About this project:
Some have called folk music a type of communication, passed on by word of mouth in a flexible conversational manner over time. The audible result is often a fluid and humble song that evolves the more times the song is approached, delivered, or interpreted within variety of contexts. Based on available instrumentation, our collaborator sensibilities, and the synergy of these forces, our approach to this project has been defined as a folk-ish. As a group of visual artists and designers, our studio practices range from kinetic sculpture, photo installation, drawing for performance, drawing for exploration, performance photography, and experiments in the built environment to name a few. Our individual specializations lie far outside of the traditional music community or industry. Rather music making is here an outlet or reason to put this group together for regular meets ups, brainstormers, and rehearsals to investigate the notion that music making opens a channel within the human mind and expands the capacity for higher level thought. Over time this platform has cultivated melodic combinations and poetic missed connections on the floor of the music studio, some that are be unpredictable or unrepeatable, some rich with promise and at times wonderful. More specifically there are often mutations, blips, side tracks, and crack ups that contribute to the searching quality of the project in unscripted ways.
