the epic return of SOLAR SHADOWS

Karthik Kakarala, poet and harmonic provocateur, resurrects his "Solar Shadows" mantle, fashioning a startlingly new musical identity from the once defunct moniker.

In the provided clip, Mr. Kakarala prepares himself for the warrior role, but the "Sunshadow" poet conditions his metaphors as well as his body. Will his strength of mind and body resound in 2009?

Stay tuned!

word

[karthikkakarala]

It's a Guitar Hero toy (free cereal prize?). three fret buttons and a "strum" bar, with a little speaker on the back.

[karthikkakarala]

It's a drum trigger being basically used as a contact mic, thrown over the built-in speaker of that little toy.

Is that a stethoscope???

I'll give you this, you really do find creative ways to make sounds

What is that little pink thing? Is it a toy guitar? Anyway, a nice, rhapsodic piece of videography, Tom (or should I call you Izzy?)... the ceiling fan is a nice touch.
