performing the liquid symmetries of sexuality
We have featured several works by musician, video director and performing artist Planningtorock here on dpv.

Enjoy!
Joanna Newsom crafts fragile psychedelic folk tunes. Both music and lyrics to “Sprout and the Bean” are reminiscent of the solo work of Syd Barrett in their childlike, magical simplicity and playfulness.

Some more of that sweet, melancholy drenched psychedelia for you. Enjoy!
