paragraph: Josephine Meckseper

paragraph: Josephine Meckseper is a German-born contemporary artist based in New York City. Her large-scale installations and films have been shown at various international biennials and museums.

paragraph: Section::::Life and education.

paragraph: Josephine Meckseper grew up in Worpswede, Germany, a utopian artist colony founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Meckseper’s maternal great-grand-uncle, Heinrich Vogeler (1872–1942) is said to have resided there. Meckseper’s father is German artist Friedrich Meckseper (born 1936).

paragraph: Josephine Meckseper studied at Berlin University of the Arts in Germany from 1986–1990, and received a MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1992.

paragraph: Section::::Work.

paragraph: Meckseper’s time at CalArts coincided with the Gulf War and the Rodney King riots; during this politically-charged period, her work reflected upon the actions of the Situationist International and the Angry Brigade.

paragraph: In 1994, Meckseper founded "FAT Magazine", a conceptual magazine project distributed at regular newsstands and in supermarkets, but also exhibited in galleries and museums in the form of wallpaper. It was inspired by political theorist and radical publisher Jean-Paul Marat’s newspaper, published during the French Revolution called L'Ami du peuple and the avant-garde tradition of breaking down barriers between art and life. Since 1994 Meckseper has published four issues: Good and Evil (1994); Surrender (1995/1996); on Fire (1997); and Overflow (1999).

paragraph: Meckseper’s installations, sculptures, photographs, and videos use industrial forms of presentation such as vitrines, window displays, and magazines to demonstrate inextricable influences of consumer culture on society and cultural production. Meckseper melds the aesthetics of modernism with the formal language of commercial display, combining them with images and artifacts of historical and political events. Often contained within Meckseper’s signature displays are paintings that nod to 20th century European modernist art, such as Russian constructivism, as well as photographs and video taken by Meckseper at present-day protests.

paragraph: Manhattan Oil Project

paragraph: In 2012, Meckseper presented the public project Manhattan Oil Project, installing two monumental kinetic sculptures modeled after mid-20th century oil pumps on the corner of 46th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. These 25 feet tall sculptures were inspired by oil pumps that the artist discovered in Electra, a boarded-up town once famous for being the pump jack capital of Texas. Each sculpture was fully motorized to simulate the motions of a working oil pump. Placed in a vacant lot next to Times Square, the pump jacks recalled the ruins of ghost towns, forgotten monuments of America's decaying industrial past.

paragraph: Pellea[s]

paragraph: Meckseper's film "Pellea[s]" is a narrative film released in 2018 that expresses through cinema the narratives and relationships contained within the universe within her glass and mirror vitrines. Meckseper explains, ""Pellea[s]" expands on this historical discourse through cinema and acted out narratives. It is a modern adaptation of Maurice Maeterlinck’s play "Pelléas et Mélisande", conflated with the current political realities in the US."

paragraph: Harold Norse

paragraph: Harold Norse (July 6, 1916, New York City – June 8, 2009, San Francisco) was an American writer who created a body of work using the American idiom of everyday language and images. One of the expatriate artists of the Beat generation, Norse was widely published and anthologized.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born Harold Rosen to an unmarried Lithuanian Jewish immigrant in Brooklyn. In the early 1950s, he came up with the new last name, Norse, by rearranging the letters in Rosen.

paragraph: He received his B.A. from Brooklyn College in 1938, where he edited the literary magazine. Norse met Chester Kallman in 1938, and then became a part of W. H. Auden's "inner circle" when Auden moved to the U.S. in 1939. (Kallman and Auden later became lifelong partners.) However, Norse soon found himself allied with William Carlos Williams, who rated Norse the 'best poet of [his] generation.' Norse broke with traditional verse forms and embraced a more direct, conversational language. Soon Norse was publishing in "Poetry," "The Saturday Review" and "The Paris Review." He got his master's degree in literature from New York University in 1951. His first book of poems, "The Undersea Mountain", was published in 1953.

paragraph: From 1954-59 Norse lived and wrote in Italy. He penned the experimental cut-up novel "Beat Hotel" in 1960 while living in Paris with William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso from 1959 to 1963. He traveled to Tangier, where he stayed with Jane and Paul Bowles. Returning to America in 1968, Norse arrived in Venice, California, near Charles Bukowski. He moved to San Francisco in 1972 and lived in the Mission District of San Francisco for the last 35 years of his life.

