:A Cosmic and Earthly History of Recorded Music According to Mississippi Records: A Film & Talk Presentation"
--Short films by Raw Music International+ DJ set by Golden Wilson (Olvido Records)
--A mix of film, audio, slides and lecture presented by Mississippi Records founder Eric Isaacson.
This presentation attempts to tell the entire history of recorded music in 90 minutes — from the first star being born to the current age of bizarre technology. Subjects covered will include the cosmic patterns that resemble music generated by stars being born and dying, the untold early history of recording technology, the rise of blues, rock and roll, and other revolutionary American music forms and their subsequent destruction by the powers that be, and some hopeful messages about the future.
Portland, Ore.-based label Mississippi Records has released over 240 records spanning nearly every genre of music, run a store for 15 years, and traveled the world with presentations such as this one. All of this has been done with no online presence, no promotion or advertising of any kind anywhere and no general existence in the digital world.
Also featured will be a series of short films by Cyrus Moussavi (Raw Music International), including incredible performances from musicians in Mongolia, Burma, Iraq, Ukraine, Trinidad, Turkey, Kenya, Cambodia, Thailand, Zanzibar and Western.
