In anticipation of the upcoming performance of The Abattoir Pages, Joseph Matheny in conversation with John Harrigan about anything and everything that comes to their mind. All music provided by Veil of Thorns Songs, in order: And the Beast of the Vision Still Roams in Dream Intellectual Institutional Object Thought Pollution Evolution In Your Ear: Reviewing Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story Guerrilla Zoo and FoolishPeople present The Abattoir Pages, a terrifying immersive Halloween experience, hosted in a vast, secret subterranean landscape that was once one of London s largest abattoirs. The Abattoir Pages combines immersive performance, art installation, haunting and treasure hunt-style activity to form a labyrinth of mystery and horror, exposing the earliest Gaelic and Pagan rites. Once inside, audience members will be free to explore the abandoned underground chambers, join the secret party or may be caught in the middle of the most terrifying of puzzles. This Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story The Forest . The author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient tale, which will ensure your survival. Tonight, a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir. http://www.apocryphon.org/

Wow. Wrote to t. Winter Damon to see if he was close to publishing the new work he had told me about how long ago? Wow, like a year. It s been a busy year for sure, but I really need to slow down and smell the roses. His work email bounced, so I figured he d been laid off, seems to be happening a lot so I wrote his publisher and asked him to have Tim call me. I was surprised to receive an email back that he had died. This is happening far too much lately. Anyway, here s an old GPod radio we did several years ago. I ll miss ya man, we had some great conversations. For a taste of what Tim s work was like, read this: To Stare Without Blinking Show : Part 1 | Part 2 (may 15 2005) t.

In this very special edition of The GSpot, Joseph Matheny talks to Raymond Salvatore Harmon about the special release of his movie, The Philosopher s Stone on Greylodge as a torrent to be followed by a Press to Play version being released on Altertube.tv and Pilotlite.com, and then a podcast edition to be released on Alterati, Greylodge and Pilotlite. Joe and Ray discuss art on the fringe, how Ray came to film making, the Chicago art scene, and why the economy means nothing to artists working on the fringes. Subliminal Films present: The Philosopher s StoneDirected and produced by Raymond Salvatore Harmon featuring the music of Bogstarring Jacob Andrew Myers introducing Isobel Julianna Harmon The Philosopher s Stone tells the story of Jacob Fausstman, a scientist and early alchemist who searches for the key to curing man of the disease of death. In his frustration Jacob stumbles onto another path to achieve his goals. Turning to the dark arts Jacob conjures the demon Mephistopheles and is given the key to eternal life. But his perceptions of life eternal and the nature of his existence comes into question once he has obtained his desire for true knowledge. Base in equal parts on the Faustian archetype and the biographical story of Dr. Albert Hoffmann s accidental discovery of LSD, The Philosopher s Stone is an homage to early German Expressionist cinema and the psychedelic visualizations of drug culture. Courtesy of Greylodge.org +++ What critics have said about Harmon s work: For Harmon, the visual density of the abstract imagery used will enable the viewer to enter an almost hypnagogic, liminal state, and become perceptually distant from the sense of the real. Once the enveloping visual content has become the landscape of the mind to the viewer, the subliminal content will have access to the subconscious mind. - Jack Sargeant Accentuating the trio s vibrant performances with colorization, layered collages, dense textures and split-screen effects, Harmon becomes a virtual fourth member of the ensemble. - All About Jazz, on Chronicle The subdued flame-like flashes and sounds reinforce the feeling of quietly smoldering passion. Together, these elements come together to create a delicate composition which is abstract, yet full of feeling. - FilmThreat.com on Tiny Inconsistencies +++ The Philosopher s Stone will be available (via bit torrent) for full download FREE Oct 31st 2008 at GREYLODGE.ORG, subliminalfilms.org, and streaming at: www.philosophersstone.org for more information please contact: stone@subliminalfilms.org or visit greylodge.org subliminalfilms.org raymondharmon.com philosophersstone.org +++ A letter from the director; In choosing to distribute this film I have decided to skip the theatrical presentation stage and go directly to sourcing the film via the bit torrent network. By giving the public full access to this film I hope to encourage other filmmakers to realize the potential of their audience by abandoning the outdated model of cinematic distribution in favor of an open relationship with the viewers themselves. After years of struggle with the format of distribution cinema has found an ever evolving platform of distribution on the internet. Years of so called format wars , first between film gauges and then between dv formats, have ended in the wake of widening broadband access for the average person. The ability for anyone to simple download and watch a film already exists, as does the ability for anyone to make a film and allow the world to experience it directly. The filmmaker has a wide range of encoding practices available that allow them to maximize video quality for each project s distribution on the web. As further technologies and better codecs are develop the filmmaker will be able to expand on the available sources for the cinematic presentation. As much as the Philosopher s Stone visually represents a historic period in early 20th century cinema it looks forward to a future unfettered by lack of distribution and a platform for broadcast that gives everyone a chance to experience cinema to its fullest. This film is meant as a mirror, reflecting what has been onto what will become.
