But... That's Impossible! - Episode 4: Dreamland's Big Circus.

EP4 illustration by Amy Leonard.

This week, Amy and Anton trace the thread of Rock and Roll spirit presented in Guy Peellaert and Nik Cohn's 1973 art book: ROCK DREAMS. 
Under the boardwalk, crushes and daydreams become mythological. The outlines of rock stars become constellations by which to navigate. We consider the manifestation of images outside of intention. We set an angel free from a block of marble. We hearken unto the school girls in black leather, harbingers of trauma. We tear our hearts out and lay down in the road. Immersed in a glamorous uniform of imagery, skinny white sailor with chances so slender and dirty as a dustbin lid, we wonder if you knew we danced ourselves out of the womb?

We include a few of the beautiful images made by Guy Peellaert that we consider and discuss in Episode 4.

This Rough Magic - A Tempestuous Happening at the Brighton Millenium

Polly Wiseman and Anton Binder


 


From 1995 - 2001 I was artistic director alongside Polly Wiseman of Fireraisers Theatre Company. In August 2000 Fireraisers produced an amazing epic show on Brighton beach. Part site specific performance, part shamanic chaos magick ritual, part situationist prank. It was designed to inaugurate the millenium for Brighton. Here, at long last, is the restored video of that unique night. It begins with the construction of the beach set, sped up to show the ingenuity of the concept. There follows a record of the once in a lifetime production which features helicopter sky divers, shipwrecked mariners, a pagan wedding attended by spirits of earth and fire, mermaids and Rock n Roll devil dogs. This is followed by a 'making of' documentary that spills the backstage beans on this extraordinary event.

Episode Three. Ex Nihilo.
Amy and Anton create something from nothing. Dwelling on Grant Morrison. Unpacking The Invisibles. Embracing Chaos. Charging a sigil with absolute terror. Getting abducted in Kathmandu. The entirety of time being experienced at once. The illusion of sequence. Being peeled off of three dimensions. Fiction suits for the reality traveller. Living in an alternate future. It came to me in a dream. You are sleeping. You do not want to believe.

But... That's Impossible! - Episode 1: Is There Anybody There?

At last! Here is Episode 1 of But... That's Impossible! A podcast following the threads of the peculiar wherever they show through. Available on PodBean to stream and download.



Brought to you by Amy and Anton. We discuss science and magick and the apocalypse, with a neat biography of rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons and a (suitably) chaotic meander on and away from the chaos magician Peter J. Carroll. We consider a meet and greet with Aleister Crowley at the North Pole. UFO's flown by fairies, rocketry, the ascension of dolls, the manifesto of the anti-christ, occult objects which may or may not be buried in moondust, a bar-mitzvah to call the worm, and the octopodes of Vatican City. But... That's Impossible!
