THE SILVER PANTHERS OF LUNA
Experimental Sound Collage by Ben Blohowiak
The entire 1 hour piece will be broadcast followed by a live conversation with Ben.
“The Silver Panthers of Luna offers a tongue-in-cheek take on a question as old as 1970: what if, instead of holding Timothy Leary hostage in Algeria, the Black Panthers joined forces with him and other members of the SMI2LEing psychedelic Anglo-American scientific elite? Wouldn’t their alliance produce the first utopian human settlement on the Moon? And wouldn’t that settlement broadcast their story in cut-up mash-up plunderphonic bursts? The answer, of course, is of course!”
