The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Mensch.
Mathilde Roussel, Lifes of Grass
(soil, wheat seeds, structure from recycled metal, fabric)
“The natural world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being. Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, it’s origin, it’s transport, has an impact on us beyond it’s taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality.”

But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go - we’ll eat you up - we love you so!”
And Max said, “No!”
The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved goodbye.
-Maurice Sendak (June 10, 1928 – May 8, 2012)

A friend to the world. MCA’s passing has solicited a wealth of candid photos from fellow musicians. The recently re-activated Luscious Jackson just posted the top shot here, captioned: “Remembering Adam’s humor…Kate Schellenbach, Mike D., and Adam Y running around on John Berry’s roof at 100th Street.” Earlier, fellow Def Jam alum Chuck D directed tweeps to PE’s site for a group pic taken “right after our very 1st show, Passaic Theater backstage License To Ill Tour April 1, 1987.”
“I am burdened with what the Buddhists call the monkey mind. The thoughts that swing from limb to limb, stopping only to scratch themselves, spit and howl. My mind swings wildly through time, touching on dozens of ideas a minute, unharnessed and undisciplined. You are, after all, what you think. Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions.” -Elizabeth Gilbert

Sonido de Buda.
The Cuban Jam Sessions were a series of records produced and released by the New York record label Panart in the late 50′s. The series started when bass player Israel Lopez (Cachao) would gather a group of musicians and began recording late night/early morning jam sessions in Havana Cuba in 1957. The culmination of their efforts would result in probably the most influential form of Latin American music and the creation of the descarga, a musical improvisation or literally a “letting loose”.
