Goddess Alchemy Project Bringing forth the timeless science!


http://www.myspace.com/goddessalchemyproject

A live, lyrical experience of “more than one sista on the mic at a time”… this crew gives voice to the potent medicine of Goddess Alchemy rising. Empowering the revolution from within, these creatresses synergize their individual skills to weave together an evolutionary, artistic collective grounded in the ancient ways of women’s wisdom. In collaboration with many artists and producers, Goddess Alchemy’s sound alchemizes a fresh, feminine flavor by integrating elements of underground hip hop, world accents, spoken word flows, and soulful melodics. Combine this with ancient texts, quantum physics, ancestral roots, multi-dimensional symbology, and an all-female cipher… the result to this equation is a new, musical science they call “Open Source Soul Floetics”. Utilizing multi-media as they’re tool of mass creation, The Goddess Alchemy Project fuses music, visual art, spoken word poetry, dance, their al.KEM.y Designs clothing company, and community outreach to bring sacred intention to the forefront of artistic momentum.

AN OUT OF THIS WORLD-BEAT TRIBAL FUNK ROCK EXPERIENCE WITH KatsüK!!!

http://www.myspace.com/katsuk

A mesmerizing emotive musical experience that can silence a room, turn it upside down, and make it sweat. From Folk to Rock to Reggae to Funk to Country to Psychedelia to Tribal Drums and Flutes to a style like no other, KatsüK is a genre chameleon and truly a unique and deeply impact-full musical anomaly.

"Weaving together an impressively thick sonic tapestry, I was really blown away by KatsüK and their massive Middle Eastern sound. Fans of Dead Can Dance and acoustic Led Zeppelin should check it out." -Harder Beat Magazine-

Irminsul Celtic Harp

www.irminsul.biz/index.htm

Irminsul began his experimentation with bands of many genres, including prog-rock, punk, heavy metal, early electronic, industrial, hardcore, techno, trance, Celtic folk, and world fusion.
At age 34, he took up the Celtic harp, again self trained, and quickly gained prominence in performing and composing for the instrument. He played with well known Celtic acts such as Idlewild and Stonecircle, recording several albums with both bands. At that time he vigorously played the festival and small concert circuit, and performed on more than one movie soundtrack. Later fusing the harp with his electronic expertise, Irminsul branched out to other music treatments - from dramatic to commissioned works, and began fusing music forms from other cultures and time periods into current projects.

Chris Hough

www.myspace.com/chrishoughband
Chris has a sound that is "retro-fresh." While many of his compositions are challenging technically to play, he gives the audience something to hold on to with his clean sounding compositions that sooth, relax, excite and, best of all, stay with you. His grit and energy from a musical road well traveled translate well to the audience. And if you ask him why he doesn’t use effects, he’ll say, "If you can make good music, play well, and have a good sounding guitar, what more do you need?"

Chris will be releasing his debut original Jazz CD in June and is looking forward to performing in the 2008 Utah Arts Festival and the Heaven on Earth Festival in Spring City, Utah.
