“Precarious recline”, 2015, Found lawn chairs, strap, bottle
This sculpture, Precarious recline, is from Bjorn Copeland’s 2015 exhibition Over Easy at Various Small Fires Los Angeles. It was created using discarded furniture found around East Los Angeles.
The exhibition also included a sound sculpture, Scrambled Eggs, Mexican Radio Edit (2015). It was made in collaboration with the artist’s Black Dice band mates Eric Copeland and Aaron Warren, and combined signals from multiple car radios in an unpredictable and erratic disharmony. The resulting composition was synthesized in real-time and constantly changing.
The video below is for White Sugar, from Black Dice’s 2021 album Mod Prog Sic.

ill peach- COMATOSE
This single by ill peach was released in February of 2022.
Here’s what they had to say about the song (from their Bandcamp page)-
”COMATOSE imitates the sound inside of our head. Like a Being John Malkovich moment. It’s the beautiful chaos that was living inside of our mind during 2020. It’s colorful and frantic but emotional and personal. We tried to capture that feeling you get when you’re dropping on the craziest rollercoaster at Six Flags. It’s aggressive and out of your control but so real and amazing and completely exotic. Wanting to feel good. Feel your best. That’s the mission.”
They are playing tomorrow 7/11/23 at The Bellwether in Los Angeles with Phantogram.
