~ Review Excerpts ~

"...The musical landscape and signposts will doubtless appear familiar but you'll soon lose yourself in it quite happily, not caring that you don't really know where you are."

- Mick Mercer (Review of The Forgotten Age)

"...Indeed, the rhythmic machine sounds and classically-based melodies intertwined throughout Vernian Process's music give the artist's soundscapes the feel of a fin-de-siecle Victorian age poised between a new age of thundering steam engines and the traditional sensibilities of classical composers."

- Neal L. Dodge ~ The Clockwork Wasteland

~ About Vernian Process ~

Vernian Process is a musical collective, founded by Joshua A. Pfeiffer in 2003. Josh released 2 self-produced albums before being contacted by Martin Irigoyen who joined as an official member of the project in November 08'.

Shortly after Bassist "Peter Zarate", Guitarist/Violin player "Ash", "Piano/Keyboard player "Heather Yager", and drummers "Ron Andonico" and "Free" joined throughout 2009. Cellist, "Erica Mulkey" (aka. Unwoman) is a frequent guest in the bands live performances as well.

In 2006 Josh began work on the band's current release Behold the Machine. When Martin joined in Fall of 08', the two of them decided to completely overhaul the album in Martin's studio, "The Sound Alchemist's Laboratory". Currently the album is scheduled to release in November 2009.

Vernian Process' musical influences range from Post-Punk/New Wave, Classic Industrial, Darkwave, Deathrock, Trip-Hop, Dreampop, Cabaret, Neo-Classical (and many more) filtered through a dimly lit Victorian lens. At times, epic, militant, and mechanical. While equally pastoral, serene, uplifting and positive when it needs to be.

Vernian Process attempts to address collective human issues in the context of a dark, and whimsical 19th Century setting.

We are proud members of the Vintage inspired music collective:

Ivor Novello Pictures, Images and Photos

David Ivor Davies (15 January 1893 – 6 March 1951), better known as Ivor Novello, was a Welsh composer, singer and actor who became one of the most popular British entertainers of the early 20th century.

After World War I, Novello pursued a film career until the 1930s. He starred in two silent films directed by Alfred Hitchcock, The Lodger and Downhill, both in 1927.

My dearest soul~ Starting my weekend a bit early...but with good intent!
Love from Peek A Boo

THE GHOST OF A FLOWER
"You're what?" asked the common or garden spook
Of a stranger at midnight's hour.
 And the shade replied with a graceful glide,
 "Why, I'm the ghost of a flower."

"The ghost of a flower?" said the old-time spook;
"That's a brand-new one on me;
I never supposed a flower had a ghost,
Though I've seen the shade of a tree."

-Anonymous
