Huge and Lucas:

Huge and Lucas are a fuzzy mountainside porchlight flickering through a locust haze, hermanitos de alma, five hundred spoonfuls of poppy seeds, a matchbox containing suggestions for another impossible world. Frogs who love street performance and who believe that belief is strange and that community is the only lilly pad. Les gusta mucho comer maduros – enteros, aplastados, con huevos fritos, con la dignidad de una garza dentro de un río gigantesco, silbando sin rencor. Aspiring masters of no-one and nothing with dreams of fish and total poetic liberation. If life is absurd why not say so? It’s all coming out now!

Tommy Becker:

BIO

A poet trapped in a camcorder, Becker continues to feed his video, music and poems into his never-ending saga, “TAPE NUMBER ONE”.

His work has been shared at Bay Area Now 4 at the Yerba Buena Center for The Arts, Freewaves’ 10th Biennial Film, Video & New Media Art Festival, Los Angeles; White Columns, New York; Ann Arbor FF; Chicago Underground FF; Currents New Media FF; Perth International FF and Black Maria FF.

Since 2004, he’s worked as an arts educator in the Bay Area.

STATEMENT

Video, Music and Text: written, recorded, edited and performed by Tommy Becker. Since 2001, Tape Number One has been rethinking the relationship of music and cinema in its development of investigative visual music. Blending elements of the rock opera and documentary filmmaking, the tape’s themed visual investigations are driven by melodic soundtracks interspersed with spoken word and found dialogue. Championing content over form, the tape embraces a hybridized form of research that blends poetics, songwriting and performance with found footage, animation and design.

Henry Vick:

Henry has been a performer and a writer in the city for a long time. He’s done a lot and had varying forms of success but he’s old and past his prime. One day there was a tropical storm, uncommon for the area but nevertheless realistic and obvious. It was on such a rainy and windy night, among the chattering tropical insects recently transported up the eastern seaboard, the Windbag was born. It was through the Windbag, Henry thought, that finally his dreams and visions would finally be realized. The Windbag performs daily comedy shows on Twitch.tv/The_windbag and he salutes you.
