Gardens for the Lush by Omar Waqar →
rockistani:
Omar Waqar, musician, teacher, slave and student has recently had his book of poetry pressed, titled “Gardens for the Lush”. A slender book put out by lulu press, it begins with a couplet…
“I don’t want my music to say, ‘This is who God is.’ I want it to say, ‘Let’s...”
– Omar Waqar (via lionsroar)
COVERS - It’s Not Just Another Music Magazine →
taralannenstanton:
Great article on “taqwacore” with a somewhat unfortunate title. Interesting that Omar Waqar complains about any foreign music being fit into “world” music but all the bands & people in “taqwacore” are being lumped into Middle East in the title. Overall, it’s an excellent article though

EAF is chatting with Glen about what Evil Art Form...
Evil Art Form: 16:24:33
hey man
GLEN: 16:24:45
hey girl
GLEN: 16:24:50
i mean man
GLEN: 16:24:55
i mean girl
Evil Art Form: 16:25:17
yeah no one knows who evil art form is
Evil Art Form: 16:25:24
mysterious
GLEN: 16:25:39
I'm guessing you are a hot chick..
Evil Art Form: 16:25:53
whatever you like...
GLEN: 16:26:49
so its been three years since you last came out with anything for EVILARTFORM..
Evil Art Form: 16:27:01
I thought you were the best person to discuss EAF with since you have been around since the beginning
GLEN: 16:27:02
what are you up to now?
Evil Art Form: 16:27:16
yeah i have put out a few singles but no large body of work in a while
Evil Art Form: 16:27:37
i did a bhangra track called tomb of the unnamed bhangra
Evil Art Form: 16:28:18
i have been busy plotting my mission to assassinate Osama
GLEN: 16:28:27
and for those who are just new to this where can we find your material.
GLEN: 16:28:30
?
Evil Art Form: 16:28:36
so not to much time for he boom tick tick music
GLEN: 16:28:56
haha
Evil Art Form: 16:29:06
you can get it on i tunes, purevolume, such records. amazon, its all over the net
GLEN: 16:31:20
sorry about that my connection is shitty
GLEN: 16:31:58
why don't you charge people for your music?
Evil Art Form: 16:32:46
i do sometimes, but most of the early EAF stuff i did as experiments, so i thought i'd just put it out and see what happened
Evil Art Form: 16:33:21
music is not a commodity
Evil Art Form: 16:33:47
it is a necessity, i mean, artists should be taken care of
Evil Art Form: 16:33:57
but i'm no capitalist
Evil Art Form: 16:34:13
i just wanna dance!
GLEN: 16:34:24
so do i
GLEN: 16:34:30
(dance)
Evil Art Form: 16:34:32
(dance)
(By the way glen is a famous painter and electronic music buff so... yeah, thats the 411)
GLEN: 16:35:13
why are you called "evil art form"?
Evil Art Form: 16:36:07
well the name evil art form started as my graffiti name i use to write it on walls as a ironic joke about art being a crime
Evil Art Form: 16:36:36
but then it evolved into a statement about music and religious conservatism against music.
Evil Art Form: 16:36:54
basically i call my own stuff evil before they can
Evil Art Form: 16:37:10
societies have all kinds of stupid taboos
Evil Art Form: 16:37:25
but art should definitely not be one of them
GLEN: 16:37:55
basically a fat kid making fun of her/himself before others do it. kind of like a defense mechanism.
Evil Art Form: 16:38:10
yeah...lol
Evil Art Form: 16:38:22
i'm a hot fat chick
GLEN: 16:38:35
id totally bang you
Evil Art Form: 16:38:46
...akward...
GLEN: 16:38:49
ahhahaha
GLEN: 16:38:51
ok...
GLEN: 16:39:23
what new material are you working on currently...since the hiatus?
Evil Art Form: 16:40:02
i am exploring more breaks and house and even more organic sounds, the older stuff was more hip hop influenced
Evil Art Form: 16:40:15
oh, i also put out a 40min meditation mix
Evil Art Form: 16:40:41
one track that slowly builds one epic chord gradually over 40 min
Evil Art Form: 16:41:10
the idea was to use it for music therapy, i tried it out is works, super relaxing, align your chakra
Evil Art Form: 16:42:07
i think i'm going to release it
GLEN: 16:42:23
so you are exploring more of an organic sound and other genres of electronica? would you say that you are solely a electronic artist
Evil Art Form: 16:43:10
no i have always added live instruments to my stuff on top of the beat making and sampling
Evil Art Form: 16:44:21
like the track “veeeena“ is all samples and slices
Evil Art Form: 16:44:58
but the bhangra track has many live instruments guitars banjo-uke and stuff
Evil Art Form: 16:46:27
i have been talking about re-releasing all those old mp3s as an anthology, but they are pretty lo-fi all i have is mp3s all my masters were destroyed
