yup, Billy from Smashing Pumpkins
outside Chicago, a tea room he owns in fact
On 2//28 Billy will be doing a show at @ZuZusTeahouse; start time noon, and due to nature of performance it will last 8-9 hours. Show will be centered around an ambient/musical interpretation of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha; built by modular synthesis, on the fly. Readings of the text to go hand in hand with whatever is created; + the first @Hexistential poster, special elixir tea, and event t-shirts too

Surely he's heard of Between's "Hesse Between Music", much in the same vein?

This is as refreshing to hear about as when Garth Brooks did that non-country album. More rock stars need to get experimental every now and then.
Musically, maybe not so hot, but artistically it's fantastic.

Ugh! I can't imagine such a thing. But it's just as well as Hesse is a writer I just lost interest in. Read somewhere a couple of his books were pro-fascist anyways...
