GAMEHENGE HISTORY

What is Gamehendge? Gamehendge (also known as The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday) was originally written and recorded by Trey Anastasio, the main songwriter for Phish, for his senior thesis at Goddard College between '87 and '88. It is a nine-song concept album about other planets, lizard people, and the like. It basically sounds like wacky jam music peppered with spoken narrative. There has never been a studio recording made of Gamehendge. Phish has only performed Gamehendge live five times (1988, 1991, 1993, and twice in 1994) a fact which, considering that they have performed thousands of shows, has pushed this work to mystical heights...

Padna-The Terror at Sedona Rock (DVD 25mins. edt. of 50) $6

culled from a pile of experimental instant videos (the audio is local, live and recorded directly into the camera) padna made over a seasonal year, "The Terror at Sedona Rock" is a meditative staring contest. for fans of some serious alone time.

Padna- the shore that feared the sea (cd-full length + 30min dvd!) -$11.00

Padna's third full-length comes correct with outlandish examples of perplexed joy and friendly fire! A fine variety of personal experiences embedded directly into the sounds as all manner of tangible (and otherworldly) objects are employed in this valiant effort for communal empathy. This is as beautiful and strange as it wants to be. Built around a conceptual root, Padna invites all manner of process into the recordings- a chair creek becomes a bird flock, a car passing becomes a glacier thaw, computer ticks become a cow heart.

The accompanying DVD, Hidden Animals, was conceived while Padna (sound) and C.Diehl (video) toured together in the summer of '06 through the north-west. This DVD is an elaborate expansion of their live collaboration- it smokes. AND it all comes in a lovely hand crafted white-felt shelter! geez-louise!
