We are RANDOM FACTORS, recording and selling folk, filk and whatever else that interests us.
What's filk? Go here and find out!
We currently have two artists in our "stable," Leslie Fish and Joe Bethancourt.
If there's one name that's practically synonymous with filk (Science Fiction fandom's own folk music), it's Leslie Fish. Leslie has written literally hundreds of songs covering almost every subject, from the space program ("Hope Eyrie"), to Star Trek ("Banned From Argo") to urban life, history, and space fantasy ("Carmen Miranda's Ghost"), as well as writing music for poems by authors from Rudyard Kipling on up to contemporary fantasy writers. Leslie is also a fine performer, guitarist, and storyteller.
Joe Bethancourt has been playing the banjo since he was old enough to know better, and is a compulsive picker, collector and learner of weird instruments. He plays (at last count) 65 different instruments, sings in several languages and is a walking history book on the American Old West. What makes this even more remarkable is that he has never had any formal music training, doesn't read music, and is on leave from the Phoenix Home for the Musically Bewildered.
We were also pleased to have recorded the first CD of The Bringers, a pioneering Celtic Fusion band. Copies of that amazing CD are still available!
