Album Notes

Near-classical guitar playing that takes to the sky and malingers majestically, paired with intimate, haunting & unique vocals. Vertigo Butterfly began in Seattle in 2000 as an acoustic duo before playing & traveling across the US - from the lush northwest to gorgeous, staid New England & then the dizzying southwest, eventually returning here to the northwest. A passion for recording and creating music in a home studio superceded the love of playing live, at least for a time. 'There is such an intent & peaceful focus being at home and creating... while the other hand itches to travel again.' One focus for VB is to produce songs that can be used in independent film & other media related soundtracks; the next desire is to tour Europe with a full band. The second CD is in the pre-production stages and will include several guest musicians (playing violin, cello, piano & more). For the disc '1932' John plays all of the instruments (guitars/bass guitar/mandolin & drums) and is acting studio engineer & mixologist; Luray sings, concocts melodies and writes most of the lyrics. Disc-Mastering (Voo Doo) by Brian Chapman (Zoo People) of Beacon Street Studios in LA (Stone Skipper Mastering).
