Sorry it’s taken me so long to post an update from our man in<\/p>\n

Brussels,\u00a0Arthur Lacomme<\/a>. \u00a0As you’ll recall he and his pals built some\u00a0frikkin’ awesome!<\/strong><\/em> costumes\/instruments\/noisetoys for the Carnaval Sauvage de Bruxelles<\/a>. \u00a0You can see more pics and vid on Arthur’s website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love a lot of things about both this\u00a0Carnaval Sauvage de Bruxelles<\/em> thang and Arthur’s\u00a0contribution to it, bot most of all I love their costumes<\/em>. When I was very little my mother was a docent at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and so my earliest memories are of that\u00a0museum, and especially their collections of Native American and African ritual art and “material culture.” \u00a0I’ve always loved the dance costumes they have in their collection (similar to those shown below, which are in the AIC), and the dances that went with them, which were exuberant and otherworldly to me (much like the sounds that I like to dig out of unsuspecting electronics).<\/p>\n

Arthur also pointed me to a few of his fellow\u00a0Brusselers (Brusselman? Brusselsprouts?)\u00a0<\/em>similarly pushing out into the fringes of the Good Noise. \u00a0I’m loving this!<\/p>\n
