Update on Ian Hesford’s heart attack – Donation link
April 26, 2012 by Telesma777
Filed under News
On Friday April 20th 2012, our bandmate and friend Ian Hesford suffered a sudden heart attack while onstage. Thanks to 2 of our good friends who started CPR right away, he made it to the hospital where they worked to revive him for almost 2 hours. They almost gave up but after one more attempt Ian’s pulse came back. Needless to say he was in very bad shape but he’s recovering each day. On Friday May 13th, Ian was released from the hospital and is doing well. He’ll be recovering for a while but he’s already getting back to normal with his new defibrillator implant. This will sense any irregular heart beats and will give him a shock if needed. For now, we just need all your love and prayers for Ian, his family, and his friends as he fights to survive. We’re also starting to realize that without insurance Ian will need all the help that can be gathered. We are setting up a special trust to handle donations for Ian’s benefit. We’ll be setting up fundraisers and other ways to help, but for now we hope that you’ll consider using our Paypal link below to help out. 100% of the funds collected here with be deposited into the special trust. These contributions are not tax deductible, but will be spent for Ian.
Telesma will be performing select events in the coming months to help raise money for Ian, and to help us all heal. We know it will be difficult emotionally to perform without Ian but we know that’s what he would want.

RELIX “On The Verge” Article PDF
By Dana Sobel:
“We’ve been described as a psychedelic circus,”
says guitarist/drummer Chris Mandra.
“But it would be a psychedelic circus where
the performers are everyone.” Using instruments
as ancient as the didgeridoo and as
inventive as the manDrum—a real-time electronic-
based percussion interface that
Mandra developed—the sextet Telesma has
been together since 2002. Their sound
encompasses tribal, rock, trance and Middle
Eastern music, and has influences that
extend beyond musical avenues and delves
into the world of visual art and dance.
Telesma aims for a communal artistic experience,
enlisting belly dancers and performers
to collaborate at their live happenings.Noted
psychedelic painter Alex Grey has shared the
stage with the group, as documented on the
group’s recent DVD Hearing Visions: Live.
“We try to make it an environment where
people want to celebrate being alive.”
