Sculpture Artist Mark Dotzler Seeks Truth

MEDIA ROOTS- Mark Dotzler is an American born sculpture artist who has exhibited with professors from Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Art and has site-specific artwork in the The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. Although Mark had known for years that the events of 9/11 weren’t properly investigated by the US government or corporate controlled media, he only turned his creative attention to 9/11 after becoming increasingly concerned about the level of self-censorship and blanket demonization of those simply asking questions. 

Prior to 9/11, Mark Dotzler spent years learning about the properties and technical behavior of metals while working in high-end custom metal fabrication under a master-craftsman. Coming from such a deep understanding of the characteristics of metal, he had problems reconciling the government’s narrative on the three WTC towers’ destruction. Dotzler’s 9/11 artwork reflects the discrepancies between his findings and the government’s official explanation.

 

“The Split”, mixed media, 2010

The Split is a simple yet effective piece that addresses the collapse of WTC Building 7, a building that fell into its own footprint yet was not struck by a plane at 5:20 that day. According to Mark, “The Split” chiefly refers to the split in the seam of reality that occurred on 9/11. Note: the blue iPod screen with the “2″ is running a countdown timer program. 

 

“ll”, mixed media, 2011

Mark created the piece “ll” for the historic Toronto Hearings, a series of international, independent hearings on the events of September 11. “ll” is a minimal representation of the twin towers using 6′ high stacks of documents. The piles of paperwork represent the voluminous amount of hard evidence that has been collected by highly accredited scientists and researchers from around the world that directly contradict the official government narrative of the attacks. The document stacks resemble the number “11” as well as the twin towers, symbolizing the Toronto “Eleven” Hearings.

MR Music – Goldsmithing For Electro Orchestrations

Media Roots Music – Goldsmithing For Electro Orchestrations by Fluorescent Grey by Media Roots

MEDIA ROOTS- There are only a handful of electronic or synthesizers musical acts associated with film and movie scores. Clockwork Orange and The Shining’s Wendy Carlos comes to mind as does Tangerine Dream’s memorable scores for Risky Business and The Keep. One brilliant composer who is heavily revered in the world of orchestral film music, yet rarely mentioned amid discussions of film scores is Jerry Goldsmith. Goldsmith began as an auteur who strived to emulate the likes of Bernard Hermann and later he become a workhorse for Hollywood.

In time he started experimenting with exotic instruments and tried weaving them into a traditional orchestra aesthetic. Two years before Delia Derbeishire made the legendary “synthesizer” (which really was tape splice cutups, not synthesizer) theme for Dr. Who, Goldsmith had incorporated a Hammond Novachord into his theme song for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (the last song in this mix).

In the 70s Goldsmith was already beginning to toy with synthesizers, but he didn’t make a fully synthesized score until the film Logan’s Run. His use of strange instruments and synthesizers make brief appearances on some of his earlier scores such as Star Trek the Motion Picture, but when his collaborations with Joe Dante peaked (Goldsmith became Dante’s right hand man akin to Spielberg’s use of John Williams), electronic elements were incorporated into almost every score he made from 1981-87. The results were profound: the samples from Gremlins, Explorers, Psycho II, Poltergeist, Outland in this mix exhibit a mystical hybrid of classical symphony and synthesizer music that has never been replicated since.

We went Goldsmithing for electronic music and this is what we found, so kick back and enjoy a relaxing journey of nostalgic childhood treats from none other than Jerry Goldsmith.
