Maria Vidal new Mp3 Single Now Available

info@henhousestudios.com (Hen House Studios) — Fri, 16 May 2008 00:37:19 +0000

We are proud to release the new single from the incredible singer songwriter Maria Vidal. Many of you may remember Maria’s big international “hit single “Body Rock” which reached #8 on the US dance charts and #11 in the UK.

Maria’s latest track “GREEN” is an environmentally conscience song.

Here’s what Maria has to say about it –
I wrote it for an International Festival at the American School in London. The theme of this year’s festival was “Our Global Greenhouse”. I was part of the committee that made thousands of flowers made out of the recyclable plastics and cardboards that the school generated throughout the year. The committee was comprised of women (mothers) from all over the world.

As we got closer to the festival date (April 11, 2008) I felt like I wanted to contribute something more so I decided to write a theme song for the event. I started out by asking different women to speak certain words in their own language into my little cassette player, “green” being the main word, but also “our”, “together”, “flower”, and “one”. I later went into the recording studio and used these spoken words to create a little chain that I then wrote the song to.

The lyrics could mean anything you want them to, I guess…but for me they give a feeling, the FEELING of what it’s all about…being alive on the planet.

A hopeful planet, but I feel at the moment a bit heartbreaking.

- Maria Vidal

Podcasts - “It Might Not Be Poetry”

info@henhousestudios.com (Hen House Studios) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:04:14 +0000

Hosted by Michael C Ford

Why call this radio show “It Might Not Be Poetry”?

Because it suggests that what we will be doing here might just not be what we have learned to accept as the narrow standard the poetry establishment may have pre-defined for us. The program title is a fait accompli giving us a blank check to present elements of all current art forms. Some previously advertised as language art, speech art, or perhaps even touchstones within the framework of international film culture and in very specific terms music culture.

Episode #1: Allen Ferguson co-founded a band with five of his compatriot musicians who were inadvertently connected with the Stanford University Music Department. Because of a distinctive engagement between the classic elements of chamber music and the melodic structures in American contemporary music, Ferguson named his experiment the Chamber Jazz Sextet.

After much struggle and strife we have finally revamped the site. There are many new features and improved user abilities. Our personal favorite is just under way and is worth checking out. Its a new mp3 download payment system where you pay what you want for selected Hen House Studios songs.

For all you artists out there - Some of you might notice that not all Hen House artists are presently listed on the site. Please do not worry as we are adding artists everyday and will complete the job shortly. There are presently over 100 bands that have recorded at the Hen House!

If you have any advice, comments, suggestions or notice any problems please contact us and let us know. The site is rather large and there are bound to be some kinks. Those of you new to the site, best to start here.

Special thanks to EDGE - for your input and advice on reconstructing the site.

Peace and love,

We Won a Native America Music Award

info@henhousestudios.com (Hen House Studios) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:24:15 +0000

Hen House Studios is happy to announce that our CD entitled “Floyd Red Crow Westerman – A Tribute to Johnny Cash” won the prestigious “Native American Music Award”. Our only regret is that we didn’t have the time to attend the awards in Niagara Falls, New York. Here is what Kris Kristofferson wrote about the CD: “I Think Johnny Cash would be especially proud of this tribute album. Not just because of his high regard for Floyd Red Crow Westerman or his own life-long identification with Native Americans and commitment to their cause, but because it is such a respectful, loving portrayal of the man’s work. Floyd’s deep, powerful voice resonates with the truth. I had no idea he could sound so much like John.”
