ARTIST STATEMENT:

The origins of the concept are vast and have been developing for years. Mainly there are three experiences that are worth noting and have gotten us here.

1.) A dream which the title is from. I was working on a series of art pieces called Plastic Penis People. I can't really remember the content I was coming up with in the dream. However, I remembered the title and wrote it down in a dream journal upon awakening.

2.) A psychedelic trip I had where every time I blinked I would be transported into a different dimension or space. Basically I was traveling through different dimensions and worlds by blinking like channels changing on a television set.

3.) Going back to the title and perhaps the whole concept is some sort of subliminal ode to the band Whitehouse. Who really knows though. This first sonic sculpture came to be very late one night, I don't really feel like I personally made this sculpture or that I had any involvement at all in this project.

Lastly, this project is not a band. These sculptures are artifacts representing the different dimensions the blinking eyes saw.

The Coma Zombie moniker revolves around manipulated vocal chants. "XIII Skulls on the Banks of the Semliki River" was recorded in early April of 2015. 25 CDr's were created, all had defects. The album has been in the Monolithos Records archives ever since. This digital reissue is the first time the album has been available to the masses since being shelved.

Coma Zombie found inspiration in the following story:

60,000 B.C., Katanda, Central Africa
"Recent archaeological expeditions discovered a cave that contained thirteen skulls on the banks of the Upper Semliki River, in Katanda, Central Africa. All had been crushed. Near them was a large pile of fossilized ash. Laboratory analysis determined the ash to be the remains of thirteen Homo sapiens.

On the wall of the cave is a painting of a human figure, hands raised in a threatening posture, eyes fixed in an evil gaze. Inside its gaping mouth is the body of another human."
-Zombie Survival Guide

TS - vocals, feedback, effects, pedals, oscillator, mixer

Recorded in the Cloud Dungeon. Chicago. April 2015.
