MICHAEL MUSIKA'S CHRONOLOGICAL DOCUMENTATION OF CREATION THROUGH WRITING, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND PERFORMANCE ON VIDEO.

JOURNAL

EVERY TIME WE MAKE A WORK OF ART WE PUT A DOCUMENT OF IT HERE IN THIS JOURNAL FOR A JAPANESE DOCUMENTARIAN FILM MAKER SO THEY CAN MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THIS ARTIST IN THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE THEN WE CAN GO TO JAPAN, HOPEFULLY NOT SO LATE IN LIFE THAT IS A CRUEL IRONY.  MOST PEOPLE BESIDES JAPANESE PEOPLE EVER GET TO GO TO JAPAN. WE UNDERSTAND, BUT WE GENUINELY WANT TO GO TO SEE THE COUNTRY AND OUR FRIEND NOBU.


 

FALL RISING FESTIVAL. MURPHYS, CALIFORNIA

This was a small mining town a long time ago, and now it was a place where they had a music festival.  We played, as did the bands of our friends, including Ash Reiter, The Blank Tapes, and Sparrows Gate. A thunderstorm came during our set and I jumped in the river so the locals would enjoy the memories. My overall life was out of control. I see that now that I am more clear minded. Ross took a good picture. Tom and Jen ghosted and are my heroes. I'm grateful for the unconditional love of my friends, and to whatever other worldly sources fended off disaster, because there was a fire and troubles in the cold damp, night.
