No One Conquered, Wyoming


During the reign of the ancient redwood giants, the solar body vega became one unto itself so that, solidly standing, she placed her daring head blazing open on the infinite sky. as the crystals confirmed it, the forest erupted into celebration and the lord loosened the tongues of the animals and they spoke crying: holy! holy! holy! and vega, burning and pressed up in darkness, looked and saw that it was good.

no one conquered, wyoming is the mystical humanist project of wagner israel cilio iii. guided by the minimalist concepts of bricolage, pastiche, and mythography, the project works to make music entirely from second-hand, re-appropriated, recycled, and liberated instruments while also drawing from american mythology and tradition. the idea of re-employing discarded objects and so-called obsolete forms doubles the project as a metaphor for conservation and resourcefulness to a generation of earth-dwellers poised on the edge of ecological and spiritual suicide. the end result is a carousel of images swirling in magic, mystery, and light.
