Three FREE Concerts on April 16th, April 23rd & April 28th @ 8:00 PM at Space 124, Project Artaud!

OPPOSITE ENDS became manifest out of a 20 year Visual Music  collaboration, which has generated a spectrum of Paintings & Songs born  form two opposing artistic temperaments in search of an alchemical  synthesis, primarily through the medium of Music: Vocals, lyrics and  percussion by Bern, and Saxophones, Flutes and Electric Keyboard by  Phil, resulting in a duet called FILL & BURN. 

Their Songs like their Paintings are reflective of our polarizing modern  times, in search of a successful blend of opposing ideologies, socially,  politically speaking. Phil’s Abstract Expressionism is experienced as being  diametrically opposed to Bern’s “political naturalism:” producing an on going tension in perception and temperament, which yearns for resolution  through the collaborative nature of Music, driven by a timeless urge for a  unification of opposites. 

Over these last 20 years PROJECT ARTAUD has provided a much  appreciated safe haven for Phil & Bern to embark on a highly creative  exploration of musical material and technique which is now yielding an  impressive synthesis of their opposing temperaments. Both artists are  longtime resident of this extraordinary experimental Live/Work non-profit  artist community.  

SPACE 124 is a more recent manifestation of the ARTAUD Spirit, opening  up a whole new and exciting vesta of creative possibilities and services  offered to the larger ARTS Community. PHIL & BERN extend their deepest  THANKS & APPRECIATION for being provided with this priceless  opportunity to share the fruits of their extended collaborative creative efforts  toward realizing new states of Healing and Unification of our historically war  torn consciousness. 

SPECIAL THANKS. To Lizzy Spicuzza for her excellent management of  SPACE 124 and Benjy Young for his much appreciated technical support.
