I started this blog to document and comment on the formation of the crazy large-scale idea: The Underground Garden.
If you poke around on this site as well as my home music site, you’ll get the idea. It’s an album, it’s a series of three Rogue Performance Festival shows, it’s a cooperative visual art piece, it’s a series of small video films, it’s a CD release party AND it’s a blog.
It’s all built around this idea of The Underground Garden—-the idea that a local music/art scene is alive and interconnected. There’s also the parallel I see between Forestiere’s Underground Garden and Fresno’s (or maybe anybody’s) local music/art scene.—–wonderful, full-of-personality, but yet also under-explored. My hopes for this project is that it will be a tiny step in curing that last part and also an affirmation of local musicians and artist.
Ghandi said something like (don’t you love accurate quotations?!): It doesn’t matter how small a thing is; it is most important that you do it.
Here’s hoping for a few months of wonderful explorations, collaborations and maybe some noisy and fun music!
