We are also still playing a couple of the demo-songs from Rock On, Genghis Khan -- soon to debut as a digital comic book with expanded plot & new music!!!!
Status Hat Productions' projects & collaborations -- art + music + comics + more -- involve a host of musicians, artists, writers & others, near + far.
Recent and ongoing projects include "The Volga is Our Home" -- an international collaboration out of the Russian Federation. Project Artists include:
Alsu Timurgalini (Author of Project) (Russia) Rinat Karimov (Russia) Carli Castellani (America) Veronica Nicusia (Graphics & Logistics in Russia)
As well as other American artists, volunteers and members of Status Hat Productions who have been assisting with Phase II, final exhibition (coming soon! coming soon!).
In Russia, the Volga project received the generous support of:
"The art experience is a primal and beneficial human drive -- to create, and share with one another through the creative act, is vital for individuals and communities to flourish."
We produce new works in a variety of media, particularly those that bring together divergent artists & artforms. We also seek to create and facilitate opportunities for participatory exploration of the arts, throughout the extended community.
Status Hat Productions is dedicated to fostering the time, space and resources necessary to cultivate the arts and art experience in everyday life.
Cheers! Carli

"Creating Games (an interactive game room)":
..
Creating "Games of Sticks and Stones..." required about 3 months. We brainstormed possible games, tested and developed 5 games, and transformed a spectrum of raw materials into the game pieces and landscape. Most of the component pieces were put through a several step process to create the final look of the installation. The slideshow above shows some of that work as it was in progress. Carli Castellani
Carli Castellani is anAmerican artist and writer. She is a founding partner of Status Hat Productions.
Carli creates sculptures, arrangements and interactive installations, as well as theatrical works. Her work is often whimsical or playful in nature, and is generally inspired by the points where mythology, history and culture converge. She is particularly interested in the human drive to mark, modify and manipulate our environment, and in the pervasive visual and audio saturation found in contemporary society.
Tim Castellani is a bassist, and founding partner of Status Hat Productions.
He has been creating and playing music his whole life, including a childhood immersed in classical trumpet. Tim has been involved in all phases of production, performance and recording for several rock operas, as well as producing cds for a variety of bands and projects. He has an extensive performance background, including in theater settings and for dance troupes.
Tim is truly happy to see music happen, and to share in it’s joy with others.

" Qui épuise le potentiel de son esprit connaît sa nature. Or, connaître sa nature, c'est connaître le Ciel. " D'esprit, il n'y en a qu'un: le mien, celui de mon ami, celui du sage il y a des millénaires, celui du sage à venir dans des millénaires, tous participent de ce même esprit. L'esprit a une constitution immense, et pour peu que j'arrive à en épuiser le potentiel, je ne fais plus qu'un avec le Ciel. Bon WE.
I entered a contest to create and design an Iphone app that Apple would
disapprove. I didn't win. I thought it fit in well with my book "Ghosts
In The Cemetery".
