"The Silver Lining demos" book


The Silver Lining demos book
http://bit.ly/20OCB6t (PDF)


 


A book (available as a PDF) that opens with titles readable as very concentrated poems, or one longform piece. The book then continues through more than three-dozen technicolor collages, making references and inferences in many directions. The book is a cosmogenesis blossoming forth from the pregnant void. Post-rock informs the book in thematics and in aesthetic contrast as the narrative arc oscillates between the majestically dark and technicolor hope. There are monolithic, black, forbidding features, then there is colorful, concentrated, brightness. The narrative of: from dark to light, from tenebrous and austere, to bright, complex & intimate. It is a hopeful narrative. The book reads like a shredding guitar solo about art as a force of nature, and technology as another kingdom of life in a mythic world where wild(er)ness and the sublime coalesce in amplified sincerity.
