When Mae met Dali: the story behind eclectic acrylic.
We start with Mae. Mae who won't reveal how he and Dali met came to the painter with an idea to fuse two art forms into one. Music and art.
Dali believed that music was a 3rd rate art form and rejected the collaborative idea almost instantly.( it's important to know that even though Dali rejected the idea of working with Mae they remained friends throughout dalis life)
Sad but understanding, Mae opted to do the project himself. He had wit held the truth from Dali that he had the ability to summon things...be it spirits energies etc.
With this in mind, Mae realized that he could summon dalis creative spirit and create the wanted effect of a surrealist music project without ever having the physical Dali in the room.( this is the most broad way to put the albums creative vision)
The most intriguing moment of the Dali project will be "saturns ring disposal" episode.
Saturns ring disposal is a vital part to the Dali project and the story goes like this.
roughly around the 2nd half of dalis life, he had become so involved in science and mathematics that he created a device that would allow traveling of the Astros. Mae who had been deeply intrigued by space spent much of his life creating a metaphorical device that would allow him to "space travel" or getaway. According to Mae, his music was the getaway.
Needless to say, Mae diddnt mind the thought of traveling to space. Dali agreed to let Mae visit his home planet saturn. Upon arrival Mae was satisfied with the surroundings. After what seemed like no time at all it was time to return to planet earth. Turns out there were stipulations regarding getting home. Fact is. In order for mae to return to earth he had to remove all burdens and current stress that had held him down in order for the device to work properly. When all negativity was disposed of..sat urns rings would disappear and Mae could then return home.
The end results in mae returning in earth in time to finish the Dali project just as Dali was taking his last breath. Maes original recordings are said to be hidden in the Dali castle. Dalis death obviously prevented him from any approval of the finished product.