paragraph: "Memoirs of a Bastard Angel" traces Norse's life and literary career with Auden, Christopher Isherwood, E. E. Cummings, Tennessee Williams, William Carlos Williams, James Baldwin, Dylan Thomas, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Paul Bowles, Charles Bukowski, Robert Graves and Anaïs Nin. With "Carnivorous Saint: Gay Poems 1941-1976" Norse became a leading gay liberation poet. His collected poems, "In the Hub of the Fiery Force", appeared in 2003.

paragraph: Norse is a two-time NEA grant recipient, and National Poetry Association award winner.

paragraph: Larry McGrew

paragraph: Lawrence McGrew (July 23, 1957 – April 2, 2004 ) was an American football linebacker in the National Football League.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Lawrence McGrew played football at Contra Costa College and the University of Southern California, and started in two Rose Bowls. During the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft, he was selected by the New England Patriots as an outside linebacker.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: McGrew played for the National Football League New England Patriots and New York Giants between 1980 and 1990.

paragraph: He helped New England reach the Super Bowl in 1986 and earned a championship ring when New York beat Buffalo in Super Bowl XXV.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Super Bowl XX.

paragraph: An excellent linebacker and relentless defender, McGrew will forever be remembered for a play he didn't make that occurred during Super Bowl XX between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears in 1986. One of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history was William "The Refrigerator" Perry's touchdown run. McGrew was on the receiving end of the hit that propelled Perry into the end zone and into Super Bowl history. McGrew was no match for Perry's momentum and wide girth and was consequently run over and flattened by Perry in the end zone. When Lawrence didn't get up immediately after the play a teammate came over and asked him if he was okay. Lawrence replied "Yeah, I'm fine. But I just made ESPN highlights for eternity."

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Lawrence McGrew died on April 2, 2004. He was 46.

paragraph: McGrew collapsed at his home in Lancaster, California, due to a massive heart attack. McGrew left his two children and one step-child by his wife Charyce McGrew – celsea, camynn and charyce Searcy – and three children Larry, Aaron, Analeise, granddaughter Lawryn, a grandson Nehamiah by a previous marriage to Elaine McGrew; who currently resides in El Sobrante, California.

paragraph: Section::::Identity theft.

paragraph: A Colorado thief named Frederick William McGrew III illegally adopted Larry McGrew's name and career statistics to get a job as an assistant football coach at Gavilan College in California. The impostor was fired five weeks later and arrested. He told police he was Lawrence's nephew and repeated the claim at his initial court appearance, but it was all a lie.

paragraph: In December, Frederick McGrew was sentenced to three years of supervised probation and 160 hours of community service for stealing Lawrence's identity and for fraudulently using an Ohio woman's Social Security number.

paragraph: Frederick McGrew also falsely worked under the NFL star's name while working as a cook in a TGI Friday's restaurant in Salt Lake City, UT during the late 1990s. Frederick McGrew even told at least one restaurant employee; "I was the player who William "The Refrigerator" Perry ran over in the end zone to score a touchdown in Super Bowl XX." It is unknown if TGI Friday's management was ever made aware of this fraud or if tax/payroll records were ever corrected.

paragraph: Costanzo Varolio

paragraph: Costanzo Varolio, Latinized as Constantius Varolius (1543–1575), was an Italian anatomist and a papal physician to Gregory XIII.

paragraph: Varolio was born in Bologna. He was a pupil of the anatomist Giulio Cesare Aranzio, himself a pupil of Vesalius. He received his doctorate in medicine in 1567. In 1569 the Senate of the University of Bologna created an extraordinary chair in surgery for him with responsibility to teach anatomy as well and where a statue of him is housed at the Anatomical Theatre of the Archiginnasio. Later he is believed to have taught at the Sapienza University of Rome although he is not listed on the roll there. Nevertheless, he is known to have had considerable success in Rome both as a physician and as a surgeon and his memorial plaque in that city refers to his great skill in removing stones. He died in Rome.

