Crayola Lectern, purveyor of melanchemy and believer in the magic properties of music, has been kicking around the world stage in various guises over the years. The recentish purchase of an old Kemble Minx piano has precipitated an emotional and musical outpouring of unforeseen magnitude, the results of which will become manifest in the form of a number of albums over the next few years. As such, those songs which appear here are quite old now, so please bear with whilst funds are gathered to record the newer stuff on a decent piano onto tape. Crayola Lectern makes no attempt to cowtow to popular demand in terms of style or content of his work, it being a simple construction based on the reality and fantasy of his own experience of living in the modern age.
There are occasional gigs with the varying musical assistances of Jon Poole (casiotone), Joss Cope (casiotone / feedback guitar), and Alistair Strachan (flugelhorn, trumpet, omnichord, percussion). The melancholy nature of this music works as an antidote to much of the rather more full-on psychedelics, noise, free improvisation and other projects and bands which Crayola variously graces under the unlikely pseudonym of "Chris."
