Album Notes

Devil Music was founded in 1999 by Brendon Wood to explore the many facets of music (Rock, Electronic, Orchestral, Folk, Improvisation, Incidental, etc.) The name Devil Music was taken from the Fourth Image of George Crumb's "Black Angel's: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land". The group itself was ever-changing, as new members came and went, adding a variety to the sounds, and the style. Starting in 2002, Devil Music settled into the core group of Wood, Rapino (from the acclaimed, New Millenium String Ensemble), and Nylander (former member of Say Zuzu). Since then Devil Music has strived to present new, original, diverse works with performances in Boston and all over the country. Devil Music recently finished a U.S. tour, performing live soundtracks to silent films at movie theaters, performing arts spaces, rock clubs, college campuses, and musuems. The attempt to pigeon hole Devil Music's sound has been frustrating audiences and critics since its incarnation 7 years ago, and will continue as such as long as the love of experimentation stays with the group.
