pursuers of the light: community of light & mount analogue, a night of live invisible birds music

(graphics by chi yun)

community of light & mount analogue live

saturday, december 14th, 2013

a night of experimental, psych, drone, kosmische music with live visuals

community of light :  matthew swiezynski, michael malinski and chi yun
mount analogue : chi yun and matthew swiezynski

community of light is a collective of artists & musicians working in the post kraut cosmic drone continuum which was initiated by mr. robert fludd and has come to full fruition in the twenty-first century in various forms.  specifically; as pursuers of the Light, which is often called Darkness, and a sound we call silence (with a method called night vision).

one critic of note has said of the community : "community of light reconceives a music that has for a long time been gathered from the invisible and most ancient of all communities, which has been in existence since the creation of the Cosmos, and will be with us through the end of time.  their music is highly influenced by krautrock, psychedelic, ambient, british folk, electronic and experimental and avant garde music."

bios :

chi yun is a visual artist, painter, designer and electronic ambient musician who moved to oakland after residing in brooklyn for many years.  her work has been shown in group exhibitions in new york and is based on geometric abstraction, surrealism, mysticism and shamanism. 

matthew swiezynski is an abstract film-maker and musician based in oakland california. he currently operates the record label invisible birds, which issues music and dvds by artists who work with abstraction, the environment, bird life, and the spiritual in art.  he is a member of the ingenting kollektiva with tarrl lightowler and has also released some solo recordings.

michael malinski (aka michael michael), originally trained in traditional darkroom fine art photography, has expanded into studies & works in paper making, ink drawing, jewelry design & construction, and music. his work, often based on dreams and subconscious states, has shown in solo & group exhibitions in and around chicago, new york, tucson and san francisco. he currently resides in cherryland.

with an emphasis on the sublime and transcendental qualities of sound gathering & construction

: recent acquisitions :


- jüppala kääpiö - alpen ocean - omnimemento - 2013

recorded by carole kojo & hitoshi kojo
"the overlaid harmonies of a murmuring of trees, howling skies, roarings of the ocean and the gradual transformation that is accompanied by melodies may remind you of migratory birds traveling across the sky on a lost ancient continent, or the dream of sea animals that are in eternal slumber in a ridge of mountains."
clear-spot.nl

- jüppala kääpiö - animalia corolla - omnimemento - 2012

recorded by carole kojo & hitoshi kojo
"since its creation in 2006, jüppala kääpiö has tried to substantiate what they were hearing and feeling from animals, plants or even minerals that they met in their living places in different countries and during travels in different continents.
'animalia corolla' is a record of feasts of spirits gathered from the whole world. their songs, dances and conversations about the synchronicity of their dreams have been transcribed in this album."
from omnimemento website

-  paul bradley / jonathan coleclough / hitoshi kojo / colin potter - water mountain - omnimemento - 2013

"overlapping drone layers littered with elemental textures & debris, harmonic sets in imbricated rotation, where instruments, manipulated objects, field recordings are beyond simple coexistence."
daniel crokaert

- turquoise - automatic cyclamen - octpia - 2000/2011

concept, prepared musical box: raxa
recording, processing, composition, artwork: hitoshi kojo

-  spiracle ‎- sympathetic field - octpia - 2002/2011

- hitoshi kojo - high tide mirror - omnimemento / shining day - 2012

"inner resonance of planets... harmonies made from the distances between planets... melodies generated by their circular dances...
our bodies can become a receiver of cosmic music when we connect our roots to certain places on earth. however the electromagnetic field on the surface of the earth is unduly interfered nowadays. so our sympathetic ability is heavily oppressed by the violent moiré.
first, shall we let ourselves synchronize with the flow of the earth’s fundamental magnetic field, immerse ourselves into the tonal dance with the sun and the moon? then each of us will spontaneously begin to oscillate a unique vibration according to our character. it is the fundamental tone that becomes part of the universal harmony, and the first step to participate in the circular dance of the celestial orbs."
