about

“Exquisitely potent, a psychic shield for our times.” — Patti Smith

“Poet, musicians, artists, eternal lovers, we now meet to reanimate the word/world. That shadow vibration, free-gender energy, it is the warrior adepts. Anne Waldman has the microphone, the bird call, the caw caw caw, the force of nature. SCIAMACHY is her sonic lamp n’ sword raised high. Occupy the future!” —Thurston Moore

“This is astonishing— an incantation, a ritual dance, an ensorcellment, an ekstasis. It’s one of the most powerful things poet Anne Waldman has ever done, and the music is mesmerizing." —Jonathan Cott, Author of “Listening”: Interviews 1970-1989.
