when: 11 Feb 2025 | cost: donation | address: 34 7th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, United StatesOn the 6th show of our Roar Shack Live! season, The Living Earth Show is honored to present M. Lamar's "Machines & Other Intergalactic Technologies Of The Spirit."
Machines & Other Intergalactic Technologies Of The Spirit is a performance by composer, keyboardist, and vocalist M. Lamar, the experimental music duo The Living Earth Show (guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson), and video artist Sabin Calvert. Drawing from the Black Futurist philosophy of revolutionary musician and thinker Sun Ra, M. Lamar’s work imagines the birth of new technologies that address the various failings of contemporary society. Like Sun Ra, M. Lamar looks to the mystical traditions and astrophysical conceptions of the past as a way to transcend our current societal landscape and provide a path towards liberation. For M. Lamar, this transcendence comes through music, a process he seeks to awaken within the listener.
M. Lamar is a composer who works across opera, metal, performance, video, sculpture and installation to craft sprawling narratives of radical becomings. Lamar holds a BFA from The San Francisco Art Institute and attended the Yale School of Art, sculpture program, before dropping out to pursue music.
