social commentary collages



“A cross between poetry, performance art, and gripping, theatrical sound collages. … One of the most powerful pieces on the tape is “Let Me Entertain You.” I sat stunned while listening to this composition.” Myke Dyer, Nerve

“Weird! And I like it. Take “Some Enchanted Evening,” for example; a horribly mellow rendition of the Rodgers/Hammerstein tune with people being asked the question “Where did you meet your spouse? Would you say it was love at first sight?” on top. One of the replies: “I thought he was the most egotistical, self-centered asshole I ever met.” See what I mean? … You will not be unmoved.” Bret Hart, Option

“I’ve just had a disturbing experience: I listened to The Art of Juxtaposition. Now wait a minute; Canadian musicians are not supposed to be politically aware or delve into questions regarding sexual relationships, religion, and/or sex, racism, rape. They are supposed to write nice songs that people can tap their feet to and mindlessly inebriate themselves to. You expect me to play this on my show?” Travis B. CITR

“We found that the music was unique, brilliant, and definitely not ‘Canadian’. Chris Wind is a very talented individual. We were more than impressed with the material. The Art of Juxtaposition is filling one of the emptier spaces in the music world with creative and intelligent music-art.” rejection letter from Rebecca Rutland, AMOK Records
