   About Alloy Orchestra
ALLOY ORCHESTRA is a three man musical ensemble, writing and performing live accompaniment to classic silent films. Working with an outrageous assemblage of peculiar objects, they thrash and grind soulful music from unlikely sources. Performing at prestigious film festivals and cultural centers in the US and abroad (The Telluride Film Festival, The Louvre, Lincoln Center, The Academy of Motion Pictures, the National Gallery of Art and others), Alloy has helped revive some of the great masterpieces of the silent era. An unusual combination of found percussion and state-of-the-art electronics gives the Orchestra the ability to create any sound imaginable. Utilizing their famous "rack of junk" and electronic synthesizers, the group generates beautiful music in a spectacular variety of styles. They can conjure up a French symphony or a simple German bar band of the 20's. The group can make the audience think it is being attacked by tigers, contacted by radio signals from Mars or swept up in the Russian Revolution.

Hello Sirs~
What a treat it was today to see you in action, and to finally meet the creators of that mesmerizing and exciting sound that roped me in 9 years ago with "Strike!".
Many, many thanks for including the PNW in your tour.

Gemini
By (H+) M.S.G. (from the Archives)

We were being and knowing
That two were one, and we were three
In twelve sided cosmos, drifting by
I wasn’t seeing I was feeling
And wasn’t being, doing, two were one
And when I looked to it
Nothing but the corner of my eye
Then we were three, and being
Being and doing
I hadn’t known that two were one
We were that same one, and being
When I know, I feel
I see that two were one
We were three and being
Drifted through twelve sides
And we were being
Knowing that two were one
And falling there on clouds like stars
We were three and known
We were one, I don’t know
I was being, doing, but I knew
That two were one
And clouds flow down
Drifting, we know, and see
Doing, and knowing we were three
And knowing two were one
That two were one.
That Whistlin' Troubadour!
