SEEKING
Other.ABOUT
New to Victoria, interested in hooking up with other artists for wigged out performance and audio experimentation. I'm especially interested in meeting people who have home recording studios (lo-fi analog, simple digital, whatever) or who would like to do musical performance art. Please listen to my music, watch my videos and investigate my history and influences before contacting me. Entheonauts, kraut rockers, non-musicians, persons with absolutely no interest in the "music industry," escaped mental patients, Euro trash, Japanese exchange students, cat lovers, occultists and weirdos encouraged to apply. Indie rockers who lack cynicism are okay, too.

jody franklin is a multidisciplinary artist based in Victoria, British Columbia. He was once heralded a "renaissance man" by a contemporary trying to describe his forays into writing, film/video, performance art, music, visual art and various other media.
These days, he co-publishes and edits MungBeing, a unique online magazine of art, literature and ideas. He’s been performing and recording music with the legendary, lovable and eccentric band July Fourth Toilet since 1994. His soon-to-be-published novella I Was A Teenage Communist was a finalist in the 2006 3-Day Novel Contest. He recently joined Victoria’s notorious 30 Cent Players sketch comedy troupe as a performer and writer. jody is also an award-winning experimental filmmaker and film producer, a co-founding editor/publisher of The Misfit Library literary journal, a Burning Man acolyte, and a Cacophonist propagating the “Santarchy As Postmodern Saturnalia” meme.
While rejecting the term "outsider artist," he nevertheless considers himself an "outsider human being."
