Sparky and the RandOm bAnD
Sparky certainly has a unique sound and style which deserves recognition. Nothing like original arrhythmic sounds that …. question the mind. This 33 year old from Minnesota (1st artist from Minnesota featured on FreioMusic!!) teams up with his wife to create the videos below.
“The music is mostly live instruments modified with effects pedals recorded in live improvised sessions. It is inspired by free jazz and beat poetry but done electronically.
The videos are shot with a canon digital camera and then modified with Magix Movie edit pro 17. Some editing and modifying is done with Magix music maker pro 17 on some of the audio tracks. We have a blog describing the instruments and processes a little more
Enjoy the road trip and thanks for the interest.” -Patrick “Sparky”

Canasta, from Chicago, Illinois, could be he next big pop band out if Chi town! Their music is moving, and the band is tightly knit together. It is not as if we are the first to notice this talent, Best of Chicago 2010… loaded with intricate yet accessible orchestral pop music
— Huffington Post. I asked Elizabeth (vocals/violin/percussion) about the
direction of the band and what they strive for, and her articulate reply is as follows… “Living amongst the immense musical talent in a city like Chicago is eternally inspiring. But standing apart from the crowd can be a never-ending challenge. So Canasta came together in early 2002 when six friends joined forces and augmented the standard rock set‐up with piano, violin, keyboard and trombone, in an effort to craft a more ambitious strain of majestic, ultra‐melodic, orchestral pop”. The band is composed of 6 friends:
Band Members:
Jeremy Beckford – guitar / vocals
Sarah Kneebone – piano / keyboard / vocals
Elizabeth Lindau – vocals / violin / percussion
Brian Palmieri – drums
Matt Priest – vocals / bass / trombone / percussion
Ryan Tracy – keyboard / piano / bass / vocals
Every member brings their talents and enthusiasm to create a well-rounded, very talented up and coming band. “Maybe it’s my ability to pester people to help get stuff done. I’m good and networking when I have time to network. I also do a lot of band administration” Says Elizabeth. The band is connected to all the right places, and in turn, has a strong and growing network of fans across the globe. I would not be surprised to see Canasta playing at festivals around America within a year, Look Out Sasquatch! Stay close to the band by following them on Twitter.
