We pause today to remember the late great Col Bruce Hampton, ret. on the two year anniversary of his passing. His wisdom, his humor, and his permission are a driving force for us to continue our work here at Ropeadope, and we cannot possibly overstate his influence. His intent and ours moved together for a few short years, and we strive every day to honor him by pressing on in the service of art and outrageous creative experimentation. Thank You Bruce, it’s chaos down here, same as it ever was.

For those readers who are not familiar, please set aside some time to dig into the man, the art, the music, and the inspiration. You can find the movie right here, the trailer here, and the music right here.
