Many moons ago - let’s call it 2008 - Invocatio, my music group at the time, had the opportunity to play live for Ariellah. It was lovely and we quite enjoyed it.
A few months later, some fortuitous scheduling allowed us to shoot some footage for a music video. This too was lovely and again we quite enjoyed it.
Things got complicated at that point, and much time passed. Eventually, with the help of some exceptionally talented people doing what they do well, everything came together and we have a video. Very special thanks go to Tansy Undercrypt for pulling the pieces into place (and being generally wonderful).
Our dark steampunk cabaret has a delicious line-up of music, dance, and spoken word pieces, highlighted by the extraordinary Tempest and the amazing Tim Rayborn as they cross the country on The Durga Tour.
It’s also the debut performance of my new band, Voluntary Nightmare. I’m thrilled by the whole thing.
Preshow ticket sales have been very good, but they’re going offline momentarily – if you want to see the show, getting there a bit early isn’t a bad idea.
I’ve reached the point where I’ve got several things planned for 2009, but nothing is firm yet, and there are events which haven’t been announced so I can’t talk about them. As a result, my year currently looks a little bit like this:
There’s editing happening.
I’ll be writing more music. About stuff.
The Undercrypt podcast will make its first appearance before, say, the end of February.
I might be performing at CONvergence with Invocatio. Or I might not.
I’ll be performing at a thing on a day in June, with people.
Something will get recorded.
Maybe I’ll be providing music for a Halloween show. Could happen.
There’s this amazingly cool thing planned for November in which I may very well appear.
The only thing I’m absolutely sure about right now is that it’s going to be a busy and exciting year, and I’m quite looking forward to it all.
