  • Bio

    .. ..Beautiful Egg...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. Music Video for "Beautiful Egg" Won 2 Telly Awards in the categories of Cinematography & Music Video for 2009 ....Directed by: Giovanni Messner.. Produced by: Giovanni Messner Raul Gasteazoro Jordan Allen..... NEW CD from OH HALO available now on ITUNES! .. ......http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=281216993&s=143441...... I remember the early days of this century, before the radioactive clouds. All of the major cities were still full of people. The streets were alive. Lights shone in every window. Colors were bright like neon. We laughed and danced on the rooftops of skyscrapers. We listened to ..Oh Halo. ...... I remember ..Julie Dicterow... She sang with human soul. Not the way androids perform today. She played a percussive instrument called a piano. She played it very emotionally, tilting her head and closing her eyes. I always dream of her that way, with her head tilted, listening, and her eyes closed. .... I remember when ..Oh Halo.. released their first album in 2008 titled, ..Beautiful Egg.. on independent label Miles of Moonlit Records. It was produced by ..Ethan Allen ..of Gram Rabbit, who co-wrote "Cat Got Your Tongue" and "Beautiful Egg." We loved that record. Cruising downtown, feeling the first rush of the evening and hearing.. Julie Dicterow's.. voice was pure magic. .... ..Ronan Conroy, accompanied Julie on ..Beautiful Egg,.. He played a string instrument called a guitar. You had to manually process a guitar sound by connecting it to a "pedal." Ronan used lots of pedals, and his sound was perfectly washed. Each string reverberated endlessly, like chimes in a temple. He layered rivers of harmonies and drifted on them, plucking out somnambulant melodies, dreaming his way through solos. Marcy Hokama washed the keys with her fingers while Chealsea hypnotically put the rest in a trance. thump thump, thump thump... .... I even saw ..Oh Halo.. perform. I saw them in New York at Pianos, Arlene's Grocery and Rockwood Music Hall. I will never forget the intensity of those performances. Deftly caressing their instruments and eyes closed, it was like they did not know we were listening, though there were many of us rapt in ecstasy. Their timing was tight and precise, but their souls were far away. They were too absorbed in bringing us pealing sunsets and marauding dawns to notice anything else. .... There was something about ..Oh Halo ..that defined the time. They expressed the excitement we had for the future. ..Giovanni Messner's ..genius video for the title track "Beautiful Egg" perfectly captured our spirit: the warmth and love…and also the hurt and loss. One unbroken shot, flowing as smoothly and sensuously as the song, glided through passionate love to tragic anger, and finally gave us trademark .. Oh Halo..: a last glimmer of hope. .... The darkness of our present day was foreseen by ..Oh Halo.. and echoed in their music; a somber shadow spinning through the light. Could they sense that someday we would live underground, hiding from the fallout? Sometimes I think they could. They taught us to protect hope, for it is precious and fragile. It is our beautiful egg. .... Now when I listen I dream and remember. I remember the Earth the way it used to be: the warmth of the sun, the depth of the moon and human love. I remember the days of ..Oh Halo... .. .... ~ ..Cole Williams.., 2/22/2093 .. .... .. ....
