  • Bio

    ......Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider................ ROBERT POGUE HARRISON (lead guitar). When he is not playing lead guitar for Glass Wave, Robert teaches literature at Stanford University. Like his brother Thomas, he was born on the western coast of Asia Minor, migrated to Italy, then eventually found his way to graduate school at Cornell, in Ithaca, New York, before continuing his journey westward to Hesperia, otherwise known as California. This westward trek, called translatio imperii by the Romans, continues to this day, as Glass Wave seeks to transport the fallen household gods of literature to the terra nova of rock music. /// DAN EDELSTEIN (guitar, keyboards, backup vocals). Dan spends most of his time conversing with dead people and students, often at the same time. His musical odyssey began in Ithaca, New York, where he started playing the piano, and it took him to the island of Geneva, in Switzerland, where he picked up the guitar. He was in a band called Google Plex before there was Google, and he suspects that he lived in California before he moved there in 2003. Although he feels he has found his true home in the Bay Area, where he joined the Stanford faculty in 2003, he still harbors a nostalgia for some nameless place heard only in the late Beethoven piano sonatas. /// CHRISTY WAMPOLE. (vocals). Before her hair turned to glass in the waves off the California coast, Christy came from a Texas town whose road sign reads: “Where the West begins.” This explains the groaning desolation one occasionally hears in her voice, which still sounds the notes of that yearning for water which afflicts parched and empty lands. She moved from Texas to France - its smaller sister Republic - where she cultivated an interest in cabaret and chanson, and later performed music from both traditions in restaurants and nightclubs in Dallas and the Bay Area. She is completing her Ph.D at Stanford University with a dissertation on late 20th-century French and Italian essayistic fiction. /// THOMAS HARRISON (bass). If Homer was indeed a real person, he most likely came from the place where Thomas was born and grew up: Smyrna, now known as Izmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. By age eleven Thomas moved with his family to Rome, Italy, where he would end up playing bass guitar in the progressive rock band The Sleepy Hollow. From Rome he made his way to New York City, where he earned a PhD in comparative literature. He now lives in the land of Frank Zappa, not quite in Laurel Canyon but very close to it, and teaches at UCLA. /// COLIN CAMARILLO (percussion). Colin, who turned twenty-one during the recording of “Glass Wave,” is the only band member who is a Bay Area native. His drums are the ballast that keeps the music upright and on course as it navigates the swells of the continental oceans in which the band undertakes its mission to seek out old life and old civilizations, and make them come alive again.
