lichen : synthesizers – g.singlaub : effected guitars – d.hopkins : video
recorded and filmed in acme records studios – produced by g.singlaub for acme records
“Spanning over one hour, the improvisations explore droney ambient spaces and follow groovy downtempos with video that serenely celebrates both the in-studio recording and beauty of the cannabis plant. Contemplative, uplifting and slightly psychedelic, the sonic triptych embraces and intrigues…much like the effects of a fresh terpene laden bud of indica dominant hybrid cannabis.”
“We think of friends and brothers who were labeled as criminals until they died because of the anti-scientific and racist prohibition of cannabis, but we also celebrate the instance of the creation of a law in Illinois that allows humans to use cannabis; even though that law itself interpolates Illinois’ criminal cannabis statutes rather than abolishing them. Cannabis is healing – and humans need healing.” – g.singlaub, founder of acme arts collectivefrom a review of the green leaves sonic triptych by patrick devlin of the demise
