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 is all about

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 18:41:00 -0400

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

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

Evil Art Form: 17:14:11

Evil Art Form: 17:14:46

Evil Art Form: 17:14:59

Evil Art Form: 17:20:23

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

Evil Art Form: 17:29:21

Evil Art Form: 17:29:49
classic
GLEN: 17:29:50
classic evil. art. form. at its best
Evil Art Form: 17:30:10

Evil Art Form: 17:39:26

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

GLEN: 17:42:41
HEY EAF REMEMBER WHEN YOU PUNCHED THAT GIRL IN THE FACE?
Evil Art Form: 17:42:49

Evil Art Form: 17:44:11

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

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:47:15 -0500

“Disenchanted” - Diacritical 2007 Such Records. One of the more musically interesting of the Diacritical songs this has a cycling 6/8 rhythm coupled by a fervent choir of chanting as the back drop for a song that expresses the disillusionment of circumstance. We are not all meant to be what we dream but we dream anyway, the journey from ego to self realization is one laden with disappointment, if desire is truly the route of suffering, why do we keep trying, is it pride or something even more? Are we shapers of reality, or bound by circumstance.

Lyrics:
(chanting ” i just don’t give up”)

Right across the street
The air smells sweeter
The vibrant illusion
Of my so called fever
Could I be the beloved
Or the cheap thrill seeker
In this cold reality
The truth is I’m neither

Shove it back inside the package
Return to sender
You’re just average
You’re nothing special
You don’t feel equal
The mood is never tranquil
And it never will be

I’m disenchanted
my foes all vanquished
to end the rampage I spoke another language
no matter how much I cry
the sun will still be there when I wake up
I can’t ensure that I’ll endure another day of feeling this way
This tightened face
It plays charades
I’m being vague
But that’s OK
See, I’m fragile like the moment before you spill your guts
No more eloquence
I just don’t give (a fuck) / up

Though this track is named after an instrument, the sliced and diced sound of the “yang chi’n” or Chinese hammered dulcimer, is not quite apparent at first in this track the jagged and staccato sliced samples pulse with a nature that is completely opposite of the instrument that they originally came from. The layers of flute, dulcimer and rhythm bounce in an abstract dance pattern, Utilizing more breaks and pauses, than flowing flute or dulcimer-like tones. This experiment in sounds and rhythms has evolved this into some type of hybrid Asian-electro-glitch-pop. Somewhere between a quirky cellphone ring tone and the dance floor.

Sarmust - Return to Ambala (Acoustic Demo) 2009

Lyrics:

two lovers held their hands
stretched across a border made by man…
some day i’ll go and see that haunted tree
the one in my grandfather’s havali
the one i never got to see
decades before me they were forced to flee
now generations wander aimlessly
in search of freedoms that they never had
blindfolded by the colours of their separate flags

they call it partition it’s more like separation

we could blame the east india company
tell them how nawabs became their coolies
we could blame tyranny and poverty
unless we forgive, none shall be free

they call it partition it’s more like separation

this story is not mine alone
millions of people can never return home
because home’s a place they’ve never known

they call it partition it’s more like separation

one day punjab will reunite
the holy land will reunite
pashtunistan will reunite
afghanistan will reunite
sindh will reunite
kashmir will reunite
bengal will reunite

return to ambala…

Diacritical - “War Crimes” 2007

I’m not my father

I’m the oracle
the lyrical miracle
I’m filling that hole in my soul
with spiritual spackle
caught in a debacle
smoking wack-o-tobacco
words in a conundrum
over the bass drum
if life was a needle
it’d be stuck in the eye
of the norm of the storm
I cuddle with chaos to stay warm
like love letters with no postage, man
I wandered from land to land with marker in hand
clenched fist could have caused carpel tunnel
all the races in a funnel siphoned out to be the modern man
and they wonder why the world has gone under
because we don’t except we label keeping the balance unstable
like some who concentrate their power to create
a world polluted by corporate clowns turning smiles upside down
little rich girl
never seen her daddy’s world
all the money that he stole all the lives out of control for what, greed, the need to succeed

Disease resides in the mind
Frequently travels through time
And lovers pay for war crimes
The mothers pay for war crimes

I’ll shake the world like an etch-a sketch
And hopefully the rest can catch
My drift
A pivotal moment to deposit there opinion
I’m peeling the layers of an onion
The core is marketed , yes
again in pursuit of capital
the out come being volatile

the stocks in family value are depleted but still the beat’s repeated

so the
message in conceived and hopefully received
with open ears and joy full tears
the truth is no one succeed without failing first
so in a burst of anxious power
I make my rivals cower
and realize that all along they were
incognito, diseased like a mosquito
plaguing there own mind
and walking a thin line between the
dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb….

بلّے بلّےTomb of the Unnamed Bhangra (Rock mix) - Evil Art Form 2009. This song features a classic Pop-Bhangra flavour but with the burn and growl of electric guitar. This remixed version of this song is featured in the Eyesteelfilms documentary about Taqwacore. On an interesting side note, instead of the normal Ektar used in Bhangra a Banjo-uke was used on this recording The original version without guitars is here.

Sarmust - “Machine guns” (acoustic demo) 2009

Lyrics:

You say you know, where evil goes, where evil lies, but i can see it in your eyes, this gangland your land my land stolen, angry babies bellies swollen, who made those guns, who armed the young.

But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.

In the Khyber Pass, where the hippies laughed, and Alexander passed, well now a days the kids they make their guns by hand. Forged in fire not cold war the triggers all implore, you can’t just disregard and then bombard and then ignore.

But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.

There’s a garden in Punjab, bullet holes in the walls, each one is framed, so our children don’t forget but some how i feel regret. Near the Golden Temple they felt free to assemble, anger came in armoured cars, and bodies fell like shooting stars.

History scars, History’s scars
But i do not fear machines guns, i do not hear machine guns i am deaf to all but love.

The Fanaa Fish “Zalim Nafs” (2008) Words by Sultan Bahu. Lo-fi electro-punk, distorted vocals, Punjabi Sufi lyrics:

Allah pardhion hafiz hoion, na giaa hijabon parda hoo. Pardh pardh alim fazil hoion, talib hoion zar daa hoo. Lakh hazaar kitaban pardhian, zalim nafs na marda hoo. Bajh faqeeran koee na maare, eho chor andar daa hoo.

Translation:

You read the name of God and memorized the Qur’an, yet this has still not unveiled the hidden mystery. You read and read and became a scholar, a student of greed. You have read countless books in your life still nothing destroys your cruel ego. None but the faqirs can kill this inner thief.

“Ignorance” is a song against racism and discrimination from Diacritical’s 2007 self titled release. Produced by Don Zientara. Though this is an old song (composed in 1996) it seems to stay relevant. The song is featured in Eyesteelfilms documentary about Taqwacore, and is referenced in a recent Time magazine article Though many people believe the song is a reaction to the recent blossoming bud of islamophobia, the song was meant to be a call against all forms of inequality and intolerance, sexism, racism, homophobia and class-ism included. Anyone who has ever felt the sting of bigotry should understand the words all to well.

Lyrics:

What if I could see you
Would you say to me
All the time
You’ve been so cold
I’ve hid inside
And if words could mend your eyes
I’d scream a thousand times
I’d scream a thousand times
Why do you hate

…and you could hide behind you mask
and raise your hand in wicked rhymes
and hear me scream a thousand times

Why do you hate me

Stop the hate.
