By his : :' hands alone, one line, sound, shape or word leads organically ': ,: to the next. In 2011, he wanted to score a science fiction film, :, : so he started making one. The first episode of his animated : :' feature, Translated Log of Inhabitants, should be released this ': ,: year, with a fully illustrated D&D-esque compendium of 150 :, : associated characters. : :' ': ,: Shrink Dust, his fifth full-length album under his own name, is :, : partially a score to this film, but itÆs alsoùin ChadÆs viewùa : :' country record. ': ,: :, : Always a fan of esoteric instruments, Chad recently acquired an : :' aluminum pedal steel guitar, and began trying to figure out how ': ,: to play it: ôIt took me a month to set it up, and a year to be :, : comfortable recording myself playing this thing.ö His : :' experiments with this instrument unify the album, along with ': ,: themes of death, transformation, fear, benign evil, and the :, : eccentricity of love. A newfound affection for The Flying : :' Burrito Brothers, and the sci-fi mysticism of the 1980s graphic ': ,: novel The Incal by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius, were also :, : significant in recent years. : :' ': ,: Somehow, with all of its disparate influences and components, :, : Shrink Dust might be one of the most accessible moments in CVGÆs : :' creative life, simply because it is more apparent than ever how ': ,: much fun he is having blurring the lines between the vivid :, : worlds of his creation, and the world his audience inhabits. For : :' those who are open to it, ChadÆs adventures in music and art ': ,: illuminate a path that is more colorful, playful, and :, : sustainable than those commonly available to us. A path that is, : :' most importantly, always changeable. ': ,: :, : You can see and hear his alternate reality through the artifacts : :' he offers up. But as it turns out, the only true access point ': ,: into Chad VanGaalenÆs expanding universe is oneÆs own will to :, : create. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
