Tele Fresco - Act 5

Tele Fresco - Act 4: Aversion (directed by 2 Nice)

Tele Fresco - Act 4 from 2 Nice on Vimeo.

The fourth installment of Love Letter is the most emotionally charged yet as the relationship, replete with ferocious flames, vacillates between anger and passion.   

Tele Fresco - Act 3: Infatuation (Directed by 2 Nice)

Tele Fresco - Act 3 from 2 Nice on Vimeo.

The lips are a boundary. They are portals where the inside is exposed to the outside, where the breath of life passes in and out, where food is taken in, and speech breathed forth. The mouth is the most variegated gateway into the interior of the body, taking in all sorts of things from outside the body and throwing out things from inside, and the lips are the guardians.  To kiss is to draw near to that boundary between me and you. - Peter Leithart

If the larger narrative arc of Love Letters traces the evolution of a relationship, interpolating a kaleidoscope of mini narratives in an effort to shirk traditional notions of titular characters, we have moved out of the excitement of the first night and into the engrossing sexual potency of infatuation.   But true to the tenor of the piece at large, this is not merely a descriptive endeavor.  While there is something sensual and perhaps fragile in the confluence of vintage pornography, time-lapse blooming flowers, gushing eros, there is a dark underpinning (the domestically subversive broken house of cards) to it all which is only made more acute at the time of writing for in some bizarre confluence of historical and cultural references, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream", fanfared by every major media outlet, stretches across time, as I plot the course of this essay, to engage with Act 3's preface: the ominous, syblline voice of Langston Hughes as he recites his poem "Dreams":

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

To hold onto your dreams is the task that Act 3 holds up for it's viewers, dreams of love, of anything and everything, while all the while knowing that dreams will pass and the field will be barren, frozen with snow or not.

Tele Fresco - Act 2: Elation (Directed by 2 Nice)

Tele Fresco - Act 2 from Chuck Schwarzbeck AKA 2 Nice on Vimeo.

"Joy yes, joy is fine, but enjoyment is possessive." -  Geoffrey Hill

The psychedelic, syrupy swirls - sonic and visual - of Tele Fresco's and 2 Nice's second installment of Love Letters bespeak a type of bacchanalian revelry, as if commingling the lush synth's of Benzel's "Fallin' Love" with the hedonistic purr of new Gucci.  The plot is common and easily fits a self-referential reading: strangers at a party, a lilting voice breathing upon an ear, soft caresses.  Yet, more than a fond recollection of bygone nights, this hazy memory is punctuated by caustic wit.  Shirking simplistic depictions of romance that the project's semi-Romantic title suggests, the duo carve out a creative space that sarcastically rebukes a culture captivated by love (and twerking to the undulations of an anarchical flag) to pose an ethical question embedded in Act 1: are we culpable for our emotions?
If you haven't watched Act 1, please do so now before continuing.

Thaddeus David - Maven

Seattle's Thaddeus David has offered up a new tape via his label Members Only: Maven.  It's all pretty hitter, but Thad comes at you with hella different styles making the mixtape... more like a collection of songs.  The first track, "Less Is More" was produced by Plug Gods God Father, Tele Fresco AKA SteezieColtrane AKA Stevie (of Stevie and Sam).  Thaddeus David and Tele Fresco are currently working on a different project together that will drop in the near future.
