AGEWOOD 2015

The Agewood Summer Solstice Festival has had a pretty huge impact on my multi-media project.  Back in 2012 I went to Agewood for the first time and it inspired me to shift what I was doing from just recording songs and releasing them online, into wanting to play live shows with visuals.  Last year I played at Agewood for the first time - and it was pretty much the first show that I would consider my project fully up and running.

This year Agewood was in a new location for the first time - and through the crazy hard work of a lot of some crazy awesome folks the festival was reborn in this new space in Maine.

Here's the last few minutes of my set from this year:

Every year there is a compilation that is put together of all the artists who are a part of it.  Here's the track I submitted for it this year, "Ouroboros":

The track uses material from the score I composed for a short film in the Rhode Island 48 Hour Film Festival from 2008 called "Ouroboros" (I made all the music for it - but the part of it that I recycled is from the seance scene which starts at 4:25), a song called "Reflection" which I made under the moniker Clock With No Hands back in 2009ish (I think it's on the interwebs somewhere...but I can't find it), a bit of a children's song called "Here We Go Loopty Loo", and some new stuff.

The whole compilation is available for download and streaming via bandcamp:



Happy Summer,
