Dear Mr. Frank Moore:
I am Joseph Ferrante again.
Due to the fact that you did not receive the songs I am emailing you from a different account to see if you get them from here.
I will send these 2 songs on two different emails following this one. They are my famous controversial recomposition of Hey Jude and the other is a song of mine titled Alone Again. If you do not get them this time, please go to my page:
http://bandit.mp3lizard.com/phoenixme/
and download my Hey Jude and Alone Again there. You will find the downloads at the bottom of the page. They are free downloads. On this page first you have to set it in English from the Finnish language on the upper right corner. Then when you left click on the songs you are transferred to another page. On this page you have to right click on the sentence “Right click here and select Save Target As”.Also, here you can find more information about me, comments of people, etc. Here you will also find a link to see the publishing agreement for my Hey Jude.
I hope you enjoy the songs.
Please let me know if you will include them for airplay or not.
Kind Regards:
Joseph Ferrante

Will play the two songs!

I think you should be the President of the US and if some day you are a candidate I will vote for you TWICE, one for me and another one for the other side of me.

“I’m glad I experienced a glimpse into the mind of Frank Moore, but saddened it was not much to see and little if any inspiration for anything to me.What art did you exhibit? Its a free country man, but c’mon…”
when someone reacts like this to your artistic expression , IT IS ART. its like the tree falling in the forest. this time we are certain that someone was there and THEY DID HEAR THE TREE FALL. it doesnt matter that the tree fell so close to the guy that it scared him, it fell- it was heard -and a reaction to it was a result. A deepening process ensued and the guy one way or another WILL BE DIFFERENT/changed because of it.
I know because I was one of those guys who was scared of frank and his performance. And I still stand by him 10 years later.
If you think about it, have you ever wanted to get a girls clothes off but just couldnt think of the right words to say? Well think about how hard that is for frank, HE CANT FORM WORDS ! If that is not inspiring enough. For how many centuries have painters painted nudes? Well this is a different kind of nude. Watch the performance on your computer and let the colors and bodies blend together and see the collage of brillence swirling bending blending and spilling . If the great painters of years ago saw what frank is doing they would all sit at his feet.
As a punk rocker I am always trying to find ways to get people to leave or feel disgusted or piss them off. I want people to break out of their shells/ open up to alternatives and loosen the shackles of society. Frank did that to me without hardly trying. He is a natural punk.
my two cents
peace,
John the Baker

ah, yes…his writing his email in itself refutes that he didn’t get much/anything from the piece! you and i…and most of us on THE E-SALON do culturally subversive art….not HALLMARK art. we live for such strong reactions/responses…not for polite clapping of liking.
what you say means a lot to me. visually…and musically…what the jams evoke are amazing…which have less to do with me than with the combination of people coming together in the work. and then i add my advance punk tools!

Hey Frank,
It’s Rafael-Alexandre from Montréal. Been a while :): I was “hibernating” for the past 3 month but now I’m back, in a better and improved form
Well, as I receive regularly your e-salon emails, I received the one featuring this guy Chuck.
Once, I remember seing that video of yours on Mievo or youtube that was taken out by the site for pornographic content or “violation of sites viewable content”, or something like that, can’t remember: the whole thing made me smile…It actually was bizarre, and very experimental.
You know I’m sympathetic to this kind of art, because anti-mainstream, for the rest, you can’t judge art for being what it is: it is made to destroy boundaries ( well yours is according to me ).
What I mean to say Frank, is that :
1 ) Your art doesn’t hurt anyone ( your not promoting hate or violence towards anyone or any ideals; Indecent ? Ok. But their is far worst things out there, degrading human dignity: you guys are all major, legal and consentant, where’s the problem ? )
2 ) Your destroying boundaries
3 ) BUT MOST IMPORTANT, YOUR DESTROYING PREJUDICES AGAINST PEOPLE SEEN AS OUTCASTS BY “NORMAL” ( who the hell is “normal” anyways ?, would anybody like to be “normal”, like clones, generated upon a standard of what a human being should be ideally ? ) PEOPLE.
Sure, I live in the “Matrix”, but how many people can’t see the outside of the Matrix, how many are doomed in ignorance and being sheeps all their lifes ? Too many, Frank, and too many abandoned their dreams and declared forfait and joined back the Matrix.
So I think you’re doing the right thing in pursuing this debate with Chuck.
Your performance art is not a freak show,
Courage pour la suite,
Cordialement,
Rafael
P.S Add me to your myspace page, I received the notice but couldn’t find you on the site

