FREE CONCERT! Jack Stamps

Jack will explain his role as songwriter, performer and producer MC Debris in the collaboration to create the modernist pop album CARSON. Using the lyrics created by long-time librettist, lyricist and business partner, John Navarro, Jack created a sonically dense pop landscape that evokes production and recording techniques that span the 70s through the present. Dax Norman, surrealist animator, created accompanying videos for the 10 songs of CARSON, each meant to double as traditional music videos and projections during future live performances. The presentation will also include premieres of final versions of many of the videos. The MC Debris album, CARSON, is a collection of ten songs set to lyrics by John Navarro. Each song combines the biographies of idiosyncratic entertainers of the 70's and 80's with rearranged MIDI arrangement data of some pop and dance songs from the same eras. The nature of the album is not parody. These interpretations are intended as an experiment with form and expression that begins with personal memory.
