About the music:
“Angus MacLise was the Velvet Underground’s first drummer. He withdrew when he found out that at a paying job he had to start and stop playing when told to. No one told Angus to stop playing. So the job of a working musician was impossible for Angus, and he taught us all a lesson about purity of spirit.” — Lou Reed
“Check out the primitive, burnt drone of 'Druid’s Leafy Nest' from Dreamweapon III” – Altered Zones
“… MacLise was a living link connecting the Beats, the Fluxus and the Factory scenes, and the hippies.” — Flavorwire
But MacLise's most important work had only just begun. Jumping from one seminal scene to another, MacLise produced spiritually immense art in solitude and collaborated with 1960s art groups like Fluxus (George Maciunas, Yoko Ono), the Theatre of the Ridiculous, and underground filmmaker and exoticist Jack Smith. As a publisher, MacLise worked with the likes of Paul Bowles, Charles Henri Ford, Gregory Corso and Diane Di Prima among others. On Summer Solstice 1979, MacLise died in Kathmandu, and was cremated in the fashion of Tibetan Buddhist funerary rites.
A suitcase of Angus MacLise’s artwork, publications, and manuscript as well as more than 100 hours of recorded music was left with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela for safe-keeping forty years ago. This extraordinary time-vault was the foundation of the Dreamweapon series of records.
Dreamweapon III features previously unreleased recordings by MacLise and composer Tony Conrad.