Evil Art Form: 16:47:25
some of the really whacky stuff like "jumping rope in hell" and that “underwater bootyhouse” song never really got any exposure.
GLEN: 16:47:42
how unfortunate...
Evil Art Form: 16:47:49
i kinda think of the old stuff like a 80 song demo... lol
Evil Art Form: 16:48:07
it's out there i just want to make new stuff now
GLEN: 16:49:05
can you still salvage the old stuff? and kind of slice and dice the track up? or no?
Evil Art Form: 16:49:25
like do remixes and sample my own stuff
GLEN: 16:49:32
yeah
Evil Art Form: 16:49:38
i could why not that would be interesting
Evil Art Form: 16:50:11
i am definitely going to start cranking out more EAF stuff i want to do like an album a year
Evil Art Form: 16:50:26
i need to start using decks
Evil Art Form: 16:50:34
like a proper DJ
Evil Art Form: 16:51:10
Miskut showed me this documentary on the amen break
GLEN: 16:51:23
who's miskut?
Evil Art Form: 16:51:27
lol
GLEN: 16:51:31
lol
Evil Art Form: 16:51:37
shout outs
Evil Art Form: 16:51:39
anyway
Evil Art Form: 16:51:52
the whole culture of sampling breaks from old songs
Evil Art Form: 16:52:27
i want to get into that, most of my stuff i make all the beats from scratch and sample a lot of melodic stuff and play over it
Evil Art Form: 16:52:56
i also want to start performing more
Evil Art Form: 16:53:02
take EAF to the clubs
Evil Art Form: 16:53:07
see what happens
Evil Art Form: 16:53:27
i get gig offers but everyone thinks Evil Art Form is a group of people.
GLEN: 16:53:32
tell me about your fans.. what kind of responses are you getting?
Evil Art Form: 16:53:53
I started this project as kinda a joke
Evil Art Form: 16:54:05
i was just f**king around with computer music
Evil Art Form: 16:54:12
but once i put it on the net
Evil Art Form: 16:54:16
i got huge response
Evil Art Form: 16:54:24
people all over the world email me about it
Evil Art Form: 16:55:10
kats in japan and europe
Evil Art Form: 16:55:33
i find Evil Art Form on random electronic mix torrents
GLEN: 16:55:46
wow
GLEN: 16:55:50
haha
Evil Art Form: 16:56:03
crazy for some DIY crap i made in my room
Evil Art Form: 16:56:15
with my crappy eMachines computer
Evil Art Form: 16:56:18
lol
Evil Art Form: 16:56:27
that thing was a piece of junk
GLEN: 16:56:52
where do you see EAF progressing to?
Evil Art Form: 16:57:41
honestly i think it will be around for a while i am planning on scoring films and doing background music and may be even throwing some parties
Evil Art Form: 16:58:35
my old stuff kinda sounded like orientalist cartoon jungle
Evil Art Form: 16:59:01
i want to experiment even more
Evil Art Form: 16:59:22
i'll make music with a toaster and a Wii
Evil Art Form: 17:00:39
i want to make music that makes candy raver's heads explode
Evil Art Form: 17:01:00
just like a really hi frequency and stupidly fast four beat
Evil Art Form: 17:01:07
at like 400bpm
Evil Art Form: 17:01:22
lol
Evil Art Form: 17:01:33
RRRRRRRRRRRRR wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Evil Art Form: 17:02:45
pop pop and just candy all over the ground
Evil Art Form: 17:03:01
bad boy bill is crying
GLEN: 17:03:11
ok.
Evil Art Form: 17:03:14
lol
GLEN: 17:03:43
why do you conceal your identity?
Evil Art Form: 17:04:56
i still have people who want to hurt me for pouring pigs blood on them at Club Love in DC
Evil Art Form: 17:05:23
plus I'm a spy
Evil Art Form: 17:06:15
genital piercing = dick chainy
GLEN: 17:06:39
sorry my connection is faulty
Evil Art Form: 17:07:02
no sweat
GLEN: 17:07:39
no sweat on your prince charles
GLEN: 17:08:59
is there anything else you'd like to talk about or maybe a shameless plug perhaps? maybe a "shout out"?
Evil Art Form: 17:09:25
well i have been getting love from some cool people
GLEN: 17:10:03
make it out to "pookie and booboo?"
Evil Art Form: 17:10:10
i made beats for some local DC emcees like dave el hip-hop junkie, i think he is calling himself Watusi now
Evil Art Form: 17:10:50
and Tamu also, i made some stuff for flex mathews but he didn't use it.
GLEN: 17:11:42
so you are willing to collaborate?
Evil Art Form: 17:11:53
also evil art form was featured on brooklyn college radio for like a whole season The Public Thinktank
Evil Art Form: 17:13:04
yo man i heard an arabic pop sound with auto-tune on it
Evil Art Form: 17:13:07
wtf, man
Evil Art Form: 17:13:25
yeah i collaborate with a lot of people
GLEN: 17:13:51
have you slept with them also? since you are a hot fat chick?
Evil Art Form: 17:14:11
most of early stuff was all about emcees,
Evil Art Form: 17:14:46

