   About The Langley Schools Music Project
The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60-voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada, untrained but captivated by melodic magic, singing tunes by the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, The Bay City Rollers, and others. The students accompany themselves with the shimmering gamelan chimes of Orff percussion, and elemental rock trimmings arranged by their itinerant music teacher, Hans.Fenger. These 1976-77 recordings, captured on a 2-track tape deck in a school gymnasium, weren't staged to achieve money or fame, to sell albums or land a record contract. These kids played music because they loved it. Innocent, flawed and bittersweet, guided by Fenger's unsuspecting genius, these recordings deserve to be heard and preserved. They brim with charm and youthful élan, sparked by flashes of lo-fi Spectorian majesty and Pet Sounds subtlety. Call it folk art, outsider, or campfire rock -- the labels don't matter. These are gorgeous, heavenly artifacts. Period. These recordings were originally contained on two 12" LPs, pressed exclusively for the students, their classmates, teachers, and parents. They were never intended for exposure outside the provincial Langley region. But after they came to the attention of Irwin Chusid, the Songs in the Key of Z author and record producer vowed to make these recordings commercially available. He forged a licensing/trustee agreement with the Langley School administrators, and with the blessings of Hans Fenger and several former student soloists who were located, these priceless recordings have now been introduced to the rest of the planet.

Thank you so much for the add. I really enjoyed listening to all these wonderful songs after reading a blog on the NY Times today and then following the link to this great myspace.

I would love to obtain the cd and hopefully will have that chance soon. I don't live far from New York City and perhaps there is a retail outlet that carries this cd?

In protest of legislation which prohibits the free sharing of music (such as the "Hadopi" law in France) and against conformism in today's music industry, we offer 3 complete albums free for listening and downloading on our myspace page : http://www.myspace.com/spiritofthematter

Thanks for helping us spread the word.

Hi, this is dan from BEND SINISTER here. We are taking part in
this MUSIC BC/PEAK radio station contest right now for a chance at a
150,000$ grant towards our musical career which as you know would be a
huge help for any artist to continue making a living touring and
recording. The contest is based on online votes and it only takes a
second to vote for us in the contest. We are falling behind and could
really use your support so if you have a second please vote at:



http://www.peakperformanceproject.com/?page_id=1113



and if your interested, we have our new website up and we are offering
free downloads of 10 our of favorite tracks from all three of our
records. They are available here:



www.bendsinisterband.com



Thanks for listening and PLEASE take a second to vote, we could really use the help!



Much love

Dan

I apologize for the delayed response...I've been traveling.  I appreciate your response, though I sometimes wonder if I impart the right views.  Teaching is a very powerful profession to be in, and sometimes underestimated in that regard.  I've often contemplated doing something like the Langley Project at my school.  And what time is better than now?  Now to just do it...
