We are the Phase Collective. Hi. You are looking at the premier issue of
Phase Magazine, our quarterly digital publication which brings you visual
and written experiences in the areas of whatever. The Phase Collective
was conceived in 2005 as a freely creative outlet for its founders and
contributors, and we hope to keep things fresh and ever-evolving. This
publication will anchor the Phase Collective’s endeavors as we explore
new ways to bring our latest Phase to the rest of the world—in print,
interactive, audio, underground, and experiential media.
phase01 brainstorm
Phase01 is Brainstorm. Ideas, free-flowing thoughts, visual wanderings,
lists and brain-dumps. Anything at all remotely related to the idea of
the brainstorm. Or not. In our premier issue, we asked our contributors
to start with ‘brainstorm’ and take it anywhere from there...

Band Quotes:
“We used to have white paint on our hands all the time,” says White Rose Movement vocalist
Finn Vine. “And people thought it was this
clique‑y band thing where we’d dip out fingers in white paint.”
“Yeah,” continues guitarist Jasper Milton. “We
were a painting and decorating team for a while.
That’s how we kept the band going. We grafted
all the time in between rehearsals. We finally
managed to give it up last year when we got
signed to Independiente.” Band Website:

“If I say ‘phenomenon’ it sounds like I’m right up

Band Quotes:
“One morning, about 4am I woke up with the words
’Vector Lovers’ floating around my head and realised
I’d found a name that reflected both the computerised,
synthetic aspect of the music as well as the romantic
melodic side. This was in early 2002..”
“I was a big fan of electronic pop—Kraftwerk and
Depeche Mode, and even Alphaville. There was
something pristine about synthpop—it sounded
futuristic and promised a utopian technological
breakthrough—for the first time, sequencers and
synthesizers allowed people to record melodies and
rhythms that they couldn’t actually play by hand...it was
a triumph of imagination over technique and tradition.
I feel grateful to those behind the technology—they
have opened up so many possibilities. Without it I
would still be sitting down strumming three chords out
of my guitar... maybe no bad thing, but I’m not the best
guitarist. Sequencers make us all equal.” Band Website:

The
Kooks
“Bands tend to do one thing and then stick to it” Luke says,
constructing a roll-up beneath a tangle of Syd Barrett-esque
curls.“With The Kooks we plan to do the opposite. When there’s
so much music to explore, why limit yourself?”
“We all write songs and all love loads of different music so we
argue a lot about how and what to play” continues Luke.
“That’s what rehearsing is about for us. But because of the way
Max and Hugh play there’s a soul and reggae feel to what we do
which is vital. We’re a groove rock’n’roll band who want to make
people dance...”
“I want the album to include all types of music, no genres
excluded” continues Luke, another long afternoon of
rehearsals ahead.“From Bobby Womack to The Clash!” beams
Max.“Everyone just pulls their own instrument in the direction
they want and somehow it ends up okay, there’s only ever a few
punch-ups along the way!”

