Andrew set one of his meditations on a Japanese wood print to this really interesting archival travel footage from 1930s Japan. Enjoy!

Video for my favorite Ukiyo-ki song “Quixote Thinks of Fuji.”  The song is a reflection on Hiroshige’s Fukeiga print - which made me think of Don Quixote thinking of Mount Fuji and what it would be like to see it through his eyes.  The video is from a five part travelogue called “Seeing the World.”  It is chopped up and pieced together to more fit the song.  Enjoy…

About

Not quite a record label. Not based in Alaska.

Alaska Tapes started as a fictitious record label for the band/artist We/Or/Me. It took its obscure and misleading name from some audiotapes that documented a series of talks given by the artist's father in Alaska in 1984.

It is now less a fictitious record label, and more an actual artist collective of sorts. It hopes to put out some records, put on some shows, and bring some people together. It will strive to create a supportive environment for creative expression and meaningful conversations. It will favor the word community over the word scene.

So far it involves the following people/artists:

Husayn Allmart, Minister of Communications
Andrew Malo, musical artist Angela Malo, visual artist We/Or/Me, musical artist

Liza Mitchell, photographer

Soon it will involve others.
