The Eyes of Chaos Foundation was founded in 1994 by Phil Lesh, Gary Lambert and David Gans to foster the creation and exposure of new music. It is an outgrowth of "Eyes of Chaos/Veil of Order," which began as a monthly radio show on listener-sponsored KPFA in Northern California aimed at presenting the artists and composers have been supported by the Rex Foundation, of which Lesh is a board member. The Rex Foundation (PO Box 2204, San Anselmo CA 94960) has been funded primarily by proceeds from benefit concerts by the Grateful Dead and addresses a broad range of urgent humanitarian concerns. The Eyes of Chaos Foundation draws its funding from many sources to support its mission of funding the composition, recording and presentation of challenging and deserving new forms of music that might otherwise be unable to find an audience. "Music that falls into the cracks between the genres" is one way of describing it. A national radio series based on the KPFA broadcasts is planned for free distribution to the public radio system in 1996. All artist's royalities from ETERNITY BLUE will be donated to the Eyes of Chaos Foundation. Eyes of Chaos Foundation |