i love you too, steve! yep, you missed an opportunity to expand the fragile world of this guy [and of those whom he represents]! but don’t blast him yet. he offers a rare peak into how the art works, what pushes what buttons, etc. he is willing/able to enter into dialog about his responses to the work…and how they are evolving over time. most are not willing or able. so i want to pump him…and do some educating!
hey, you are welcome to play at the performance up here sat. feb. 21!
In Freedom,
Frank Moore
Hey Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate that.I knew when your associates wheeled you out that the piece wasn’t going to be mundane performance. They put the mic on you. But, you couldn’t communicate the way I am used to being communicated with. I had a flood of thoughts/emotions. compassion, sadness, empathy and when the projector started and the nude older dancers began thier “lap-dances” and, the movements of your arms,head and face it hit me. I felt sick. It was too much. A writhing contortion of nudity, eroticism combined with a man confined to a wheelchair, your body movements, head,face and arms and hands.And, your groans and sounds.That brought on the nausia. I had to look away at the wall occasionally, to keep it together.
I was revolted because i didn’t understand it and it was making me feel physically and emotionally sick.
Scarring was too much of a word. Girlfriend say I live in a world of hyperbole. So, I exaggerate sometimes.
It was a very strong piece. Yes, I am trying to work thru it. I really appreciate you writing me back.
Thank you.

chuck, i like how the performance is continuing through these emails. but don’t get in a dark alley with linda and jen…those “older women.”
so why did seeing nude “older dancers” dancing erotically with/on me evoke such powerful reactions in you…”I felt sick…brought on the nausea…I had to look away at the wall occasionally, to keep it together. I was revolted because i didn’t understand it and it was making me feel physically and emotionally sick”? was it my voice? what if the wheelchair was just a prop? was it because the dancers were “older”? would it be different if the dancers were younger? what does your girlfriend think of your reactions? what did you think of the woman from the audience who danced on me? was she “older?” how old are you?
funny…for decades i got shit for cute “younger” women around me! i also have gotten shit for having “strong” women around me…as if it was a fetish of mine! and now it’s “older” women! they are the same girls! linda has been with me for about 30 years and jen has been in my work since 2001. actually to me they are “younger women” because i’m older! it’s relative! it appears my work has started addressing issues of ageism. about time!
keep writing!

Subject: Un-Herd show listings
In reference to your show listing for KBOO’s UnHerd program.
Your performance sounds interesting. I would be happy to publicize it. Please do your part to spread your word about the show so that people in the bay area can listen to the streaming broadcast at www.kboo.fm. The show is called UnHerd at 10pm Pacific Standard Time, 1st, 4th, 5th Mondays. If I have listeners nationally, this does a great deal to promote local music everywhere. And whenever artists are touring through, I am open to being contacted.
Thanks

“…He’s wonderful and hilarious and knows exactly what it’s all about and has earned my undying respect. What he’s doing is impossible, and he knows it. That’s good art….” L.A. Weekly
Resisting “the easy and superficial descriptions…, Moore’s work challenges the consensus view more strongly in ways less acceptable than…angry tirades and bitter attacks on consumer culture.” Chicago New City
“If performance art has a radical edge, it has to be Frank Moore.” Cleveland
Edition
“Transformative…” Moore “is thwarting nature in an astonishing manner, and is fusing art, ritual and religion in ways the Eurocentric world has only dim memories of. Espousing a kind of paganism without bite and aggression, Frank Moore is indeed worth watching.” High Performance Magazine
“Surely wonderful and mind-goosing experience.” L.A. Reader
