MODERN PRODIGIES



Across the board, two sets of iron lock eyes in a quiet area during the game fight remaining pieces. In this rare case, however, both opponents have of same strategy: poetic impasse.

Jake Schrock is the dark architect of wet neon-stained streets that cut glowing trail ghettos of hot steam and the cold light of tough foreign - strange cityscapes where no one is safe and always alone. George Quartz is the solitary player cracked and lost in this urban nightmare(shot on location), teeth rattle the strange summer chill, fever and a method role gone amok: Chess master, Casanova, unscrupulous masher.... lycanthrope? Who is the face reflect the shop mannequin's staring blank?

'Oh my god, it still happens....'

This is town Schrock and no way to easy out.



Schrock & Quartz - Modern Prodigy



George Quartz will appear with Personal Victories Saturday night this. More information will come.

MEMO FROM THE QUARTZ DESK II: IS IT SUMMER YET?



Occasionally, on that rare weekend when I have a few contemplative moments to spare, I'll cut short my usual marathon meditation session a few minutes and pop into this dusty office to crank out a post such as this. I'll really only do so if I feel I have something very important to share.... and if these damn tremors in my hands have subsided enough for pecking away at the old teevee typewriter, as it were....



Jake Five, whom The Sybil brought to me in one of her rather disturbing and ill-timed astral projections, has been quietly invading Dirt City with his own brand of surreal synthesis and subconscious sci-fi sounds. When he's not busy creating sonic holographic landscapes of a near-future that only could have happened in the past, he is, quite generously, providing electronic epicureans, such as yours truly, with soundtracks to long-lost eras we all wish we could have been a part of.... or, as in this case, to the good times we all hope to see again:



Jake Five - Is It Summer Yet? Mixtape

I absolutely promise that you will be hearing more from this Jake Five character in the future.... and, after this rambling mess - less from me! Oh, by the way, here's one more treat you can thank Mr. Five for, that, incidentally, is the opening track from the mixtape:

JAKE FIVE IS ALIVE



During the night, as the ghostly steam hovering over the cold, damp air, Jake Five rods on the street under the glowing, pulsing grids neon rainbow of colors. It is not clear that this enigmatic figure of the console is human or android or wraith or hologram. It is clear that his 1982 Jaguar has literally become its name, a sexy predator stalking the streets in search of a silken, though Faux Fox. During this it tears in big claws its prey, the rearranging is strange, dark, and beautiful.
