Headlights
Your trip through the looking windshield begins without warning, nibbling conversations halt as your limbic system throws a gasket. Pupils useless, muscles frozen, you're all ears in the moment of your slow mow down. Twin luminaries, Headboggle and Aurora Josephson, welcome you into the cockpit, singing and stroking glass from your fur, whisking you away to wherever the hell we're going next while you lick your nose and try to still your bleeding heart.

Disko Szamanka
In the spirit of sincere inquiry, outfitted with audio equipment, ink and paper, a hard drive full of sound samples painstakingly compiled, with the hope of uncovering what lies behind the metaphysical mechanical stairway, Disko Szamanka walks a path of life inquiry, building an aesthetic, based on an analysis in the hopes of sharing esoteric experience with community. Disko Szamanka is the project of Madeleine Boyne and Theresa Currie, both San Francisco based visual, radio and sound artists.
