Dedicated to the ability and courage to live completely open, our most sensitive parts exposed. Confessions told in the midst of a crowd, desire writ large, and even regret is savoured as the flavour of life itself. FoolishPeople bring you our inaugural podcast episode. We stand uncovered in sound and art, beginning with the theme central to all human potentiality: Love.
FoolishPeople present 'A Red Threatening Sky'; an immersive Valentine’s event which takes place in a vast subterranean labyrinth of an old disused abattoir, combining performance, art installation and investigative interaction to create Club Aethereus; a strange and surreal underworld of Gnostic Noir. A place where crime, passion, the sacred and profane all cast one shadow.
In a post-apocalyptic world, Y is a documentary-style reality show where the grand prize is the future of our species on planet Earth. Mythos Media and FoolishPeople will join with DPRGRM to create, a feature film that starts shooting in London in July 2010. July 2010. London, 02/04/10 - DPRGRM/Hukilau announced that `Y', developed throughout 2009 will now be shot in London in July. `Y' forges a new path in independent cinema by bringing together real world experience and film in a unique way. “Y” brings an audience inside the creation of a modern myth. The audience will become actual cast members, and be immersed in the story in real time. The film crew will also be part of the story as well as part of the cast, therefore creating a total immersive experience that bridges the traditional proscenium of audience/performer. The ambitious staging and shooting technique is enhanced by the premise that In the future, with one only viable myth left, humanity desperately tries to re-imagine the reality show as a means of their salvation, using any available remaining technology, no matter how dangerous. Haze treatment facilities centers have risen to offer everyone the potential to become Citizen Y, while providing an addicted species with its drug of choice: mindless entertainment. The actual crew of the reality show will be made up of news, reality and documentary style cinematographers and the production will be filmed entirely in the Cinéma vérité style. Written by John Harrigan and James Curcio, and directed by Joseph Matheny, Y is a unique production fusing characters from Curcio's second published novel, Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning and Harrigan's screenplay GraveLand, currently in pre production. DPRGRM will finance and distribute the film, working alongside online media corporation Hukilau.
Joseph Matheny, founder of DPRGRM and Hukilau co-founder says: “We will be employing cutting edge production, post production and distribution techniques that have been gestating for several years while the technology caught up to the vision. We chose this project and this team specifically because the project lends itself to the medium and the people can keep up.”
James Curcio, Creative Director of Mythos Media, says: “Mythos Media was founded specifically to work on projects like this, and modern myths have been my life passion. I am eager to dive in and create this world, both as production designer and producer of the soundtrack However, even more, I am eager to collaborate with all of the creatives that are already lining up to become a part of this truly one-of-a-kind project.”
John Harrigan, Artistic Director of FoolishPeople comments: “After a long gestation I'm really looking forward to the live event and shoot. As Director of Performance on Y, I'll be working with the vast majority of FP members, both past and present to realize the truly unique manifestations that exist within HAZE01.”
About Y: Civilisation has fallen. In the rubble, we at the Y Corporation have developed the ultimate solution to save society: the Y Show. We encourage all good citizens to sign up for the show. You will be housed within a wonderful Haze Treatment Facility and undergo unique psychological treatment, which will clear away the illness of individuality. This reprogramming will be broadcast to the eyes and ears of citizens in our New World, populated with previous contestants and patients. This is a reality show unlike any other! There is a secret that haunts Haze01, the original treatment facility. Two patients, locked deep within its walls, contain archetypes that reject all reprogramming. They channel portents and omens of another future, a world where myth and divinity remake reality, manifesting a planet fit for Gods. In this season of the Y show, the doctors of the facility make their final attempt to process these two patients, before they break free and unleash total anarchy. Tune in.

