At the top of this year,
I saw Milwaukee-based artist
Alexander Kollman
aka s.al aka Safari Al
perform at a poetry
reading in Chicago.
Playing beats he had made
(specifically for the reading)
through an old tape player,
he read from pages
of the recently released
Silt Rifle:
his first exclusive
bi-monthly
multimedia creation
through Patreon.
subscribers directly receive
original material
in the form of zines and cassettes.
While Silt Rifle's first edition,
Stone School,
was released months ago,
it is now available
for all non-Patreon users
via Bandcamp.
You can listen
to the double-sided
32 minute reading
(over original production)
as well as purchase cassettes,
shirts, and jewelry.
While you're at it,
you can enjoy a video
of s.al in his poetic element,
complete with Blues Clues-esque
illustrations by Carol Brandt.
