Welcome to RogueSounds' Myspace profile.
To those who may be confused by the musical content, please let me explain.
RogueSounds is a kind of 'concept album' - and a work in progress. It's informed by the spirit of 'culture jamming', an attempt to capture fragments of the vast and unending media torrent, mess with them a bit, then send them back out there. It's all good clean fun in the name of expressing dissident perspectives.
This is not about personal attacks or the venting of fury. It's about imagining a world in which powerful leaders could display their humanity amidst the struggles of their decision making. Imagine if George Bush reflected upon his past actions and had a kind of epiphany, in which he admitted to himself the horrendous consequences of his decisions. Imagine then that he felt remorse for these decisions and decided to dedicate his life thereafter to the righting of wrongs in the world.
The transformed President Bush is the thread that binds this imaginary journey together. The third piece Quickening was recently uploaded. It has George throwing down the ethical gauntlet to John Howard on the subject of global warming.
They'll be together in the flesh soon at Sydney's APEC meetings. I can't get them to visit this page unfortunately... Anyway - comments on any of the pieces are welcome. To quote George: "peace and love!"