FP are extremely excited to be working with such a talented group of artists and writers. We recommend you visit their sites to see what they have in store for you.
We'll be profiling each of the artists here in the next two weeks and the second wave of artists will be announced early next week.
P. Emerson Williams is a visionary artist and illustrator, whose work has been displayed in galleries and events in Norway, Scotland, Boston, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, Florida and London. His illustrations have also appeared in countless publications, as the artist in residence at Ghastly magazine and as the illustrator for many other Goth and occult publications from California to Virginia, and Lithuania, England and Finland to Colombia, as well as covers for sevel titles from Original Falcon and Leilah Wendell’s book «Necromance». His art can be seen on the front cover of SLEEPCHAMBER’S return to action release “Socery, Spellls, and Serpent Charms”, as well as the Zewizz tribute releases “That’s Romance” (both part 1 and 2). He is a core member of FoolishPeople starting from London productions of Cirxus and The Abattoir Pages and continuing with the forthcoming A Red Threatening Sky on other projects in the works.
Williams’ experimental Gothic.Industrial act VEIL OF THORNS is approaching the twenty year mark in their career, and they continue to build on an ever expanding palette with «salon Apocalypse» and «Necrofuturist». Veil Of Thorns began as a Goth band in the early 90’s club scene in Boston but steadily moved toward a more eclectic sound. Not afraid to use any influence – you will hear styling’s of goth, hip hop, industrial, classical, and just about the whole kitchen sink. In 2009, VEIL OF THORNS formed a creative alliance with Inner-X-Musick, the label and music distributor run by the infamous John Zewizz of SLEEPCHAMBER fame.
Coming to fruition in 2010 are two releases from CHORONZON, P. Emerson Williams’ chaotic project whose twin roots lie in industrial and black metal music. CHORONZON, began as two separate and entirely unrelated projects with the same name: the eastern half was a Boston/Florida based black metal-styled band formed in 1986 by P. Emerson Williams, while its western counterpart was the San Francisco old school industrial project of Demimonde Mesila Thraam. In 2002, the two respective CHORONZONs became aware of each other via the internet, and agreed to share use of the name, before going still further and collaborating musically.
Prior to the merging of CHORONZONs, the East Coast CHORONZON released of a series of self produced cassettes before being signed to the record label Nocturnal Art Productions in 1998, and released the album «Magog Agog». Three more albums followed, in which the sound moved further away from conventional black metal into industrial and experimental territories. The first release from the conjoined CHORONZON was the double album New World Chaos, produced in 2005.
If that is not enough, P. Emerson Williams has more bubbling under the surface. Keep an eye out for renewed and exponential activity from kkoagulaa and Mythos Media in the coming year and the move of Necrofuturist {TRANS}_Mission, his radio show on Radio Nightbreed from web streaming to Sirius/XM sattelite radio.
kkoagulaa are excited to announce the signing of a deal with Aural Music. kkoagulaa, the multimedia, multidimensional project formed by ccernn after his departure from Manes, have wrapped up production on their debut full length. The album, titled Aurum Nostrum Non Est Aurum Vulgi, marks a new era of an exponential growth of creativity for the artists involved.
The inception of kkoagulaa continues and furthers the pushing of boundaries that characterized the black metal/avant-garde careers of its core members, kkoagulaa’s art is a kaleidoscopic vortex of dark and light, brilliant, psychedelic colour contrasting haunting, evocative monochrome. Much discussion and speculation surrounds the kkoagulaa podcasts, ebooks and art. The period of conception and gearing up yielded hours of material, but that material were but the rough sketches, the single and debut album comprising the first masterworks of kkoagulaa.
Aurum Nostrum Non Est Aurum Vulgi is set to be released in late February 2010 and will be preceded by a digital only EP in late january 2010.
FoolishPeople are proud to announce a first-time collaboration with Space Engineering for their upcoming project in the subterranean landscape of the Old Abattoir.
A Red Threatening Sky will now feature unique choreography by Johan Stjernholm. Space Engineering is an experimental dance company on the crossroads between art and science, bringing together exciting artists and cutting edge research on the body and movement. You can view more of their work at: www.SpaceEngineering.org We will be announcing other artists who will be involved in the event over the coming weeks. Discounted tickets are available now if you purchase on-line at: www.ClubAethereus.com
We are very proud to announce that Salon Apocalypse, Veil of Thorns' debut on Inner-X-Musick is now carried by the venerable Soleilmoon label. Check it out as you make your selections from their amazing catalogue.
DESCRIPTION: "Experimental Gothic.Industrial act VEIL OF THORNS have formed a creative alliance with INNER-X-MUSICK. P. Emerson Williams, Veil of Thorns frontman and multi-instrumentalist is currently completing production on the first album to be released on INNER-X-MUSICK, Salon Apocalypse, which is the first new release since Cognitive Dissonance in 2007. Approaching the twenty year mark in their career, VEIL OF THORNS continue to build on an ever expanding palette with their most varied release to date. From the stripped down, back to the guitar driven psychedelic heaviness of old the last release, the band return to to the organic shifting soundscape melding shades of electronic, classical, hiphop with a darker than ever gothic sensibility.
FoolishPeople present A Red Threatening Sky; an immersive Valentine’s event combining performance, art installation and investigative interaction to create Club Aethereus; a strange and surreal underworld of Gnostic Noir. A place where crime, passion, the sacred and profane all cast one shadow.
The Valentinian. Harry wakes with no memory of how he arrived inside the club. He has been contracted to find a missing person. Pearl.
The Hotel room. Her hands and feet are bound and a hood hides her face. Teddy boy philosopher Roy Boutling watches the prize for the club’s owner. Sebastian Qyain.
The Aviary. The birds song has become distressed. The ornithologist Miss Moreau waits for her lover, a man whose face she has never seen. The Dance Floor.
The showgirls receive a letter from Sebastian Qyain. It contains the revised ending of the Valentine’s show at Club Aetherus, directing them in a horrifying act.
Opening hour approaches under a red threatening sky.
You are invited to enter and investigate the mystery of love’s final destination, in a unique experience honoring the earliest traditions and rituals of courtship and union.
A Red Threatening Sky examines the nature of love, an unrelenting force which pervades all our lives from the moment we are born until the day we die.
It follows FoolishPeople's sell-out run of The Abattoir Pages, where they partnered with Guerrilla Zoo for their third open source meta event at the Old Abattoir, and the critically acclaimed Cirxus, which was performed at The Arcola.
THE MICK 50 and THE MICK 51 are both now up for free download.
THE MICK 51 is a trim little Xmas Special as there haven’t been enough editions of THE MICK this year for people to automatically thrill to chance of being in this. It’s still very cute.
By contrast THE MICK 50 is a bit of a monster. 62 reviews, of various hues, some delightful and odd photos, and then the Big Stuff.
There are interviews with the memorably mysterious (((S))), the wilfully provocative Action Directe, the sleekly combustible Collide, the fiendishly cavorting Deathcamp Project, the dangerously deranged La Peste Negra, the lyrically lethal Philip Butler and the stupendously sumptuous Scarlet Leaves.
The biggest aspect is the Appeal For Phoenix Marie, with her remarkable and touching life story coming through a combination of interview and photos, as well as examples of the photos from her, Jody Elliott and myself that can be purchased towards paying her medical expenses, to prevent any acceleration of brain damage at a time when just one year of treatment could pull her back from the brink and lead to a pretty normal, active life again.

