  • New song up!

    Current mood:blissful

    Hello!

    I haven't written to you or put up a new song in forever it seems!  I have been writing songs and doing some demo recording for the full length album I'm working on, but I've always been tempted to show people my creations before they are ready and I didn't want to do that this time.  I hope to have the album finished by summer...we shall see :)

    In the meantime, I recorded and posted a cover just for fun - its one of my new favorite songs: The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel...and I thought it appropriate as its Valentine's week :) I hope you like it. 

    You can find my two EP's Brief Sounds and Ghost in the Corner on itunes and you can find some more recent songs and recordings of mine as part of the two albums and one EP that my side project The Twilight Music Girls have released in the past year and a half.

    Please rate and review my music on itunes if you feel so inclined - it helps it get heard by more people. :) I hope you are all having a wonderful 2010 and I will try to make my updates more frequent this year!

    Cool Not Cool

    idea was coming! :) stealing my money - that just isn't nice

    -Playing a show at the Cat Club -Not getting to play at the Cat Club
    because of date confusion
    -British accents

    -Ian from the Cat Club (see above -Guy from the parking lot who 
    cool thing as well as other qualities) wouldn't give me my money back 
    even though he knew my show 
    -Charles my drummer didn't happen
    -Parking lots that only cost $1/hr -Parking lot machines that steal my

        British accents are still mostly super cool. Mostly. 
        Wacky "hey you're not actually playing" gigs....generally uncool.  I have actually had that situation work out well though, at least once.

  • More Adventures in Busking

    In busking, some days are better than others. For example, this week:

    Wednesday: played for an hour
    spoils: sore throat, numb fingers, $1

    Thursday: played for an hour
    spoils: $27.52, a balloon flower from the guy making them across the street, seeing an old friend and some really cute kids, and a discussion with a fellow busker about how "I have what it takes" - nice to hear from anyone.

        your busking!!, I like that.  Never pictured you as a busker, for whatever reason.  I haven't done it for a long time.  Adventures in Busking is the perfect term.  
        I used to average maybe 8 or 10 bucks an hour, plus @ one odd gift per hour. I had a good spot outside a Liquor store; got beer, shooters, joints etc.  Mostly met some cool and or weird people. Had some jams.  good stuff. (wouldn't want to be making rent doing that though, for sure)

  • Music Video!



    In July 2009, Kris Angelis teamed up with Award-winning filmmaker Damian Horan (www.damianhoran.com) to create a music video for her song "Searching For Something That Can't Be Found." 

    Searching is a sentimental journey of connection and acceptance of one’s self. Its stunning and flowing visuals complement Angelis’s soothing acoustic sound. When Angelis finds herself on a small stage in her bedroom, she is transported into another world; on a mission to find what she is looking for, she travels through a sea of fans, all of who do not even notice she is there. What she finds is very surprising.

    Inspired by such classic videos as Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy”and R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion, Horan tried to create a feeling of isolation and despair with the video to setup its uplifting finale. 
     
    Searching (written by Tim Hanseroth of the Brandi Carlile Band), is a visual journey through the workings of the singer’s head. The stunning 35mm bleach-by-passed visuals of the video add to the sense of longing, despair, and hope that Angelis sings about.

    Searching  has not been screened publicly and maintains its world premiere status. The video is currently on the music festival circuit and will be available for viewing following a successful run on the festival circuit.  

    Technical Info
    Running Time:  3 Min. 15 Sec.
    Aspect Ratio: 1.85
