitled: “Creature Of Habit“.

*There will be an opening night party on Nov. 13th from 7 – 9PM. Taste is not only a music venue, an art gallery, & a fully stocked bar, but it’s also a quality Tapas restaurant for those looking to get their grub on.

eYe will definitely be on hand during the opening night festivities to mingle, celebrate, take photos, answer any questions about the w3rk, & I’ll also be DJing some of my favorite music to further enhance the visual impact of my paintings. So if you’re interested in my w3rk at all, and can make it out to see some of my more recent paintings in the “FLESH“, then please don’t miss this opening of my first art show back in Orlando in a quite a few years.
