'Communitas' is a sense of togetherness that arises from collective ritual. In that spirit, we are delighted to offer our first ever physical release as an imprint. David Wesley Golightly's Seven Songs for Solo Piano is a collection of music rooted in the "simple, immediate joy of making sound" and sharing it with others. The album was recorded at home by David on a 19th century piano he restored by hand and mixed and mastered by @chuckjohnsonmusic . The artwork and layout were designed by @opticalsoundexperience, J-cards were riso printed by @ohchute and cassettes were produced by @crypticcarousel. They just arrived yesterday and they look and sound beautiful. Limited run of 100 copies. Bandcamp link in bio; preorders ship soon. You can also get a copy from David during his upcoming performances in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco! 🍃

It's been fun working w/Max Abner to put together next Saturday's show at Beauty Supply in downtown Oakland. I'll be doing a solo set then collaborating with this remarkable collection of improvisers: Fred Lonberg-Holm: improviser/composer now living in the Bay Area whose list of collaborators includes Peter Brötzmann, Axel Dörner, Michael Zerang, and Joe McPhee. A new (one-time?) quintet consisting of: ・multimedia artist and musician Tasya Abbot ・Avant-Jazz vocalist extraordinaire Lorin Benedict ・electronic music composer Nathan Corder ・Emily Pothast and David Golightly of the ambient synth duo Hair and Space Museum Beauty Supply prefers that their street address not be posted to social media so either sign up for the Occasional Missive that'll be going out in the next day or two (https://erictheise.com/mailing-list/) or DM me (before 3p day of show, please!). It's spitting distance from the Oakland Tribune Tower and 12th St BART. #ASynesthetesAtlas @beautysupply.arts @macapner @fredlhom @tasyaabbot @lorinbenedict @ooogoshwow @davigoli @emilypothast #performance #cartography #expandedCinema #OpenStreetMap

Dr. Emily Pothast’s dissertation, Mediating Revelation: Apocalypse as Divine Media Theory, was described as ‘overwhelmingly amazing’ by her outside reader, none other than Anton Kaes, a giant in the world of film studies at UC Berkeley. The rest of us - Dr. Devin Zuber @zuberiffic , Dr. James Nati @j1mst4gr4m ,and myself could not agree more. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to accompany Dr. Pothast on her journey of research and writing over these past years. Sometimes I’d lose track of time reading her dissertation drafts over coffee on Saturday mornings, finding myself pulled into her captivating prose and the images she conjured as she built and applied this innovative new approach that can be applied to so many contexts from early print media to Metropolis and beyond. Bravo, Emily - you did it! @emilypothast @gtuberkeley
