Flotsam Suite: a strange & precarious life, or how we chronicled the little disasters & i won’t leave the dance floor til it’s out of my system
In S⋆an’s words, Flotsam Suite embraces the sadder and sometimes dramatic parts of life as an auto-fiction, a necessary tantrum, a playful dark-inside joke, and is “a constant return to music and letting myself be 17 again for the first time.” Flotsam Suite emerges from S⋆an’s meditations on the church, the club, emo, math rock, and noise shows, collapsing sermons and raves to see how they’re all similar — the illegible but articulated space for community. S⋆an emulates these sacred spaces to create in their own work a “safe space for us to scream, to be very quiet”. Flotsam Suite is a collection of eight poems, a photo, and photogram lovingly printed by Jessica Peterson of The Southern Letterpress at Antenna’s Paper Machine in New Orleans, Louisiana. – Peradam
