A boxed set of cassette and companion book of poetry and drawings. Synthesist and filmmaker Sean Hellfritsch and author-illustrator Rob Moss Wilson met in 2008 while constructing a treefort together in Santa Cruz, California. Rob was invited to intern on a property where Sean was busying his hands with permaculture and animal husbandry, but after just a brief time working together the two realized each other's ability to cultivate forts of a more abstract nature. From that point forward, the structures they built would be made of sound, language, light, and spirit culminating in Big Lunch, a union of spoken-word poetry, ambient composition, and pen-and-ink drawings that weds Hellfritsch's bubbly, revitalizing synth work to Wilson's emotionally honest, casually profound poems and drawings. When taken as a purely auditory journey, Big Lunch is a succession of koan- like musings delivered in Wilson's unpretentious tone, which is both deepened and given levity by Hellfritsch's sonic water coloring. Wilson's words meet us right where we are: the dirt-spatter on our cars, the push-pull of grocery store impulses, standout joggers clad in blue jeans, and any number of modern niceties that become hilarious and humbling when simply noticed. In fact, noticing these details might be Wilson's superpower. Recognizing this knack throughout years of friendship, Hellfritsch and partner Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith put themselves up to the task of capturing the literary side of Big Lunch -- which was first printed as a standalone book of writings and drawings a few years back.
