Well, with my films, we don't usually know until the end. My main argument is that the film was the outgrowth of Paul and I taking LSD. The film began with a song written during the trip and took three months to complete. I'd say that it was a two-pronged idea: 1. Getting Paul and I to a point where we felt like we were beyond falsity. 2. Deconstructing the visual effect of LSD in order to dissolve barriers to enlightenment.
It's also a way of dumping our shared traumas onto others. My friend Sai is keen on Anthony Sutton and psychotronics; I think that's bullshit, but I think that music really can cause those types of effects on people (that's proven). Our collaboration helps people get in the groove and chat mentally. While the film is verbal, it does create non-verbal synchrony. My view is that psychedelic hallucinations are the product of interoception. We look inside our bodies, and we find the inner world. Our images came from my mind, and I imposed them on the audience with songs.
