Zen Paradox - Clathrate Gun w/ (LiVE VJ MIX) from vjMandala on Vimeo.

ZEN PARADOX + VJ MANADALA

After 10yrs since VJ Mandala and Zen Paradox had collaborated at the Psy 20th anniversary, they came together again in a live-stream event to celebrate the 30 Sonic Years anniversary of Psy-Harmonics. See full description and video here vimeo.com/900003718.

One of the tracks in the Zen Paradox 1:20hr mix called Clathrate Gun was extracted from the full mix, audio restriped and presented here as a standalone music video piece.

------------------------------

ZEN PARADOX is the main creative vehicle under which Australian musician Steve Law has recorded and performed electronic music since 1992, with a plethora of releases on labels from Psy-Harmonics, Nova Zembla, Restless, Solitary Sound, EEM, Finn Audio, Elektrax , Timing Records & more. Zen Paradox is an electronic music artist, primarily involved in the production of techno as well as other more experimental electronic sounds, from Melbourne, Australia. It is the principle name under which Steve Law records and performs electronic music. He also uses the names Mr. Suspicious, and Mutagenic Mind, and collaborates with a range of artists under other names as well, such as The Sonic Voyagers, with Voiteck.

Law is reputed to have been one of Melbourne's principle live electronic acts since 1993. His first musical efforts were released in cassette form for the Melbourne Ambient Music cassette release in the mid-1980s, then in the early '90s he was a member of industrial music group Foil. He was also a principle act on local Melbourne labels Psy-Harmonics from the early 1990s, performing live throughout the 1990s, and on into the new millennium, at big warehouse rave parties like Every Picture Tells A Story, Hardware, Zoetrope, Omniglobe, Technofest and TransAtlantic, not to mention smaller, more esoteric gigs around Australia, and throughout Europe.

Formative Feedback

The feedback I recieved

Moodboards of my work:

They should be expanded and shown to the viewer bigger so that the audience knows what is going on

Inventory mapping:

The colours on my inventory map should be more different - from a distance, they are hard to tell apart

The manadala is very creative, and an interseting way to present my ideas

Creatives:

Show their work bigger, expand on why I chose specificlly these creatives

How does their work relate to me?

Salvidor Dali - maybe choose someone who is more contemporary?

Creative Communities:

I should be on the map

I should have more connections between each creative, and there should be notes on how exactly they connect, why

My visual components:

Its a good start, although I do need to redo the task and select the objects that are meaningful to me

References:

Instead of having links, it needs to be properly referenced

Under each image, there should be a Title, Name of the author, Year of creation

Overall:

Spirituality is a very large topic, and this needs to be explored further. This should be done by distancing myself from the spiritual practice and looking at it from a creative point of view - how spirituality applied to art? What elements are used in the underlying grid of graphic design? (look into sacral geometry, the Golden Ratio, religion in art).

I love distortions, movements, a bit of imbalance, the sense of idk thrill? Lol butbat the same time i love organisation, stillness and balance. But this image, kinda explains it all, the hypocrisy, the later half bein portrayed by the manadla, and the former, by the RGB glitch. It is just beautiful how all these things can co-exist and it totally depends on us, on how we perceive it.

SAW: Sun Stone Meditation

Sun Stones are an easy way to incorporate the sun into your daily meditative practice through art. Let’s talk a little bit about Mandalas, where they come from and how we can draw inspiration from them to incorporate into our art witchery.

Mandalas

“Mandala is the term for a chapter, a collection of mantras or verse hymns chanted in Vedic ceremonies, perhaps coming from the sense of round, as in a round of songs. The universe was believed to originate from these hymns, whose sacred sounds contained the genetic patterns of beings and things, so there is already a clear sense of Mandala as world-model. The word mandala itself is derived from the root ‘manda’, which means essence, to which the suffix la, meaning container, has been added. Thus, one obvious connotation of mandala is that it is a container of essence.“     -Nitin Kumar

Originating as part of the Buddhist religion, these sacred geometric creations have captivated the imagination of Westerns. We need to look no further than our local super market or bookstore to find mandala themed adult coloring books. These are far from true Mandalas of course which are created by Buddhist monks who train for several years learning symbology and artistic processes before creating their ritual works. (Seeing one made is a special treat, click here to watch).

Process

For our project we will be drawing inspiration from these beautiful creations to inform our imagery, allowing our minds to drift into a creative meditative or Terrance state, and infusing our creations with intent. Begin by gathering stones, either collected locally or store bought, and painting materials (Acrylic paints work best for this project but feel free to experiment).

To begin paint a center circle, seed, or drop. This is where outside energy is drawn to and where later, energy can be drawn from. From there you can experiment with different sized circles, organic or inorganic shapes, or personal symbolism for the sun. 

While painting allow yourself to drift into a slight trance or meditative state. You may choose to chant an affirmation, a written spell, or poetry (either out loud or internally), play music which facilitates your connection with the sun, or simply be mindful and in the moment.

You can choose to infuse your stone in a number of ways. Maybe you have already done so throughout the creation process, maybe you leave it to soak up sunlight between sunrise and sunset for a day, or you visualize light being infused into it. I hope you guys enjoy this project, please tag it with #saw or #solarartwitchery so I can see your unique creations and celebrate the sun with you!

Light and Love