She has banners designed in various colours to fit most page layouts. If you can then move her page into your top friends it would also be extremely helpful.
IMPORTANT - I am publicising this through various LJ communities, on Deathrock and via my own myspace pages and bulletins, but you will all frequent places totally different that I know nothing about. If any of you post on Goth forums can you please make a post including the urls and details above please? That will spread the word. I don't usually ask people to help promote an issue but THE MICK 50 needs to be seen by as many people as possible. I am also seriously crap at using Facebook, so if anyone who enjoys that knows how to circulate the news it would be much appreciated also. Cheers!
I have received a few emails telling me that the FREE INNER-X-MUSICK sampler over at "THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" is hard to find. Soooo. I have placed a link in the opening post. It's at the bottom of the post and highlighted in YELLOW.
The sampler it's self features tracks from Batcheeba, Jonathan Briley, Women Of The SS, Nordhausen, Veil Of Thorns and lot's of SLEEPCHAMBER.
Also, Inner-X-Musick radio is up and running. And it's well stocked with lot's of great musick from Inner-X-Musick over the years. Soon it will also feature shows playing musick by John Zewizz, P. Emerson Williams, and TheeBradMiller.
While I am pointing you to radio listening, not only can you hear Veil Of Thorns on Inner-X-Musick radio... but you can also here Veil Of Thorns on "Phantom Radio Signals" Check it out!

FLOUNCING ABOUT
like a spotlit cartoon, he's a moment he's
a move- ment of the slack
jawed smooth syllabled character he becomes
spouting carefully oiled phrases out eleven p.m. dead
alive and half awake enough to brush his teeth with crystal
meth with entourage of gnats and flies for a fan Club
Boy flexes a smile wide as a billboard shiny
synthetic and white as asbestos stirred up, mainlined
prepped right out of the can because
life is like a bare-boned rig, he
says so he'll just grit his
teeth and take it, fake it till he makes it: Club
Boy's latest con- versation with mirrors, his bulls-
eyed pupils breathe tales of old friends smeared together, strangers
now as he looks at himself foam green some
preface with "sea" color coordinated clothing and feels
like a bad trans- lation his expression
hangs like a prisoner in the bathroom's cadaverous
silence a growling throb in
the back of his throat across
a filmy Aqua Net hairsprayed ex-
panse staring at this molded plastic
torso why am I here? he asks
what am I doing? but in comes
a falsetto cloud of queens and on blares
the music the lullaby of small talk, gossip
and complaints he tickets a Long Island Tea the
answer sticks in his frigid
sublet flesh no way to squint away
how much is real how much is calculated
for effect