What does it feel like to be on
DAYTIME TELEVISION? Ok, have you ever
sat down in a really
nice leather chair?
You know the kind, with a matching
ottoman, that is made from some
exotic animals hide and costs more
than your car? The kind that just
suck you in and make you feel like
pondering life or anything your brain
can come up with to keep you in that
chair because it feels so good. That
is pretty much what it feels like to be
on a soap except while your sitting
in that chair your memorizing the
46 pages of dialogue you have to
prepare in just under 18 hours. But,
it is by far the sweetest job I have ever
had...although not as sweet as Jack
Nicholson’s gig, but even he had to
start somewhere.
ROAD
trip
I
t’s late in the afternoon and I’m
thinking it seems strange to be able to
get from a place like Los Angeles to one
such as San Francisco in only half a day.
We just got the good news that Mark’s twin,
Mike, will be flying into the Oakland Airport
to meet us on a last minute weekend road
trip. The Wystrach twins are famous for
their road trips. If you ever get a chance to
travel with them, I highly recommend it.
You’ll always walk away with a great story.
This time we are celebrating Mark’s debut
as the permanent replacement for a main
character on NBC’s soap opera, ‘Passions’.
I finally get the FM transmitter locked in
thru the radio and am running thru my new
favorite playlists on my iPod in between
Mark’s mobile calls. It hit’s me while staring
at the road that this would be the perfect
time to conduct an informal interview of
one of my best friends, who has just hit his
stride on his way to stardom. The following
blue type reflects my feeble attempt to
transcribe our conversation as we barreled
down Interstate 5 just outside Bakersfield,
California, in Mark’s newly acquired 1981
Cadillac Coup de Ville. 5 more.
Have you ever heard about that book that Jeff
Bridges published? I wanna do the same thing.
It was an autobiography with photos. He takes
those shots where he just reaches out and snaps
the photo himself.
So Mark, how long have you been acting?
Look at the colors of the clouds!
The sky is dark to the east but dispersed
clouds are breaking the light beautifully to
towards the west. Mark is driving with his
knee and taking photos at the same time.
We start to swerve so I grab the wheel and
after about fifteen shots he appears to be
done until a particularly glorious patch of
sunlight breaks thru the clouds.
“Wheel! One more time!”
Counting auditioning...one year. Consistently?
One month, two weeks. My life is seeming more
cinematic in general. I’ve been really happy
lately. There’s joy in doing what you love, ya
know? Since about 5th grade I remember
wanting to be an actor. But I’ve been gaining
confidence lately and the world is feeling really
accessible now. It’s nice to not have to do the
modeling and restaurant gig any longer. I’m
finally focusing on the career I want. Don’t get
me wrong, I do respect the blue collar. I’ve been
there and done that for work to get by. But the
kind of mechanical work I was doing felt easy.
I’ve always been drawn to a greater challenge.
It’s been a humbling path. But life indeed,
is what you make of it. I mean not to get all
hallmark but it really isn’t where you start but
where you finish... or maybe it’s actually really
about enjoying the trip?
Faithless’ hit Insomnia is now blaring thru
the lo-fi FM connection from an iPod which
has the front right speaker rattling.
Don’t you think it sort of adds to the experience
of the road trip?
Yeah, in a weird sorta way. So tell me about
your contract.
3 years.
And what’s next?
FILM. For sure. That’s the goal. That seems like
the biggest challenge.
but I’m not really focusing on other peoples
opinion. I just want to focus on getting it done.
And I do appreciate all the great support I’ve
received. I’ve gotten so much.
This is your way of getting to film?
Have you gotten any fan mail yet?
Oh yeah. That’s the next step. Then I’ll be one
step closer to finding my peace. Not that I’m
any where close to settling down. I mean, right
now I feel like a little kid.”
Oh yeah! I got about eight letters. I sent out
some headshots. I’ve been writing them back
personally. There was this kid that wrote me
who has aids. I guess he likes to ask celebrities
for autographs. It’s trippy. It feels like
unwarranted praise right now.
So you’re serious about this acting business?
Were some people were doubtful that you’d
follow thru?
Yes. It does feel good to be part of that top
percent of working actors. It’s been a challenging
goal. You have to have to have a certain attitude
Did you write him back?
Yeah and he’s written again already.
You know, I didn’t think the soaps would be as
interesting... I mean it’s weird but good. I’ve
been spending down time on set to learn as
much as possible. Sometimes it’s hard to make
the material feel right. It’s crazy. You have
to suspend reality for a bit. It’s good to bring
humor to the set.
How much leeway do they give you with the
script?
The sky is getting darker. Headlights are
now on. No more sunglasses. I just queued
up Arctic Monkeys on the iPod.
Hey are you on myspace?
Uh... no. Why? Should I be?
I just thought of it because I heard that’s
how the Arctic Monkeys made it big.
Hmm.
They let you get away with something here
and there, but you can’t just rewrite it. I call it,
‘living in the moment’.
This is fun. I feel like I’m learning a lot about
myself by talking about this.
Well sign up as a friend of PHASE
MAGAZINE on there if you do get an
account.
OK. Maybe.
STORM
brain
What does it feel like to drive a
1981 CADILLAC COUP DE VILLE?
Ok, have you ever sat
down in a really nice
leather chair?
(refer to first question) Now put wheels on
it. That’s what it feels like, like driving your
living room around town—it’s pure luxury
bro—it drives like a good single malt scotch.
And since buying that whip, metaphors like
the prior have suddenly become a part of my
prose and I like it. Plus, every single valet
guy in town thinks I’m the tits!

Typography has always been a muse of sorts for me.
After completing my first typogrpahic compositions as an
undergraduate sophomore, I have been charmed by the
ways in which letter forms, symbols for phonetic sounds,
can be restructured, redesigned, and reinterpreted. Most of
my design begins with typography, and that may include
something as simple as selecting and ‘specing’ a typeface
or creating exploratory typographic collages. Currently I
am finishing up my M.F.A. thesis at the University of Iowa,
in Iowa City, where I am looking into the ways in which
absurd time constraints lead to discovery, through chance
and serendipity (using typogrpahy of course). Visit