Evil Art Form: 17:14:59
Miskut the avatar
GLEN: 17:15:10

what is your influence in your music?
Evil Art Form: 17:19:49
evil art form is all insomnia and coffee
Evil Art Form: 17:20:08
i think i started making electronic music to prove to that one blue haired kid how stupid it was
Evil Art Form: 17:20:23
the one who was always high on Dextromethorphan
GLEN: 17:20:56
i know who you are talking about...that square kid right?
Evil Art Form: 17:21:02

Evil Art Form: 17:22:48

Evil Art Form: 17:22:52
lol
Evil Art Form: 17:23:10
didn't you do a bunch of design work for evil art form
Evil Art Form: 17:23:53
and you named the record “mablis”
GLEN: 17:24:01
but i was on drugs..
GLEN: 17:24:05
that doesn't count
Evil Art Form: 17:24:08

GLEN: 17:24:11
no
Evil Art Form: 17:24:15
i never knew
Evil Art Form: 17:24:31
oh i'm falling into the sarcasm
Evil Art Form: 17:24:36
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Evil Art Form: 17:25:02
i would say you also influenced me to make evil art form as well
Evil Art Form: 17:25:15
you knew much more about electronic music than i did
Evil Art Form: 17:25:31
you got me into Jungle and DnB
Evil Art Form: 17:25:37
i was more into hip hop
Evil Art Form: 17:27:32
and then i got into the whole raga jungle and tabla thing by accident
GLEN: 17:28:14
i never did "e".... so I did appreciate and study the music and its elements. you actually listened to me when we'd drink coffee and stay up all night..... hey remember that one track with the one chick....EEREREWEWEWEWEWEW REWERERWRWRERW..?
Evil Art Form: 17:28:32
hahahahahah
Evil Art Form: 17:29:21
oh man, i took this song that this girl recorded with us and reversed her voice and put a beat to it and it sounded like sloth from goonies put out a record
Evil Art Form: 17:29:49
classic
GLEN: 17:29:50
classic evil. art. form. at its best
Evil Art Form: 17:30:10
remember everyone kept telling me to try and get my music on cartoon network
Evil Art Form: 17:30:23
and i sent them like 20 demos
Evil Art Form: 17:30:29
and they never called me
GLEN: 17:30:30
"Jump Rope In Hell".
Evil Art Form: 17:30:32
bastards!
GLEN: 17:30:38
f**k them. you don't need them.
Evil Art Form: 17:30:46
i still love cartoons
Evil Art Form: 17:31:00
just not the cartoon system of control!
Evil Art Form: 17:31:07
free toon-town!
GLEN: 17:31:43
will you have an Evil Art Form music video mixed with cartoons?
Evil Art Form: 17:31:59
i had that one song where i sampled Jagjit Singh and he was all like aaah...ahhhh...aaaaah
GLEN: 17:32:07
hahaha
GLEN: 17:32:18
frigin awesome
Evil Art Form: 17:32:55
the one track that i sampled the blue opera chick from the fifth element was pretty dope also
Evil Art Form: 17:33:10
i never cleared that one...oops don't sue me
GLEN: 17:33:35
i don't think they will i don't think you ever released it
Evil Art Form: 17:33:45
yeah it leaked though
GLEN: 17:33:51
haha
Evil Art Form: 17:33:52
some emcee was using it
Evil Art Form: 17:33:57
i forgot his name
Evil Art Form: 17:34:05
probably for the best
GLEN: 17:34:12
Tamu?
Evil Art Form: 17:34:19