paragraph: He is best remembered for his work on the cranial nerves. He was the first to examine the brain from its base upwards, in contrast with previous dissections which had been performed from the top downwards. In 1573 he published this new method of dissecting the brain whereby he separated the brain from the skull and began the dissection from the base. Varolio described many of the brain's structures for the first time including the pons or "pons Varolii" which is a reflex center of respiration and a communication bridge between spinal cord and brain, the "crura cerebri" and the ileocecal valve.

paragraph: Another area of interest to him was the mechanism of erectile function. Although the “Musculi erectores penis” (i.e. Mm. bulbospongiosi and ischicavernosi) had already been described by Galen in the 2nd century A.D., this knowledge was lost by the time of Varolio, who re-discovered them and gave a surprisingly accurate description of the mechanism of erection although his inaccurate attribution of erection to "erector muscles" continued to be believed by most anatomists for three centuries.

paragraph: Varolius' work is the following:

paragraph: "De Nervis Opticis nonnullisque aliis praeter communem opinionem in Humano capite observatis. Ad Hieronymum Mercurialem, Patavii apud Paul et Anton. Meiettos fratres", 1573, 8º, 8 and 32 leaves. It consists of a letter to Merculiaris, dated April 1, 1572, his answer, and Varolius' reply to the latter. Appended are three woodcuts pertaining to the brain and drawn by Varolius himself. The engraving is somewhat crude, yet distinct and instructive.

paragraph: A second work by Varolius, a teleologic physiology of man, was published for the first time after his death:

paragraph: "Anatomiae sive de resolutione corporis humani ad Caesarem Mediovillanum libri iv, Eiusdem Varolii et Hieron. Mercrialis De nervis Opticis, etc. epistolae, Francofurti, apud Joh. Wechelum et Petr. Fischerum consortes", 1591, 8º, 8 and 184 pp. This contains one illustration. The former book is republished as a part of this work with unchanged text and the woodcuts recarved in a somewhat different manner.

paragraph: Richard South

paragraph: Richard South FRES (1846–1932) was an English entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths).

paragraph: South was born in Marylebone, London, England and educated at a private school, in Reading.

paragraph: He is best known for writing three important books on butterflies and moths of the British Isles. After his death, these were updated by H. M. Edelsten. Michael Salmon has described these as "innovative" and "a new kind of [field] guide for the [twentieth] century", noting their early use of colour photographs and eschewing of "Victorian polixity and classical preciousness". The moth volumes were reprinted as late as 1980.

paragraph: South was editor of "The Entomologist". He also published many papers on the Lepidoptera of the Far East, including China and Korea, and an account of the butterflies collected by Captain F.M. Bailey in western China, Tibet and South-Eastern and the Mishmi Hills.

paragraph: Major parts of his collections of specimens survive, in the Natural History Museum and in the collection of Birmingham Museums Trust.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: South was married twice, firstly to his cousin Sarah, and after widowhood, to Evelyn Urquhart, whose father had been a Mayor of Paddington. He lived in London.

paragraph: James Morris III

paragraph: James Morris III ( – ) was a Continental Army officer from Connecticut during the American Revolutionary War and founder of the Morris Academy, a pioneer in coeducation.

paragraph: Born in Litchfield County, Connecticut, James Morris spent his early life hoping and training to be a minister. However, after graduating from Yale College, Morris accepted a commission of First Lieutenant from the Continental Army and joined the fight for American Independence. Morris was captured during the Battle of Germantown and spent most of the remaining war in captivity. Upon his release, Morris was promoted to the rank of Captain and supported Alexander Hamilton in the Siege of Yorktown. When he returned from the war, Morris began and ran an academy that trained both boys and girls together, a rarity at the time.

paragraph: James Morris died in 1820. In 1859, Morris's hometown of South Farms, Connecticut was renamed Morris in his honor.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: James Morris was born to Deacon James Morris Jr. and Phebe Barns Morris in South Farms, Connecticut on January 19, 1752.

paragraph: Even as a young man, Morris displayed a disposition for education, borrowing often from the library in nearby Bethlehem, where his father was a member. Through these studies, Morris hoped to eventually become a minister. When Morris was eighteen, his father sent him to live full-time in Bethlehem and study under Dr. Joseph Bellamy. Morris continued with Bellamy until the spring of 1770, when he spent the season studying under the South Farms minister Dr. Salmon Hurlburt. That fall Morris found yet another instructor in Mr. Nathan Hale, saying of him, "Mr. Hale was an accurate scholar and an able instructor."

