 Jamin does deep south roots music... way down south on planet Earth in a place called Tasmania.
He performs with a variety of guitars (classical, 12-string, 5-string) combined with percussive elements and vocals.
A young man living in Hobart, Tasmania, questions life. He questions the role of humanity, as custodians of the earth, in their voracious march toward a life of luxury at the expense of the planet; and at the expense of their fellow humans. He questions religion; the role it has played in war, political corruption and the accumulation of wealth, and the function religion now plays within society. He questions politics, the art of rhetoricism and politicism that is used to obfuscate and denounce whilst the real issues are held, drowning, beneath the surface. He questions the role of the corporation, as it buys up third world countries, keeps them in debt and uses their most arable land and resources to manufacture and produce goods to sell for huge profits to it’s Western interests, whilst the inhabitants of those countries die of starvation and violence. He questions the media, it’s ties to politics and corporations, and it’s role in orchestrating the new value system of pride (status), greed (make more money), lust (sex sells), envy (keep up with the Jones’s), gluttony (fast food), anger (violence & war) and sloth (TV, still the one).
He questions why there are these questions.
The old cliché has been accepted that God is dead. We no longer fear hell or the consequence of our actions. There is no higher power to judge our actions, save the law, and the law can be bought off if one has enough wealth. In fact there is nothing, it would seem, that cannot be bought, and so Money has become the new God. Cars, houses, televisions, boats, furniture, kitchen appliances, computers, clothes and jewellery have become the idols we create in the image of the godofmoney. Though the godofmoney’s true form is abstract and hidden from us, he manifests in an endless array of consumable items to be praised and made sacred by our new value system.
It would be interesting to see what some of the pre-godofmoney spiritualists had to say about money:
How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus
One of Junaid’s followers came to him with a purse containing five hundred gold pieces. “Have you any more money than this?” asked the Sufi.
“Yes I have.”
“Do you desire more?” asked the Sufi.
“Yes I do.”
“Then you must keep it, for you are more in need than I; for I have nothing and desire nothing. You have a great deal and still want more.” Attar of Nishapur
Verily, it is the law of humanity that though one accumulates hundreds of thousands of worldly goods, one still succumbs to the spell of death. All hoardings will be dispersed, whatever rises will be cast down, all meetings must end in separation, life must finally end in death. Buddha
In fact, money has always been regarded, spiritually, as the antithesis of “God”. No wonder the modern, Western world declared God dead! It is in this time, in this space, that the entity called jamin begins to compose a manifesto for living in this post-millennial hell, where the devil happily masquerades as God and the Mother Earth is quietly smothered and drained of her most precious life.
It melts your butter like raindrops honey rainbows and sunny mist butterfly wings turning freely into bumble bee song sing sing song bird song great song melody subtle sight autumn beat chill yer bones to the bright side sugar sweetness apple eye eyes so bright so hard to hide rainbow mist surrounding me takes me into other dreams memory fade soft blue sober moments over through this orange beam smoke detector bubble drop mind hand it over. shatter.