These lovely tomes will be available soon from Original Falcon, and more are in process. I had a blast working on these, taking much inspiration from the material and Emerson's Models, (like Pickman's Model...).
Nick Tharcher interview with Mona Magick: mp3 And you can check out the gSpot interview with Nick Tharcher and Linda Miller ,and wade through the ensuing mayhem if you feel ambitious.
"Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces." Goetia is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control, something which expresses the operator's lower desires to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to Goetia while horrifying and repelling others.
Crowley's Goetia is brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.
For the first time, a genuine manual of the dreaded "left-hand path." Braving the new Witchcraft Panic that has swept the world, S. Jason Black and Christopher S. Hyatt have written a book that places the Western magical tradition --- and the Western psyche --- in perspective.
Sweeping aside both the historical fabrications of "neo-paganism" and the rampant mental illness of the religious right, Black and Hyatt explore history, psychology and anthropology to reveal the true "secret doctrine" of Western culture. This work confronts the reader with his own fears and inhibitions --- and carries him beyond.
Comprehensively illustrated, this volume contains a detailed history of European "Black Magic" and includes new editions of 17th and 18th century Grimoires with detailed instructions for their use. Extensively illustrated.

Welcome to "THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012". Spread out here is the blog version of what was going to be a print magazine re-deux of the early 1980's magazine published by John Zewizz - "The Other Sound". There were 8 issues printed before the magazine stopped being pressed. My original idea was to bring it back to press... However, after arranging the pages and setting up to go to print... I discovered it would have cost too much to make it affordable. So, I decided not to let the work go to waste... and make it a free zine/blog.
"THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" has been a labor of love for quite sometime. Inside you will find information about various Inner-X-Musick artists (SLEEPCHAMBER, VEIL OF THORNS, GRAMMAL SEIZURE), as well as Friends on Inner-X-Musick (Cultural Asylum, KayTwo), and items that just interest me (Reviews, Ruth White, CHI-KITTY). Finally also included in this online version of the zine is a free download sampler of the 2009 releases by Inner-X-Musick (coming soon). A Special thank you goes to John Zewizz, Banshee Goldman, P. Emerson Williams, and KayTwo for their help and support.
"THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" is set up for easy browsing. You can choose a topic from the "Sections" spot on the side bar, or choose a topic from the "Blog Archive" from the side bar, simply scroll through the document or use the following Links;
My hope is that from reading THE OTHER SOUND you will become inspired. The only goal is to bring you interesting reading and knowledge not found else where - at least in the manner we have assembled them. In the words of John Zewizz; "In a dehumanizing world one must feel tied in somehow. If not they be lost in confusion to what they feel iz real. We hope you realize the importance ov our goals. To share experiences ov the real world. theze are the interests we hope to share with others- (you)."

The world we inhabit is ever-changing, the way that music is produced and consumed is also ever-changing. The old meritocratic “pop star” system is in a state of freefall and the people are claiming back what is rightfully theirs, the music! It’s music that defines their community and speaks directly to them about their lives, love and values. The internet is causing this change in many ways. One such way is the evolution of social networking sites and subcultural specific sites. One such site is www.praysilence.org. This site’s aims are to serve and reflect the Gothic subculture and to promote the music that is at the very heart of this community. This CD is the product of that. On this CD you will find totally cutting edge Gothic and Gothic evolved tracks by some of the hottest bands to have emerged from the scene in the last decade. We are calling it the “Internet Gothic Revolution” - be a part of this and buy/stock this CD today. You can tell your children that “you were there!”
Sales Points The Nightbreed Label has achieved legendary status in the post Gothic industrial underground. Top underground Gothic and Gothic evolved bands are involved. First all-new Nightbreed compilation album in a number of years. Previous editions from this compilation series have made some bands into (Gothic) household names in the scene.

Big “scene” DJ servicing campaign planned. With solid global support from “Radio Nightbreed” whose listenership now exceeds 80,000!