GLEN: 17:34:21

Evil Art Form: 17:37:23

Evil Art Form: 17:38:15

Evil Art Form: 17:38:20

Evil Art Form: 17:38:36
i wanna work with some conscious hipty hop
Evil Art Form: 17:39:14
otherwise i think i'm gonna start doing stuff with female vocalists
GLEN: 17:39:18
that's what's lacking nowadays.. conscious hip-hop...
Evil Art Form: 17:39:26
its out there
Evil Art Form: 17:39:33
just in the underground
GLEN: 17:39:56
and the whack R&B/rap scenario....all day in the radio...they don't hear me tho...
Evil Art Form: 17:40:07
that guy selling CDs in time square could be the next big thing
Evil Art Form: 17:40:24
I would love to work with Dead Prez
Evil Art Form: 17:40:46
that one beat is the best thing Kanye ever did
GLEN: 17:41:11
aside from being a douche bag in the VMAs?
Evil Art Form: 17:41:26
lets not turn this into something about Kanye
Evil Art Form: 17:41:30
he gets enough press
GLEN: 17:41:32
hahahahhahahahha
Evil Art Form: 17:41:42
that was all staged anyway
GLEN: 17:41:48
probably.
Evil Art Form: 17:41:56
they did that to bolster that blonde country girls record sales
Evil Art Form: 17:42:04
oldest trick in the book
Evil Art Form: 17:42:17
just like war over weapons of mass destruction that don't exist
Evil Art Form: 17:42:38
you know they found huge lithium deposits is afghanistan
GLEN: 17:42:41
HEY EAF REMEMBER WHEN YOU PUNCHED THAT GIRL IN THE FACE?
Evil Art Form: 17:42:49
war is always about resources man
Evil Art Form: 17:43:02
what are you talking about?
Evil Art Form: 17:43:10
i admit to no such thing
GLEN: 17:43:13
shhhh... I'm hyping you up...
GLEN: 17:43:22
;)
Evil Art Form: 17:43:27
oh is this gonna be like a Tupac/Biggie thing
GLEN: 17:43:32
yeah..
Evil Art Form: 17:43:35
between me and aria silenced?
Evil Art Form: 17:43:43
yeah? Canada Ain't got no love
Evil Art Form: 17:43:59
for EAF row?
Evil Art Form: 17:44:08
we know where we at
GLEN: 17:44:10
remember when they took that shot of your crotch when you were going out of that car door? and that nipple slip?
Evil Art Form: 17:44:11
let it be known
Evil Art Form: 17:44:40
i would like to clear up that my nipple slip was not a publicity stunt
Evil Art Form: 17:44:45
it was a real accident
Evil Art Form: 17:45:01
i would appreciate the paparazzi not bothering me when i am at the masjid
GLEN: 17:45:09
hahahhahahhahhaha
GLEN: 17:45:30
omg. this THE worst interview... or the most brilliant...
Evil Art Form: 17:45:43
we gotta own the media
GLEN: 17:45:55
no comment.
Evil Art Form: 17:45:56
take it away from those who lie
Evil Art Form: 17:46:09
and make up our own lies
Evil Art Form: 17:46:44
after I did the third season of whale wars brad pitt told me that I would be a success
GLEN: 17:46:53
hahahhahhahaha
Evil Art Form: 17:47:13
but then him and brangalanaaniae broke up
Evil Art Form: 17:47:23
it was a sad day for hollywood
Evil Art Form: 17:47:50
and Hrithik Roshan is the worst actor on the planet
Evil Art Form: 17:48:11
him and T-Pain and A.R. Rahman need to all be launched into the sun
GLEN: 17:48:28
ditto, i second that
Evil Art Form: 17:48:31
and while they are frying i'll sing Jai Ho!
Evil Art Form: 17:48:38
with auto tune
GLEN: 17:48:50
sweet buttah peas!
Evil Art Form: 17:49:07
so may be we should wrap this up
Evil Art Form: 17:49:22
its been good discussing stuff with you
Evil Art Form: 17:49:46
you are truly the Banksy of the airbrush world
GLEN: 17:50:38
you are a guru of your own masterful evil arts and my hero.
Evil Art Form: 17:50:53
Peace be with you brother
GLEN: 17:51:04
peace in the middle east
Evil Art Form: 17:51:11