paragraph: In September 1771, Morris began more formal studies at Yale College. For his tutor at Yale, Morris was assigned future Yale president Timothy Dwight IV, who would be an influential force in coeducation in his own right. Morris was awarded his degree in July, 1775, noting in his memoirs, "having had my share of honorary appointments."

paragraph: Upon graduation Morris returned to South Farms, where he helped his father with the harvest and took a post teaching grammar school in nearby Litchfield, where he received his first opportunity to teach and was paid "'handsome wages' hoping to reimburse his father for the heavy expenses of his college education."

paragraph: Section::::The War.

paragraph: Section::::The War.:Commission and early service.

paragraph: Morris's tenure as an instructor in Litchfield was cut short when, within months of arriving, he received an unsolicited ensign's commission in the Connecticut militia, which he accepted. While in the service of the Connecticut militia Morris saw his first action, fighting battles in both Long Island and White Plains. In his memoirs, Morris wrote of this time, stating that "The soldiers universally manifested a great respect for me, for my care of the sick and my attention to their wants, and for my sympathies in their distresses."

paragraph: In late December 1776, Morris completed his commitment to the Connecticut militia and immediately accepted a commission in the Continental Army as a first lieutenant. After serving as a recruiting officer in Litchfield, Morris joined General George Washington and the army at Peekskill. On October 3, 1776, General Washington commanded this army in the Battle of Germantown. The American forces were ultimately unsuccessful in this battle and Morris was taken as a prisoner of war on October 4, 1776.

paragraph: Section::::The War.:Captivity.

paragraph: The early part of Morris's confinement were the most trying. He was taken to the "New Jail" in Philadelphia where he "was locked in a cold room ... destitute of everything by cold stone walls and bare floors—no kind of a seat to sit on—all total darkness, no water to drink or a morsel to eat; without a blanket to cover [him]."

paragraph: Despite his meager accommodations, Morris decided to make the best of his imprisonment in Philadelphia by negotiating with his jailors to borrow books from the so-called circulating library recently established by Benjamin Franklin in that city. One historian points to this time as when Morris was exposed to the philosophers that would be so influential in his later life as an educator: "From Milton, James Morris absorbed ideas in favor of healthy exercises to develop both body and mind at the same time; from Rollin, the danger of following custom blindly rather than reason; and from Locke, the novel idea that the English language was as important as Latin and Greek."

paragraph: In May 1778, Morris convinced his captors to admit him to parole and was sent to Flatbush, Long Island, where he stayed with a Mr. Clarkson. In his memoir, Morris noted that Clarkson was "a man of science and large property, ... who owned the most extensive private library that [Morris] had ever known in the United States." While still in captivity Morris found this situation rather comfortable and took every advantage of the library he so admired.

paragraph: On January 3, 1781, Morris was freed as part of a prisoner exchange.

paragraph: Section::::The War.:Post-release.

paragraph: Upon his release, Morris returned to Peekskill where he discovered that he had been promoted to the rank of captain while in the custody of the British. Morris commanded a company back to White Plains until he received orders to head south to Virginia. Upon arrival, Morris's company, under the overall command of General George Washington, aided in Siege of Yorktown, the last major battle of the American Revolution. Specifically, Morris's company of light infantry provided support to the forlorn hope commanded by Colonel Alexander Hamilton.

paragraph: Section::::Post-war.

paragraph: James Morris returned to South Farms in December 1781. Days after his return, on December 20, he married Elizabeth Hubbard. Shortly thereafter, the people of South Farms made Morris both the Justice of the Peace and a Selectman. In the summer of 1782 Morris briefly returned to service, but was ultimately released from service in November of that year.

paragraph: In the following years James and Elizabeth had five children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Abigail Morris (b. 8/2/1783)

paragraph: BULLET::::- James Morris, IV (b. 12/4/1784): 1803 Yale graduate, Tutor of the University of Georgia, Head of the Academy in Sunbry, Georga.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Reuben Smith Morris (b. 5/24/1786): 1804 Yale graduate, attorney in Cayuga, New York.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Samuel Hubbard Morris (b. 2/6/1788) (d. 12/22/1793)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Robert Hubbard Morris (b. 7/25/1789): "endowed with 'good academic education,'" settled at Cayuga."

