DETROIT CANTASTORIA FEST: You missed it?! That’s OK, video edit is underway…
WFLR just posted a secret episode of DANCE WITH ME, STANLEY. STASHU brings along me and artist FAVI for a pre-recorded show that ended up not airing, because the live show happened instead. Enjoy!
Hi, I’m Joe Krause and this is my Personal Homepage on the World Wide Web. I’m a multidisciplinary outsider artist living in Detroit. I do radio, films, performances, music, city tours, zines, sound design, audio theater, cultural documentation, podcasts and so on. Join my email list, follow my socials, smash the button that does the thing, smash the coffee table… I like to collaborate!
I created the soundtrack for a new forty-second animation by filmmaker Gary Schwartz, which is live on YouTube and will premiere in-real-life in October! The sounds for this film include clips from tapes I recorded as a child, field recordings of real locations including Cedar Point and Dutch barrel organs, a few catalogue sounds and a bunch of custom sounds created at home for this short. It’s amazing how many useful noises a simple bicycle can make.
Iztac, the snow leopard at the Mexico City zoo, plans his escape in the midst of his trapeze act. DJ Stashu longs for a blue-collar lover. Mitch gets trapped in a time vortex, and Detroit looks forward optimistically amidst chaos. Quirky original music and animation soundtracks round out this new six-track collection.
