video shot/cut by Kevin DuffeyArt and rock world interlopers, instigators of DIY cultural collisions, restless experimenters in search of new stories and ways of sharing stories through sound.The sound of Slow Six is the sound of life-long musicians sounding out a room together. Simultaneously \"hands-on\" and \"machine-age\", amplified strings, guitars, a fender Rhodes, and drums are often joined by homegrown software \"instruments\" used to process their sound while played on-stage beside them. Live radio and TV broadcasts are common within these sonic textures and tangled rhythms, acting as unknowing collaborating vocalists from afar. Part-writing this detailed exposes a background in the world of modern classical music, leaning on NYC\'s post-minimalist heritage while their electrified, live energy projects the palpable drive of a long-running band with deep indie roots.Slow Six has released two full-length records to critical success. No other group has achieved the breadth of cultural reach their unique discography describes. 2007\'s \"Nor\'easter\" from New Albion puts Slow Six among the most prestigious of art-music pioneers, including John Cage, Arvo Part, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and countless other New Albion heavyweights. Their 2004 CD \"Private Times in Public Places\" shares a label (Western Vinyl) with some of the most beautiful and adventurous indie music today including Dirty Projectors and Bexar Bexar. Since 2000, Slow Six have stunned festival crowds including Minnesota\'s SPARK Festival of Electronic Music and Art and Brooklyn Academy of Music\'s Next Wave Festival. They continue to sell-out club dates at the finest NYC venues including Joe\'s Pub and The Knitting Factory. They have sold-out runs at The Joyce SoHo Theater in collaboration with modern dancers and packed The Apple Store with their unique video-art immersed concerts. Slow Six can be found regularly on the airwaves of WNYC\'s New Sounds, WFMU, PRI\'s Echoes Program, England\'s The Chiller Cabinet, and have appeared on NPR\'s Weekend America. This fall, they begin a national tour in support of their multiple releases.

21st Century America is dangerously polarized. On Freedom's side and fighting for the Constitution are the Blue States, rebelling against the imposed "new world order" and "slavery" of the Corporate Elite controlled Red States. Is the American Experiment over? Will the Constitution be restored to all freedom loving men or will the Privitized Red Army of the Dominion States of America tramble the country from sea to shining sea? Only time will tell. (this is the preview trailer for a thirteen webisode series.)"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."AmericanNoteBook: The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. It is a constitutional republic, "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law." It is fundamentally structured as a representative democracy, though U.S. citizens residing in the territories are excluded from voting for federal officials. The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the United States Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document and as a social contract for the people of the United States. In the American federalist system, citizens are usually subject to three levels of government, federal, state, and local; the local government's duties are commonly split between county and municipal governments. In almost all cases, executive and legislative officials are elected by a plurality vote of citizens by district. There is no proportional representation at the federal level, and it is very rare at lower levels. Federal and state judicial and cabinet officials are typically nominated by the executive branch and approved by the legislature, although some state judges and officials are elected by popular vote. Politics in the United States have operated under a two-party system for virtually all of the country's history. For elective offices at all levels, state-administered primary elections are held to choose the major party nominees for subsequent general elections. Since the general election of 1856, the two dominant parties have been the Democratic Party, founded in 1824 (though its roots trace back to 1792), and the Republican Party, founded in 1854. Within American political culture, the Republican Party is considered "center-right" or conservative and the Democratic Party is considered "center-left" or liberal, but members of both parties have a wide range of views. In an August 2007 poll, 36% of Americans described themselves as "conservative," 34% as "moderate," and 25% as "liberal." On the other hand, a plurality of adults, 35.9%, identify as Democrats, 32.9% as independents, and 31.3% as Republicans. The states of the Northeast, Great Lakes, and West Coast are relatively liberal-leaning—they are known in political parlance as "blue states." The "red states" of the South and the Rocky Mountains lean conservative. Poltical demographic sources: The Associated Press Poll Conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs/Project #81-5681-13.
