Expedition is a collaboration between sound artist The Dead Mauriacs (aka Olivier Prieur) and collage artist Evan Crankshaw, based on their mutual interest in treating exotica as both a subject and a material. Evan Crankshaw's 2015 collage book, also entitled Expedition, is assembled and collaged by hand from a vast archive of popular exoticist printed materials, and explores recurring motifs in expedition narratives, simultaneously evoking and alienating the exoticist fantasy. In 2018, the book was interpreted for a live performance at Festival BBMix in collaboration with The Dead Mauriacs, who created a complete exotica-concrète score accompanying projected images of the book and live narration. That collaboration can be heard on this album, an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of an imagined actual elsewhere, stitched from pieces of narcotizing fabulisms, disturbing actualities, and incomprehensibilities -- an interior excursion into the exotic immensity. Evan Crankshaw is a collage artist residing in North Carolina and the host of Explorers Room on WFMU's Give The Drummer Radio. The Dead Mauriacs' music is a journey into post-industrial landscapes, concrete exotica, Ballardian dystopia: a joyful nightmare. It is Olivier Prieur's art and music project. Gatefold CD sleeve.
