Music for Future Audiences

So when Brent returns from The Emerald Isle he'll be heading back up to EMPAC (Whew! I was afraid we were done with you!) to start mixing the live recording, video & audio, that we did for our Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then residency a few months back. Between dropping off the HDCam tape at MoMA last week and now putting the finishing touches on this release I feel like this film/labor of love will most definitely have some kind of future audience! Which is so exciting being that it could have so easily not! In celebration of the possibility of Gravity not disappearing into the ether of film releases & lost caverns of art and remaining, in some sense, as an artifact of a time and a place here is a small snippet of sound recording from our most recent EMPAC recording! (Note: Please keep in mind that it was recorded on my digital camera so...I WAS standing near the drum when the drum gets louder, apologies in advance! The band includes Brent Green on guitar & vocals, Drew Henkels on theramin, Brendan Canty on drums, Alan Scalpone on trumpet, Mike McGinley on fiddle and Todd Chandler on upright bass )
