Young Freebooters NYC
First Young Freebooters NYC Collaboration. 15 member Gamelan-style free for all.
Corpse Flower + Young Freebooters = Young Flower, Freebooter Corpse, Young Corpse, or Freebooter Flower?
I've been having these minor fugues of feeling - a longing for earthy squatting and threading patterns. Winter's slugging along and with it are the living tensions of a new spring. How can I take care of the Self? How can I wake up above the rim of capitalism? How can I taste a wild seed? How can I teach the bureaucrat in me, rhythm?
Come play Gamelan style music with me at my home. We can work toward a singular finite goal- a performance in May at a very special space. The time is now! It's never going to happen any other way. We all know this. I envision at least 10-15 of us to perform a poly-rhythmic motivational speech! Bristling, euphoric, embarrassing, foaming, all the contours of a magnificent stinky flower will explode- like the CORPSE FLOWER. It's the abattoir of floral notation darting omni-directionally. Ecstasy will roll at our feet I promise.

129 Java Street, ground floor apt.
between Manhattan and Java Street (in Greenpoint)
