Biography:
Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain.
The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.
Halloween is known and loved today as a time to wear costumes, go door to door asking for candy, and watch monster movies. But the holiday's origins go back centuries to the enactment of All Saints' Day, a Christian holiday. Along the way, it has also picked up traditions from Samhain, a Celtic festival celebrating the start of winter.
There has been a backlash against Halloween by several groups in recent years. Some Christians object to its allegedly pagan origins, or to what they see as its celebration of witches and other "evil powers." Some neo-pagans object to the alleged Christian takeover of their holiday, or to what they see as a distorted, negative view of witches and magic.
And some simply don't think it's safe for children to go out after dark taking candy from strangers. (The last of those groups often proposes safer celebrations.)
Still, as long as there are cold autumn nights, a steady supply of candy corn, and radio stations to play "The Monster Mash," there seems no danger of Halloween going away.
The Wallpaper project began in early 2005 as tweaked satire, Frederic
funneling his earliest influences (P-Funk, New Jack, East Bay rap) into
two EPs of diced, digital beats and lyrics caricaturing the pop
vernacular. But as the Hyphy hip-hop movement crested in Frederic's
backyard, something changed. "I saw that classic Bay Area sound
resurfacing," he says, "that same psychedelic, drippy, care-free, funky
approach that reigned from Sly Stone to Digital Underground." He needed
to pay tribute, and in a hail of house parties and homemade discs,
Wallpaper was reborn as Ricky Reed, Frederic's disco-smashing
doppelganger.
