Editorial Issue n° 6
Dear reader,
You are holding the 6th edition of our irregularly published newspaper. It presents the second edition of the great collaborative project called Eastern Daze. For those who missed out the first edition: it’s a one day festival and draws you into the immersive effect that trance music supposed to have. It leaves you with a burning ache in between your ears, or stomach. Depends what you engulf too much, the music or the hallucinogens. It hints towards an euphoric feeling caused by becoming part of the collective, a drop in the ocean as zen buddhists say.

Arnold Dreyblatt
Arnold Dreyblatt is an American Minimalist composer for whom the idea ‘cult’ seems to be invented. His body of work explores new forms of transcendental rhythmic minimalism, played on prepared instru- ments—like a double bass with piano strings. Just as his visual art, Dreyblatt’s music works as a ‘rethinking of identity, history, culture, and memory’.
His c.v. reads as an impressive who’s who in the minimalist canon: student of La Monte Young and Pauline Oliveros; and records on legendary labels like Hat Hut, Tzadik, Table of Elements and most re- cently Oren Ambarchi’s Black Truffle label.
