Or not, just sayin!! Do your thing with your friends. Also, Twinkie-peanut-butter-and-jelly-layer-cakes are the official dessert. Mainly, hang out with your friends and party in your own way. (that way there's plenty of time to celebrate.

We needed a few 'non-traditions', sort of a framework, so here you go:īULLSTAR takes place from the last full moon of the year, through to the 1st full moon of the new year. Like many things AREOLA 51, it was a no-brainer! Plus, it sounded good. Why? Because there was a bull skull on the wall and Pinkus had strung Christmas lights in a star shape around it. We decided to come up with our own Winter Holiday and called it BULLSTAR. Back when I lived in Texas I was in a band called AREOLA 51 (with Jeff Pinkus and Brett Bradford). I'm an agnostic but can still be kinda grossed out by that.Īm I a cynical bastard yet? I love giving presents and I love to get together with my family or friends and have fun, so I don't think so.

I know I shouldn't focus on the negative, but something about killing a bunch of trees to dress up like magical tree-zombies in your living room for a few weeks-per-year while also using them on all that wrapping paper- as well as having to be all nice on a specific day - and being obliged to buy presents all while being hounded by a zillion awful renditions of the same Christmas songs over and over-has always rubbed me the wrong way as not much more than a schlocky and gross grab at my money designed by the Coca-Cola company.but in the name of something spiritual.

As Griffin himself states, “the goal is to create something with as little conscious method of control or composition as possible, to rely upon the unconscious mind to drift through the setup and produce something before it's all over.” Restrained or intense, ominous or outright hostile, the raw gristle of Pilot’s Salt transports the listener to the dark recesses of improv noise & leaves it up to them to find their own way back.

Perhaps more than ever a sense of abstract narrative & development emerges from each patiently evolving track as Parashi freely explores the limits of his rigs. Pilot’s Salt finds Parashi utilizing modular synths, tape, metal objects, & noise generators to further his technique of improvised sound as defined by the interactions of the sonic elements within. Still, a distinct signature naturally permeates into his sound: every dark corner & shrill tone is uniquely & unmistakably Parashi and Pilot’s Salt is no exception. Though prolific his mounting body of work continues to evolve & expand in new ways with each release, broadening the bleak & often ominous abyssal planes he’s become known for. Since 2009 Mike Griffin has been exploring sound by steadily releasing Parashi missives on a slew of tape labels including Tape Drift, GNS, Stunned, and his own Skell Records as well as playing in Burnt Hills, Urkas, and Mensheviks.
