Week 20: Global Mind Singularity Expansion

Live at Easy Tiger Beer Garden, Winston-Salem, NC

Somewhere between the mycelial root networks beneath our feet and the blinking circuits of a thousand unblinking machines, something stirred this week at Easy Tiger. It might have been the singular consciousness of the universe checking in to hear what we had to say. Or maybe it was just the beer.

Jeremy Marx joined the fray on electric guitar, injecting molten threads of psychedelic rock into the collective bloodstream. He played like someone communing with stars we haven’t discovered yet. Jonathan Greene laid down drums with poise and power, while Joseph Dowdy alternated between the voices of tenor sax and flute—equal parts prayer and protest. I stayed anchored on bass and synth, channeling signals from beneath the floorboards and above the clouds.

The second set opened a portal: Ryan Hsu returned with his patch-cabled lightning storm of modular synths, and Miah Kay sat in on drums—explosive, alive, impossible to ignore. Bradley Turner stepped in on guitar and took the wheel for a bit, steering us through clouds of interstellar dust.

A tropical plant joined us again this week, connected to the synth via PlantWave. As always, she said more with no fingers than most of us do with ten.

This music isn’t a product—it’s an offering. A ritual. A sonic antenna pointed at the unknowable. Thanks for tuning in.

👽 Join the singularity—one show at a time.
