*PUBLISHING a NEW BOOK shortly: coolgrove.com/books/american-fools-day/
Welcome to The ‘ANTARTICA’ Collection: Atlantis To Zardoz is the first of a series of experimental albums consisting of instrumental compositions which fuse genres & disintegrate boundaries of conventional expectation—to lend the ear an absurd Zen experience: of unexpected organic and geometric changes, shifting mystic journeys, of Impressionistic sound melody rhythm and color. This recording conveys aesthetics of melodic experimentation and unconventional voicings, such as a Medieval-Jazz expressionism, as well as influences of Progressive Rock, Psychedelia, Miles Davis, The Doors, Floyd, Zappa, Stravinsky, Blues, Metal, Classical, Folk, Sci-fi & the intrinsic Avant-Garde pursuit to play with these forms and transcend into unique forms unheard before. Working with the group Giant Enemy Cancer Cult also contributes an inspired influence (After 100 hours recorded since Covid) due to its modus operandi of composing purely in the moment, creating inspired & evolving new forms . . . contrasted with the original epic funk and rock of the Earthman Band I’m currently performing with (album out shortly).
Much of Atlantis to Zardoz is in a clean crystalline heavy tone—pleasant to the tranquil—while jettisoned into flights of strange & curious explorations of sonic myths and distortions for the imagination to play in . . .
70 minutes. Some call it purgatorial in its perverse twists from beauty to the daily angst of American pain—the post-2020 surreal grit of pandemic lockdowns and socio-political hysteria & devolution … This music will destroy life as we know it. Its subversive vibrations are a danger to almost all of what we think is real. I shall be vilified as a Madman. Nevertheless.

After visiting The Rocky Mountains this was the first thing I recorded as soon as I walked in. The epic cavernous scope of unending articulations of massive rock sculptured earth---textured panoramic mountains, ravines, snow & the detailed chasms and crevices—all resonate in the stories the music tells. Please give these compositions a chance. If you like the electricity of guitars melting in your brain—whilst driving through misty fog as laser-like beams of sun cut through the haze, or while elevating one’s consciousness in between trips to the office . . . from soulful meditations to cranking at maximum volume, this album is for you.

Or. Your friend may say: “This is some trippy shit!”
