Jake Anderson / Brian Miller
In The Name of God My Father I Fly / Companion Piece to Evolution
split novella
dba020
Nearly 5 years in the making (although most of that spent dilly dallying), this
"split novella" is an exploration in defying the boundaries of artistic medium.
Jake Anderson (of Yuma Nora / Celesteville) does a cover of the Rose For Bohdan
classic song "What Heavy Metal Taught Us" in the form of a short story. Brian
Miller (of Rose For Bohdan / Foot Village) does a cover of a Jake Anderson drawn
comic book called "Companion Piece" in the form of a short story. Jake
transforms the Rose For Bohdan song from a testament to the glory of METAL into
a proud fictional history of his own ancestors. Brian takes Jake's very personal
memoirs and gives them a blast of sci-fi in a story about the next step in
(automotive) evolution. The results were then bound in the most ridiculous
manner possible and stuffed into mimeographed envelopes.
For a fantastic trip into the surreal, for those interested in reading music
(and we mean this in the psychedelic sense, not the violin lesson one), for a
couple tales of adventure that embrace the nonsense that is fun, make sure to
read this "split novella."
