Mark Spiewak, PEARLCOPPER

We receive Avant Garde musician and artist Mark Spiewak of PEARLCOPPER. Hi and welcome to the ezine, hope you are well?

God, I just came back from different planet and found all this shit on this planet.

You are introducing a performance Classic Rock presentation, Tell us a bit about it?

"Kantor..." is of performing arts/Classic Rock show project. Make it long story short, Kantor comes back to Earth after nuclear holocaust on diffent planet...He tells a story of human life at various times and how humanity saved themselves from extinction...by going in deep ocean than space colonization. Yes, yes, yes, it's hot.

The whole concept of sea bottom dwellings has been covered in classical science fiction literature, however you seem to have taken it further. Can you Briefly explain your vision?

Most science fiction stories are actually a joke. There is nothing wrong with this kind of books. People need this kind of fantasy. It also matters who the reader is.
Science fiction books are of fantasy and imagination that have nothing to do with Futurism, and therefore with "Kantor..." production.
Kantor with help of Rex, first real Artificial Intelligence, designs perfect underwater city as a quest of human survival from extinction.
Story of sea dwellings and deep space colonization I'm writing in "Kantor..." project is about escape of humans from extinction by going deep in ocean to avoid UV radiation as our Ozone layer will vanish. Then, humans will take on deep space colonization which is pretty much mythological and therefore universal fact. As we are humans, we are animals destroying each other.
Kantor is the only survival who comes back to Mother Earth after nuclear holocaust on different planet and tells a story of humankind survival of times not remembered on Earth anymore.

The Classic Rock music is a departure from your usual musical stylings is it a return to source or because it is more suitable for the vision of "Kantor"?

Rock music has always been my life. Classic Rock has been a core for my music with influences from Classical, Hardcore and Metal music. Most of my Classic Rock music is accoustic driven 'cause I owned a great travellers guitar I bought for $8 at Savers in USA. That's a good fucking deal.
Electric guitar, keyboards, drums and vocals are essencial part of my Rock or Classic Rock music which is actually hard driven.
The greatest hits of Rock'n Roll in common like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Bohemian Raphsody" are 'classified' as Hard Rock or Metal songs or masterpieces...
but actually, they are Classic Rock songs. Maybe we can make joke here of a chimp masturbating in a cage at worldwide zoo. ha ha ha

When can we expect an opening performance of Kantor?

I'm still looking for and negociate great venues to stage "Kantor..." in both public and Underground places. Part of "Kantor..." I'm constantly performing in various poetry slams and radio shows or underground.

How is your previous cd FISHERsLANDS going?

FISHERsLANDS album is not finished. I'm still seeking master recording contract. Moreover, that great album of which 'Prophets Wizard' is part of, was ceased by production of "Kantor..." project which is more related to present world and socio-political issues and problems. "Kantor..." is also subsequent project to FISHERsLANDS album. Anthology of works, cassette and chapbook, will be available for purchase this Spring, probably in March. Everyone's welcome to buy it for only $6 at www.up.to/kantor .

What is for you the hardest part of creating?

Lack of funds and open-minded people. Most folks are boring and some kind of communist or censorship shit. There is a lot of support and nice buzz about "Kantor..." already.

I want to thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

You're welcome, anytime.

Any parting words for our listeners?

Yeah, sure. Stay open-minded and don't let them bite you out. My 'Prophets Wizard' song is made in this name. I wrote it for my Mama and all my good lovers and friends. Rest of you can go fuck yourself.
So tell everybody that those shit-eaters living in clouds think they are important and have power over everyone.
Fuck Bush, fuck cops and FBI. I lost my faith in this country, for simple issue of national security for example, in this promised land. On the other hand, they are full of shit and et cetera. ha ha ha
