I met Paige Bradley at Cal Arts when we both attended for fall 2007 and went on to become close friends with her when she attended RISD in 2009. We've maintained a friendship since she's moved to NY where she's currently living, and it's been fun keeping up with her & her projects. Cave Drawings exhibits work that is sad & conversely content & shyly revealing. I find this stuff to be "opium for the soul" as it let's me feel & be with my feelings & broadcast them as she does. Cave Drawings #1
Thanks to the folks at the Armageddon shop in Providence for my copy of the zine & to Paige, who got me the high quality scans !
this record features Eric's poem printed in the booklet. the audio is reversed but the poem reads through the backwards audio.
Nicky Smith, an interviewer from SpliceToday gets information on this:
ST: You lived in Morocco within the last two years or so. What was the experience like and what did you accomplish there?
EC: My wife and I spent about three months there in 2010—we saved some money and lived cheap. I traveled without any musical equipment, so I started writing while there and ended up with a recording that was released by Fusetron called Aladdin. Not really sure where it all came from. Certainly not for everybody.
ST: How was Aladdin written? How did you get yourself in that cut-up state of mind?
EC: It's not so much the cut ups that attracted me but the strength of words. I don't usually focus much on words in music. I was not able to speak much during my time there so I developed a slightly skewed attitude towards English and Aladdin was the result.
Released back in 2010 it had a 1 per person limit from fusetron and a full release of 100 copies.
found this at Desert Island, a comic book shop in Brooklyn. quick response from them, and shipped it on the same day. bought the last copy in the store ! sorry !
