Techmark Artist Madama Bubuluskiaa, known to all her friends as "Bubulu", is an agapornis.
Her people came originally from the coastal desert of Namibia. Many of them have settled here in the United States in the area around Prescott, Arizona, where the climate is much like that of their native land. Madama is a Mid-Westerner, born in Chicago, and a product of the finest university district schools and schooling.
Madama is a multi-talented artist, with focuses in dance, in song, and in musical composition and performance. Her early studies were in the physical sciences with a major in applied materials analysis, but she quickly became interested in oscillating systems and from there in systems that can be used in music and performance art.
One of her many as yet unpublished videos shows her demonstrating how energy can be passed from one oscillating element to another in a closely linked system. A mathematician as well, in another video she uses paper tapes of her own devising to demonstrate the Turing Theorem, that all complexity can be reduced to linear binary streams without loss.
In dance, she has studied since childhood the formal classical dance postures of her people, in which one leg is raised as a wing is spread while the artist pauses in contemplation. Her modern evocation of these ancient rites freshens the mix with improvisation - each posture is new and different. Her "Zell Miller", for example, parodies the screaming eagleitarian spirit of this conservative hood ornament, just as her "Who, me?" asks a question expressed both by Alfred E. Neumann and the former President. With grace and elegance, each new pose is never like the last.
Her musical skills are most marked. Surrounded by instruments of expression since early childhood when someone put an empty toilet-paper roll in her cage and she played "tunnel", she turns every thing she touches into a source of good vibrations. Her skills on the tabor & bell have been recorded, and her "Concerto for Triplebell," from her record, "Bubulu Plays The Taj Mahal," has been chosen by top studio brass for use as a video soundtrack in another new Techmark production.
Buble keeps herself busy around the studio moving furniture and - her secret hobby - making beer. Her frequent visitor keeps her gifted with millet bouquets and fruit primitifs, and life for her is rich and full.
