“There’s more than one way to access the infinite.” – Daniel Spicer, The Wire
Coming soon – the DoReMi AntiFA Symphony on ESP-disk (Nov. 3rd)
In the age-old tradition of American anti-fascist art, literature, performance, and cinema,
the DoReMi AntiFA Symphony is a romp through West Coast radicalism in the 80s & 90s.
Thollem conjures a bizarre orchestra to accompany his own anecdotes from the People’s
Park riots, protests at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site (Organized by the Western Shoshone
tribe), Earth First!, Guerrilla Farming, autonomous communities, sustained encampments
at federal buildings, Food Not Bombs! and more. Many Dots are connected and parallels
crossed, adding context to where we are now. History is revolution.
“Thollem is a bruising virtuoso who has deconstructed free music, classical, blues,
electronic music, prog, noise, and everything in between. His music can be playfully
eccentric or ear-splitting and abrasive occasionally at the same time.”
– Brad Cohan, Bandcamp Daily