paragraph: In between the birth of James and Reuben, Morris became severely ill. During his illness, a man named Gad Farnam moved into the Morris's home to care for him day and night. The two families became very close and Gad's daughter Rhoda, only five years old at the time of the illness, later became Morris's second wife. It was at this point in Morris's life that he accepted that he would never realize his early dream of becoming a minister.

paragraph: Section::::The Morris Academy.

paragraph: By 1790, it had become common for children to come to Morris's house for instruction and access to his library. Morris welcomed all of these students, both male and female. Morris's coeducation caused some stir within the community when some claimed that his education of women was "'blowing up their pride' so that 'they would feel themselves above their mates and they would feel above labour.'" In 1794, these frustrations were brought to fruition when a hearing was held in the church. The charges were dismissed and the publicity from the controversy brought so much attention, that, by 1803, he had instructed students "from all the New England States except Rhode Island, and from the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. Also from the Island of St. Thomas in the West Indies, and from the Island of Bermuda."

paragraph: By the turn of the century, Morris found it necessary to formalize his instruction and construct a proper Academy building. The estimated cost was $1200, so Morris enlisted wealthy residents of Litchfield and South Farms.

paragraph: On November 28, 1803, The Morris Academy moved out of James Morris's home and into the brand new building. For the period from 1803 to 1812, the Morris Academy grew to an average of 50-75 students.

paragraph: The Academy was handed to several other heads of school, until, on April 12, 1888, the Morris Academy was closed for good.

paragraph: In the introduction to her book on the academy, Barbara Nolen Strong noted:

paragraph: The Morris Academy is entitled to be called a pioneer institution because of its 'open door' policy in coeducation. It was not the first in the United States, not even in Connecticut, but none of the other early academies opened their doors as wide and kept them open as long. No other coeducational academy spread its influence so far.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: In September 1814 Morris's wife Elizabeth died. The following March, Morris married Rhonda Farnam and the marriage bore two children.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Jane Elizabeth Morris (b. 1/30/1816)

paragraph: BULLET::::- Timothy Dwight Morris (b. 11/22/1817)

paragraph: During the "second war with Great Britain", at the age of 61, Morris was commissioned as a First Major of the Second Regiment of Volunteers in the State of Connecticut.

paragraph: Toward the end of his life, Morris compiled his memoirs, which were subsequently published as "Memoirs of James Morris of South Farms In Litchfield".

paragraph: James Morris died on April 20, 1820 and was buried in the graveyard at what is now commonly referred to as the East Morris cemetery.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In June, 1859, South Farms was incorporated as Morris, Connecticut in his honor.

paragraph: The James Morris Museum is located in the center of the town of Morris and contains original artifacts and writings of James Morris.

paragraph: The foundation of The Morris Academy remains intact on the grounds of James Morris Elementary School, in Morris.

paragraph: Giuseppe Galli Bibiena

paragraph: Giuseppe Galli Bibiena (5 January 1696 - 12 March 1757),

paragraph: Italian designer, became the most distinguished artist of the Galli da Bibiena family.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born in Parma, the second son of Ferdinando Galli Bibiena. In 1708, Ferdinando was called to Barcelona by Charles III of Habsburg to help organize and decorate his wedding to Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Queen of Prussia and Giuseppe accompanied him. Later Giuseppe traveled with his father to the courts of Charles VI the Holy Roman Emperor (reigned 1711-1740) who hired Fernando to be the court’s scenographer and painter. There, when his father left in 1717, he became the chief organizer of the court festivities and official functions and named "His Majesty's Second Theatrical Engineer". It was not until 1723 that Giuseppe was officially promoted to "His Majesty's First Theatrical Engineer" and kept the position until 1747. After receiving his position in court, Giuseppe became involved in decorating all the Habsburgs' celebratory festivities. He did parties, weddings, funerals, painted in monasteries and various countries. He also did work for religious venues as in Melk Abbey (Pulpit and High Altar) and in Prague when he built a decorative arch in 1729 for the celebration of John of Nepomuk. His younger brother Antonio Galli Bibiena was also hired by the Vienna court and worked alongside Giuseppe. Together Antonio and Giuseppe designed theater decorations and for festivities in Vienna, also Linz, Graz, and Prague (1723 "Costanza e Fortezza" at Hradčany castle).

