This is a really cool show all about the arts in Seattle run by a huge art supporter NANCY GUPPY.

It was amazing to watch the preparations and process of the photo shoot with the brilliant photographer STEVEN MILLER for the Silvering Path poster. Just thought I should throw a few of these photos up here for all to see! Im afraid there has been some trouble with folks viewing video, so I will post video from the shoot soon when the tech trouble is resolved.

If you haven’t already bought tickets to “The Silvering Path” live performance,  They are selling fast!( scroll down for the Poster image below.

The SLUG PRINCESS film shoot (a collaboration between Haruko Nishimura, Mandy Greer and Ian Lucero) is finally finished! Now for the weeks of grueling editing work. Here is a slide show of pics taken on location from the shoot taken by Kamala Dolphin Kingsley.

We invited a bunch of folks to come and record with us to make sounds for our coming 9th album!  And after a bout of the FLU, DAE’s Robb Kunz finally had a chance to put together a few clips from the fun event.

This is my personal favorite (the sound of thirty mouths making popping sounds!):

INTRODUCTION:

On August 19th, we held a public recording event to capture crowd sounds, marching sounds, metal orchestra sounds and such things that can only sound great with a mass of people.  The sounds will be used on Degenerate Art Ensemble’s 9th Album.   Among those in attendance was our CELEBRITY GUEST BLOGGER, the wonderful composer/performer John Osbold of the unmatched magnificent band AWESOME . John was kind enough to post his experience of the night here on this blog. We will be posting actual sounds of the event shortly.

On a rainy Tuesday night at the fantasticYoungstown Cultural Arts Center in lovely West Seattle, a troupe of adventurous souls met with the mad scientists of DAE to create a smorgasbord of sounds for the upcoming album & show…
