From a yet unreleased poetry & music night hosted by ‘Macchiarini Creative Design Jewelry and sculpture’ on Grant Avenue in San Francisco – Mark Brazil and Morgan Vallat delivering an original song called ‘Blackwater’.
“The song touches on a few things — war, life under capitalism and oppressive rules, as well as dealing with rising paranoia. Blackwater is, as a whole, about some things I have experienced and some of the ways that society has told us we have to live in order to be successful.” – M. Brazil
Macchiarini Creative Design Jewelry and sculpture’ offers classes for metal work in addition to custom artwork.
