One of my greater influences in the art of collage and assemblage, Robert Rauschenberg, has passed away from heart failure at the age of 82. An artist who never retired, who never shyed away from trying new mediums, and one who’s impact on contemporary art, especially in mixed media, will not soon be forgotten.
Unfettered Curiousity was your gift to the w3rld.
This one’s for you Bob.. (Raises glass)

“BED” - 1955
Embedded below this message are 2 of my favorite clips from my recent daVinci’s performance as a part of the event:
Avant GARism #5.

alGARhythm - Live at Avant GARism #5 (entire set)
Unfortunately, this will most likely be the last Avant GARism occasion held in downtown Deland at Caffe daVinci. A sincere thank you goes out to caffe daVincis for giving this event a chance, and perhaps even greater than that.. a solid footing to branch out from in the future. And though the support that we did receive from patrans over the past 6 months was decent. This past event being exceptionally sweet, with almost every seat in the courtyard filled. *In the bitter end.. it was not quite enough support to garner further Avant GARism events being held in Deland. I would definately like to thank all the special artists that came out and played their heARTs out for the all the wonderful folks who came out to hear and see these recepticals of transecendance. We did take a good shot at bringing the underground to Deland.. too bad that perhaps deland wasn’t quite ready for it yet.
So it is quite fitting that we went out with such a bang on May 3rd, 2008. Nathan Wolek, then Benny Loco, followed by myself: alGARhythm brought honest, muzikal heat in each of our performances of our own respective, electronic sub-genres. I am also stoked that the majority of this was caught on video!! (Look for some Nathan Wolek & Benny Loco footage in the near future.) Big big thanx to Mr. A_Scissors Cunningham and Sir Drone Operator for helping me out with the video stuff, relocating gear, friendship in general, and for putting up with my occasional, grumpy, anxiety fits. You guys rock it hard nails sonz. So without further delinquince, enjoy the stellar footage of my performance below.
Always - alGARhythm BaiLey
