Of Art and Intention ~ dilly dilly (music)

Doo Write by Dilly Dilly

(download)

The Album is called 'of art and intention' the artist dilly dilly . Recorded here in Southern Maine. The record got reviewed locally in the local weekly rag (Portland Phoenix) by PT local music writer Sam Pfeifle;

",,,With a vibe a lot like Bon Iver's (and I had that in my notes before I read her shout-out in the liner notes), the album is a construct, meshing the organic reality of any number of stringed instruments with the bleeps and bloops of manufactured beats and keyboard sounds. It is ethereal and grounded, sharp and raw and smooth and polished. Dilly does most of it herself, often playing three or four instruments, but she gets help from Jason Ingalls (Seekonk and Satellite Lot, among others) on drums recorded at Acadia, along with guest spots from Alias, Spencer Albee, Sontiago, and Fresh Kills.,,,"

see all http://tr.im/DillyDooWrite

This album is destined for a much larger audience than just the local Portland music scene, much like the music of her "other band" Cerebus Shoal where Dilly Dilly's (Erin's) musical worldliness was and continues to be honed along with a myriad of other projects.

The album she decided would be a free download although she wants people to donate what and if they can, actually here are her words;

dilly dilly *of art and intention* First official full-length album now available for Download!

http://www.dillydillymusic.com

Well, hello there again!

It official, Of Art And Intention is now available FOR FREE, online only release, with option to donate.

I've been striving and struggling in the music world for seventeen of my many years alive and I decided to take matters into my own hands. I mean... If it worked for Radiohead it could potentially work for me too! As we all know, record companies are receding and it's getting increasingly hard to make music something the musicians themselves can benefit from. With any luck, the money I make from this release online will fund a physical pressing in the future.

Thank you for your time and consideration for review and/or promotion.

Rex Fowler (1/2 of Aztec 2 Step) to perform Solo show at Starbird Music Recital Hall Friday May 15, 2009

Singer and writer of songs for the underground folk/rock duo Aztec Two-Step to perform at Starbird Music Recital Hall on

Friday, May 15

Portland, Maine

Rex Fowler,

one-half of celebrated folk/rock duo

Aztec Two-Step,

will be performing a rare solo concert on

Friday May 15, at the Starbird Music Recital Hall at 7:30pm. The venues is located on 525 Forest Ave., in Portland. There is no cover charge but any and all donations will go towards Rex’s ‘Angel Home Fund’ to help with the purchase his first-ever house. Maine’s own Paul Lichter will MC and wax poetic!

In the late 60's, as a teenager from Maine, Rex followed the song in his heart - first to Boston in 1971 where he met his musical partner Neal Shulman, then on to New York City - where his songs began to take wing.

Long-time followers of Aztec Two-Step will not be surprised by the beauty and depth of Fowler's songwriting and singing, but even the most ardent fans of Rex’s are likely to be surprised by the emotional resonance of his solo recordings and performances. For those who care about music, poetry, song-craft and singing, come experience another side of this masterful contemporary artist.

Rex will be performing many of his ATS ‘standards’ as well as songs from his most recent two critically acclaimed solo projects: Gettysburg: Reflections on an American Life and 200 Cadillacs, a documentary film about Elvis Presley’s gift of choice, a shiny new Cadillac car.

For further information, please contact Paul Lichter at dijazz@maine.rr.com or (207) 828-1310. www.rexmarchfowler.com <http://www.rexmarchfowler.com>
