Brian Burman is an old friend who composes incredibly cool music. He’s been an advisor and inspiration since Polyethylene Pet’s early days in Santa Cruz.
Here are some of our favourite Burman compositions for you to enjoy.
B.Sue is a musician, poet and paper artist. She’s also the longest standing member of Polyethylene Pet/+1, having written, performed and/or co-produced with Kimara Sajn since 1982. She is a major inspiration and influence on the project.
Below we share some of her lovely and intriguing music.
Her beautiful origami luminarias have also graced many PP/+1 covers over the years, including this piece from Kimara’s album “Roses and Fire” and inserts in the “Friendly Fires” box set.
Our dear friend Ed Dickie was a member of the +1 Live Unit in the early 80s. Ed played percussion, keyboards and sang with +1 in Polyethylene Pet’s Santa Cruz performance piece "Visuals". To this day, he remains a spirit guide for the project.
Ed’s a brilliant multimedia artist and a renowned photographer. His artwork will be sprinkled throughout this program. Here is a wonderful video featuring some of his beautiful work.
One of our good friends and a wonderful musician, Matt has assisted and conspired on a number of Polyethylene Pet projects. Notably, he’s appeared on several +1 albums as a musician and also makes occasional commentary as the Indian of the group.
Matt’s work is always a huge inspiration to us.
Here are some of our favourite works from Matt with his colleague Joff Winks and the most excellent Antique Seeking Nuns (now Sanguine Hum).
Matt also provided the piece “Evenings Fade” for the opening of our program tonight.
There is only one word for this fine composer and songwriter. And that word is “Pony”.
He’s an old friend who was very important in the development of the Polyethylene Pet project. One of the only humans alive to hear the dynamic 15 minute tape piece “Meonoon” (released on the first PP album “Smile”). He actually spent an evening listening to it multiple times in a row. Once we got a thumbs up from him, we decided it was worthy to release.
Here is some of the music he’s recorded which has inspired and made us happy.
Our old and dear friend Erling Wold, a composer of some note, has been a stalwart supporter of the Polyethylene Pet project since the beginning. He was an influential part of our thinking about abstraction, musical complexity and taste. His avant-punk attitude matched perfectly with our own and his ongoing friendship and musicality continue to be a source of great inspiration for us.
