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.


 

Recording in NC (Gallery)

In early August of 2015 I left San Francisco for an indefinite amount of time. My first stop was Chapel Hill, North Carolina where I recorded the basic tracks for a new record with my friend Eric Kuhn. I stayed in the house with him and his girlfriend Erica. We had fun. 

Eric had a journal with notes he took in the studio on what we should do with the songs. He would never let me see it. So when he would go into the chamber to record sometimes he would forget to bring it with him.  I drew pictures of skeletons with tits on post it notes and hid them throughout his journal. This is a compilation of the best of that work.
