About Me

Tiko Rainyfeet is a primitive modern. It is questionable in this day and age to claim that any artist is truly "discovered". But in 2004 Tiko was first brought to the attention of UCLA anthro-musicologist Fabian Hollander while on a field recording mission in Sri Lanka. There he first heard of a local musician who had been evicted from his provincial village for the conviction of stealing, hoarding, and bastardizing over 300 radios from tourists and his fellow villagers. Tiko Rainyfeet has since made a name for himself through his improvisational reconstruction of circuit boards with speakers attached at random points. With his own invention of sound source and stringed accompaniment, he tells his personal stories which verge on a primitive ecological narrative railing against sedentary technology.……………….

Influences: RECENT TiKo RAiNyfeEt UPDATE- There is a growth of forest in Northern Sri Lanka that very few human know about. One section of it conatains twenty of the largest single organisms on Earth. Each of these are singular large growths of aspen trees all connected by one huge root system spanning over two miles each and sprouting thousands of trees. This North Sri Lankan forest is really made up of twenty seperate entities hugely vast in size and extent of their own "trees" which are really just branches sprouting from one huge root system. In this forest TiKo RaiNyfeet had the idea of connecting each and every one of these trees together with miles of conductive copper and zinc wire creating one huge battery or "bah-tree" as he calls it. Intending to amplify the secret musical language of these trees which TiKo was sure he heard, he connectd many small speakers taken from radios,headphones,televisions, and telephones at random points throughout the forest. As he began adding "colr pece" (capacitors and transistors ripped from circuit boards of junked appliances) to the circuitry, a strange, beautiful and powerful resonance began to influence the land, air, and all it's inhabitants for miles around. As the days flow into months, this influence is continuing to resonate across points of the planet.
Sounds Like: is soft green shoe pads on forest road. stones dont hurt if you think of snake line. Turtle crossing brings strength and wisdom of many ages. let sun shine images on tree bark and story unfold. dive crouching image. Into your deep. Surface and smile. Float on back and spit terrestial sauce. Cleanse the day. So potent now you have to find a purpose. Sit and wait. Or waste in searching.
