A big thank you to all who made it to
our 2008 performances. We were thrilled
to play another sold-out show for our
season-closer at the Electric Lodge. At present, we're
planning our 2009 season and working on our next album,
currently in the mixing stage—we'll keep you posted.
For now, we leave you with this short documentary on the
group from the World Festival of Sacred Music Performance.
Created by Adam Mcfaddin Ballard, for the World Festival
of Sacred Music - Los Angeles 2008. LA Lens on Sacred Music.
"an extremely exciting album,
not to mention enjoyable to listen to,
and gives one the feeling of being on
the ground floor of something fresh and
new."
Come to the Armory Center for the Arts, where we will
offer a distinctive interpretation of sacred music
for this year's World Festival of Sacred Music. We
will recast a number of sacred and devotional works
from their original instrumentation—adaptations
of traditional Indonesian gamelan, chorales by Bach,
Messiaen, Villa-Lobos and more.