paragraph: The death of Charles VI in 1740 made a significant shift in Giuseppe Bibiena’s career. Charles VI’s daughter and successor Maria Theresa did not see theatre as representative of her reign as her father did. Especially after her marriage to Francis I, his French tastes overturned Italian prominence in the Vienna court. Giuseppe stayed in Vienna, organized Maria Theresa’s wedding and festivities and still continued to find various jobs in the area, but his significance in the Vienna court diminished. This caused Giuseppe to take various jobs outside Vienna. In 1753 Giuseppe was hired by Frederick the Great of Prussia in his court in Berlin. There Giuseppe spent the last three years of his life and died at the age of 61 on March 12, 1757.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Giuseppe’s innovation in theatre and in architecture embodied the Baroque/Classical style of the time period. His designs focused on detail, majesty, grandeur, and demonstrated a classical theme which was considered “true art” in the society of that time. Because of this, Giuseppe thrived as an artist. Although most of Giuseppe’s designs were made to be temporary and are no longer accessible, many of his drawings were published. His efforts to combine architecture and painting through the perspective can easily be seen in three series of engravings: "Alcina" (in 1716), "Costanza e Fortezza" (1723 "Constancy and Fortitude"); and "Architetture e prospettive" (1740 "Architecture and Perspective"). The baroque style and attention to detail made the Bibiena style of scenography stand out. The multifaceted backdrops gave the audience a more realistic experience and added to the overall aesthetic of the play or opera. They not only impacted the scenery designs inside the theatre but also the architecture of the theatre itself.

paragraph: Garry Cobain

paragraph: Garry Cobain (sometimes styled as Gaz Cobain) (born 1967) is a British electronic musician, and one half of The Future Sound of London. He lives in France.

paragraph: Section::::Background.

paragraph: Cobain was born on 16 May 1967 in Bedford. He left Bedford for Manchester in his late teens to study at a time when alternative music in that part of Britain was taking off; the dance music scene in particular was becoming more and more popular, not just in Manchester but all over the country and in the States too. Cobain, drawn to the city by bands like The Chameleons and The Smiths, embraced this atmosphere and joined a band he had seen rehearsing in a studio and stayed with them for a year; after his spell with that band he met Brian Dougans.

paragraph: Section::::Music.

paragraph: After meeting Dougans they both started discussing their shared interest in electronic music and began to work together on small projects; Cobain then left the college to build his own studio on an Enterprise Allowance Course and he and Dougans began to release tracks under aliases such as "Mental Cube" and "Art Science Technology", some of these early singles would be compiled onto "Earthbeat" (1992).

paragraph: His first big collaboration with Dougans was on "Stakker Humanoid", which went on to be a chart hit at a time when acid house in particular was becoming popular. The pair then released their first single as The Future Sound of London (FSOL) "Papua New Guinea" which also became a hit in clubs across Britain and the States. They signed with Virgin Records but remained independent artistically, something they have always fought for and achieved; Cobain puts this down to them already having a few hits under their belts ("Papua New Guinea" in particular) before they signed with the major label.

paragraph: Cobain has always been the more vocal member of the band and always speaks for them in interviews with Dougans sometimes interjecting on a certain point; Cobain has said that FSOL is a combination of opposites, the roles of masculine and feminine are central to the FSOL ethos and Cobain has said that in the band he represents the melody and softness as opposed to Dougans representing technology, machines and programming; it is the marriage of these forces, Cobain says, that makes FSOL work the way it does, especially with the Amorphous Androgynous of the new millennium where progressive rock and psychedelica were embraced. The new incarnation of Amorphous Androgynous is very much Cobain's new vehicle for the expression of his energy whilst still releasing their more electronic-based music as FSOL.

paragraph: He has stated that he is influenced philosophically by Laozi, Buddha and Jiddu Krishnamurti and that he likes the bands Secret Chiefs 3, Mercury Rev and Simian among many others.
