Silent Orchestra
Silent Orchestra was formed in 1998 to bring silent films to a new audience. We are known for new scores for NOSFERATU (1922), SALOME (1923), and METROPOLIS (1927). We blend elements of ambient, minimalist, chamber, rock, jazz, and aleatoric music with homage to music of the silent era. We have scored 14 classic silent films. Our 2021 album is a tribute to the works of Poe. ... more

Man Out Of Time
by Manna/Mirage
supported by 8 fans who also own “The Oval Portrait”
I feel like the COVID pandemic allowed/forced Dave to really think through and seriously polish his ideas. The songs here all feel so complete, sophisticated, and fully realized--moreso than the previous Manna / Mirage releases. While I've been loving these releases since 2015s Blue Dogs, this is the one I will be listening to the most ten years down the road. GREAT collaborations from all guests and great compositions/ideas from the playful brain of Dave Newhouse. Well done!

An Erstwisle Alphabestiary: Book One
by Nick Prol & the Proletarians
supported by 5 fans who also own “The Oval Portrait”
Mind and heart expanding avant-prog that's creatively off the charts but ultra catchy as well. The musicianship is excellent but never overshadows the joy it sounds like everyone had while creating this awesome album. Can't wait for Part 2!

Sister Death

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Oval Portrait”
Each weekend, Cuneiform Records present us with an interesting special offer that I often gladly accept, more so on a Bandcamp Friday. This is the second Alec Redfearn-related addition to my collection, again, genre-defying and highly entertaining.

Island spinning brings me back! I went to Mars Hill University for percussion performance. We played a lot of your lit. and island spinning was featured on our fall perc ensemble program my junior year. Such a killer piece, I played marimba. Many thanks! love your work.
