also i will be playing a rare unplugged set of all new “campfire songs” in brooklyn @issueprojectroom on 4/2 with @joannamattrey . hope to see you… here are some nice words about it…
.
“Taraka has spent over fifteen years exploring post-apocalyptic visions and music as a vehicle for utopia. During their ISSUE residency, Prince Rama created space for ritual, focusing on the body as a vehicle for utopian experimentation. This year, inspired by J.G. Ballard’s notion of a “science fiction of the next five minutes,” Rage Peace / Campfire Songs unfolds in an alternate worldline where a dystopian, technocratic AI governance system has banned non-AI concerts, forcing music to survive as clandestine ritual. For this rare solo performance, Taraka explores “campfire songs” as a microcosmic invitation to imagine what forms of togetherness and collective healing are still possible.”

From the archive: A play off the words “exercise” and “exorcise”, UTOPIA=NO PERSON encouraged willing participants to undergo a confrontation with personal demons and shedding of individual identity through the physical exhaustion of the body. Prince Rama transformed the concert space of ISSUE Project Room into a mystical gym.
This Thursday, Taraka (@_taraka_ ) returns to ISSUE to share “campfire songs” as a potential antidote to post-digital isolation. Tickets at link in bio!
