Indians, Cavemen, and Ancient Civilizations: Pop Music's Mythic Past, A Listening Lab
A look at various ways artists have dealt with the past and primordial origins within popular music. The effect is both satirical and earnest in turn, from the Cramps silly fun to the anger of Eugene McDaniels. This listening lab spans notions of historic time in a short sweep starting up in the 20th century. Guests are invited to bring song and sound files, titles, and videos for collective aural enjoyment.

Host Biographies
Raymond Boisjoly is a recent graduate of Emily Carr Institute’s photography program. His recent work addresses the various possibilities of contact as a form of artistic production. These possibilities manifest themselves in very specific responses to a wide range of cultural phenomena from the de-translating of texts to works resisting mediation. An upcoming work negotiates the visual intersection of two cultures, First Nations and Heavy Metal.