In conversation with Rachel Haywire about the good old BBS days, music, art and all sorts of goodies. Since this is a special holiday show, they just talked and talked and talked, with no fascist concepts of clocks or calendars. Chaos Never Died! ========= Music this week by Rachel Haywire. Song 1: Dark Discordia Song 2: Mean Enough Hot Enough (Savage Ideal Dance Club Forsaken mix)
Rachel Haywire is a reality terrorist from the metaphysical gutters of post-apocalyptic hell. She has an article out in the disinfo anthology “Generation Hex” entitled “Eris is My Biatch.” She also has two songs coming out on a compilation called Women Take Back the Noise. Besides annihilating reality and deconstructing sound, Rachel Haywire spends her time traveling from city to city and country to country. She likes long walks on the beach and lunatic street riots.
the debut album “aurum nostrum non est aurum vulgi” (to be released by aural music) is receiving its last, finishing touches right now. audio is being finalized, artwork is being worked on, things have been dissolved and coagulated a lot of times… so, we have a lot of temporary audio, sketches, and stepping stones lying around, and here’s your chance to hear some of it. and there’s even more over @myspace. more info about the album soon…
There is a theme, but an as yet nebulous one. I'm pulling together phenomena and experiences connected with art movements of the last hundred years and the corresponding societal upheavals that ran concurrently and which had an enormous impact on the birth, life and death of those art movements.
At the same time, I'm meditating on the similarities and interconnectedness of art and cultural groups and cults, magickal groups, religions, philosophical paradigm shifts and the growth they spur as well as the devastation they leave in their wake, both psychick and materially manifest.
And there's a book I'm desperately looking for, don't know the name of it, but its effect on people who read it seems to have been similar to the fictional King in Yellow.

From the Veil of Thorns album "Salon Apocolypse". "Salon Apocolypse" and "Necrofuturist" were recorded during the same time.
Both albums grew out of the process of working on "The Abattoir Pages" as part of FoolishPeople. The intention was to finish "Salon Apocalypse", as the concept I had been working with for this release was in the same realm that John Harrigan tapped into for "Abattoir Pages". Through countless sleepless nights and days of madness, "Necrofuturist" wrote itself as a further expansion of the studies and current we were working with. I would not have chosen to take on so much in such a short period of time, but I really had no choice in the matter.
"Salon Apocalypse", "Necrofuturist" and "Abattoir Pages" are inextricably linked, through current and source materials, all preparing the ground for "Pleasure", for which all this work is a mere prologue.

Yep, after nearly two years the Small World is back in action.
We just heard an excerpt from The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (http://www.hppodcraft.com), which is actually an excerpt from H.P. Lovecraft’s short story, The Picture in the House.
Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer are the host of the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and we’ll talk with them shortly. But before we talk with Chris and Chad I’m going to very quickly bring you up to speed with what I’ve been up to.
Back in late 2007 the Small World website was hacked. Hacked so badly that I had to nuke the entire database and start from scratch. That really took the wind out of my sails because starting from scratch meant updating the site with 496 shows.
And to be completely honest, I was more than a little burnt out. I had produced nearly 500 shows and the workload was taking it’s tole on me. I had to arrange the interview. do the interviews and then produce three shows a week. And remember, this is a labor of love, not a paying gig.
So when my site was hacked it was the final straw.
Since then I’ve been producing a show called Solipsistic Nation, where I play the best of all genres of electronic music. Along with playing great music I also interview people from the electronic music community: musicians, record labels, festival organizers, etc.
If NPR produced had an electronic music show then it would sound a lot like Solipsistic Nation.
Producing Solipsistic Nation is a lot of fun but I’ve always had that itch ti interview people about things that fascinate me that have nothing to do with electronic music. When Joe Matheny suggested that I archive the Small World on Alterati I thought it would be a perfect time to re-launch the Small World on a twice a month basis, which is a workload I can handle.
You’re probably asking yourself: what the hell is Alterati?
Alterati is like a word that you don’t know the exact definition of but you know what it means. Rather than try to explain Alterati to you right now, we’ll talk to Joseph Matheny, Alterati’s founder, on the next show and have him explain it.
So… let’s get to today’s show.
As I mentioned, our guests are Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer. Chris and Chad produce the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and H.P. Lovecraft was a science fiction slash horror writer who died in 1937.
You may or may not know Lovecraft but his writings have had an amazing impact on popular culture: from movies and comics like Hellboy to bands like Metallica and Black Sabbath. He’s also had a profound impact on writers like Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges and Neil Gaiman.
The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast treats the work of Lovecraft with a deft touch. Each week features excerpts from one of Lovecraft’s stories accompanied with insightful and often hilarious commentary from Chris and Chad.
Today’s incidental music was provided by Veil of Thorns with the track “The Reflection” from their album, Necrofuturist. You can hear more of their Necrofuturistic music at http://www.veilofthorns.com
We’re going to keep with the funnier side of H.P. Lovecraft and close the show with a bit from Smart Bomb Radio with “Cthulhu Is My Co-pilot” and Tom Smith’s “Cthulhu Fthagn.”
It's February and there are two new shows running this month onInner-X-Musick Radio!!! Head on over and check 'em out!
Cassette Culture Radio Show – Armed with the complete Inner-X-Musick cassette catalog… your host TheeBradMiller brings you musick from the cassettes! Every week a new show will be featured focusing on a different aspect of Inner-X-Musick cassettes and the infamous cassette culture.
