Chicago’s own Willis Earl Beal just announced that he will be going on a North American tour in September. He also plans to debut his new animated film called Principles of a Protagonist.
Beal’s animated film started out as a novella in zine from, which he sold for $5. He then turned the zine into a 48-page bonus when you purchased his album Acousmatic Sorcery. Come this September, it will be remade on his website with an interactive feature of live recordings.
