December 1st, 2009: I send another email to Peter Joseph requesting the interview...

December 5th: "...fine- I'll give you 2 hrs. I'm in Bushwick..." P

My name is Peter Joseph. I live in Brooklyn, New York. I'm 31 years old.

I am an independant film maker and I suppose the de facto founder of an organisation called;

As far as my background, I was born to what I consider to be a middle class family.

My father was a... is now a retired postal employee,

and my mother is a retired Child Protective Services employee.

In fact, a lot of my social dispositions on society I think might come from

the experiences I had listening to the stories coming from my mother.

I started getting interested in music I think at about eight or nine.

I seemed to fall into a love of percussion and drums and rhythm.

I was very lucky to be accepted to a school in North Carolina,

which allowed me to grow up in a very different upbringing

in a rural town in a place in the south such as North Carolina.

And I was exposed to a lot of different cultures, a lot of different interests,

a lot of things that you wouldn't find in a typical highschool, say, in the south.

I was exposed to a large variety of people

and artistic and creative people, specifically,

which I think imprinted on me, so to speak,

Music and percussion are coupled straight into my identity.

People say to me: "Well, you know, you work with this social organisation,

but yet, you're just a musician". You know,  "just a musician".

There is the credentialism tendency that comes up a lot

with anyone that talks about the issues that we talk about in the movement

or that have been talked about in the films.

And, we can talk about that a little bit later as well.

But, what I'd like to say is that, I look at music now as a form of meditation.

It's something that's an outlet, it maintains my balance.

So I continue to practice in a very personal sense,

it's not that I go out and perform that much anymore,

After my second year of college, I dropped out

realizing that the debt that I was accruing was absolutely not worth it.

Even then I knew there was something wrong with going to school,

getting a ridiculous amount of debt, $80 to $100,000

and then being thrown into the work force,

automatically in a position of indentured servitude, if you will.

Automatically having to give yourself to the system because you're already in so much debt.

My original interest was to be a solo classical marimbist,

a laughable concept when I think about it now,

but we all have our bouts of naivety as we grow.

Once music became difficult for me to pursue as a career choice,

I started to get into video and editing, and I got a job in New York,

many jobs in New York, doing various freelance video editing,

shooting, whatever related to video work, film work.

You have to do whatever pays you in this society,

and I couldn't really find the niche to make money in music so, I ended up in advertising.

I always had a problem with people telling me what to do in the labor force,

and I did not like advertising, obviously.

I did not like the nonsensical manipulation of peoples' perceptions so corporations can sell their crap.

So I began to pursue work in the financial arena.

I began to do day trading, pattern training.

I was moderately succesful. I never had a  big capital base, which you really do have to have.

and I continued to do it on and off for many, many years.

I don't do it anymore because I despise the market system.

The way I justified this was it was the only job I could come up with,

that didn't have a boss or a client, so it represented freedom to me.

Granted, trading the stock market has absolutely no social relevance,

You could blow up Wall Street tomorrow and it wouldn't make a damn difference to anything

in regard to the natural order of affairs on this planet.

So at that stage in my life, I just wanted a way out.

I wanted to not have to deal with being a slave to the corporate system anymore.

So anyway, that's when I started first investigating economics,

and we can... I'm sure you have other questions about that, so I'll stop there.

and I had a huge percussion setup in the middle where I performed,

with the videos that were on the two screens.

Some of the equipment you see here was used.

I've actually sold off most of my equipment.

But regardless... I think I have some photographs I can give you.

There's only a few that actually were captured, believe it or not, at the original event.

I wish I had documented the original event,

But never the less,  it started off as a creative work,

a variation on an early vaudevillian concept.

And once it was over, you know there was a...
