*AND

by Various Artists

supported by

Tom Shea It was so strange, so disorienting, so immediately intimate and personal but also wildly askew. It was like real life, only vastly better. Hyperreal and beautiful. Favorite track: It's hard even to say it. - Alex Temple AND Jenny Olivia Johnson.

about

*AND is a multi-city, multi-country project featuring the collaborative work of Chicago artists/teams of artists and their cohorts in other cities. We asked them to explore what it means to be a collaborative entity and how they might make something specific to the recorded medium.

Other than that, it was basically just... "Do whatever you want, guys...like...whatever...we'll record it...or you can.....seriously..."

It felt nice to say.

And the results are even nicer to hear.

Some people traveled, some Skyped, some maxed out a Google Drive sharing recordings, and everyone blew our minds.
