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 talk about who God is and we’ll all be smarter afterwards.’”
— 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

-
Evil Art Form:
16:24:33
-

GLEN:
16:24:45
-

-
GLEN:
16:24:50
-

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
-

-
Evil Art Form:
16:51:10

-
Evil Art Form:
16:51:39
-

-
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
-

GLEN:
16:53:32
-

Evil Art Form:
16:57:41
-

-
Evil Art Form:
16:58:35
