information
Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade, an offshoot of FDMTC Gesselschaft, can and does whereof the fifth order comfortably sits. Viewing a competitive collaboration as an opportunity to withstand withal without worry, the original of Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade orients the careful listener not away from the Bildungsroman of individuation, while seeking a formalizing of the ambience available to the uniquely positioned, observationally-demonstrative focus of the modern day.
Enhancement as expectation; every offer an outreach of altitude, Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade can, and will, lay the foundation for a heightened expectation, satisfying even the direst need, and the measure on offer valuably precedes the crypto-need for a less grievous outcome.
Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade does what others only espouse: enfold without suffocate, support without launch, buttress without dogma and, as always, amplify without distortion.
Let Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade settle those legacy turbidities, a new clarity is always on option.
Five Day Miracle Tent Crusade: If You Have It, We Will Give It To You.

training
Fives are about loss, learning, and change. A hard loss that carries with it a lesson and an important change. The idea of the fives seems to be that loss is important if things are going to push past the status quo to something new, different, or better. The reversed meaning does not, necessarily, turn loss into gain...
Zero is where it all begins,
Curve down around and up again.
Number one is so much fun,
Pull straight down and you’ve got a one.
Number two is easy to do,
Up around down and across makes two.
Number three is simple to see,
Draw two humps sideways and that’s a three.
Number four I do adore,
Go down, across, then down some more.
We’ve reached 5, now let’s not stop,
Pull down, circle round, put a hat on top.
One - Two - Three - Four - 5
data
Edward W. Dahl
Born in Heidelberg, Germany, Dahl makes installations and conceptual artwork by applying abstraction and avoiding reference to form. Results are deconstructed, meaning is shifted and interpretation necessarily becomes multifaceted. Creating confusion, Dahl corrals intensity by means of rule and omission, acceptance and refusal, and lures a viewer in, in circles.
Using allegorical tools to maneuver a pseudo-minimalist approach in installation art, his meticulously planned works resonate with images culled from imagination. A subtly minimal touch creates tangible statements of new clarity. Aloof and systematic, a cool and neutral imagery foments a touchingly beautiful yet painfully orphaned mix of conflicting thought and feeling.
Dahl is an artist, musician, designer, and educator. He is the owner of After Science, a visual design and production company, and has been a design instructor at San Francisco's Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) 1998-2024. A member of FIDM's Faculty Hall of Fame, Dahl was chosen Instructor of the Year 2001 thru 2018. He and his team produce some of San Francisco's most elaborate and beloved large-scale holiday installations incorporating his extensive experience in design, fabrication, installation, and visual merchandising.
His groundbreaking electronic music/performance art project SpacEKrafT performed throughout the SF/Bay Area, including the De Young Museum and the Yerba Buena Center For The Arts, and is featured on the soundtrack for the acclaimed documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune". His music/performance group Lopsided Space Kart has been sampled by seminal electronic music pioneers Cluster. He also composed music for the soundtrack of “Louder Than You Think” a documentary about Gary Young, the original drummer for the band Pavement.
Dahl has amassed numerous recording, production and performance credits including: Terminal Boredom, CRLLL, Lopsided Space Kart, SpaceEKrafT, Schlampenschlepper, Opaque, Jane Wiedlin, Eenor, Channel 23, Gary Young's Hospital, Torn Boys, DaDa 96, Criblife, Oy Vague, Beyond-O-Matic, Cluster, The Noodles, Planet Booty, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Cooking with Kurt, Ilanio, Vanilla Butt Shake, Time Squared, biL, Doormouse, Jay Young Kim, PornOrchestra, Moe!

David Gresalfi
Gresalfi grew up on the leafy north shore of Long Island, New York, in a creative art-rich environment, discovering a love of audio manipulation in his early teens after taking possession of his dad’s reel to reel tape recorder and in collaborations with brother Neil Gresalfi (Thud Rock/Thorn Apples) and other associates on a wide variety of avant-pop music and soundtracks. Gresalfi studied film and video with Ken Jacobs and Ralph Hocking and collaborated with Larry Gottheim and Vincent Grenier on experimental films. He co-founded alternative music collectives Jack Survives and Music Of The First Ward with Ray St. Denis, creating sounds inspired by the post-industrial surroundings of Binghamton, NY. After relocating to the Bay Area, he continued making music and visuals with groups including Beyond-O-Matic, Opaque and SpacEKrafT. He has created music videos for many bands including Shiva Burlesque, Torn Boys, Broken Toys, Leslie Medford and Mommyheads.
