We had an amazing time at the Oddities Flea Market in San Diego this weekend! Here are a few photos from meeting Danny Elfman and talking about the project to new friends in line. In the brief time allowed, our founder spoke about this project (new flyers also in the photos) and presented Danny Elfman with a book on Bone Music, a gift inspired from Danny Elfman's recent MRI imagery reel, and a conversation which we began with him on the topic.
About bone music: During the Cold War era, the songs that Soviet citizens could listen to were controlled by the state. But a secret underground subculture of music lovers and bootleggers defied the censors, building recording machines and making their own records of forbidden jazz, rock 'n' roll, and Russian music, cut onto used hospital x-ray film. Amazing! A link to the book is in the bio.
In the bustle, we didn't get the chance to detail how instrumental 😁 and foundational Danny Elfman was to our musical sensibilities and experimentation, but we hope it was wordlessly expressed. Suffice to say our founder's first road trip when getting her driver's license, growing up in Long Beach, was to find Pico and Sepulveda.
