corsican
paintbrush
was officially formed in the late spring of 2004, driving
down the highway on the way out of the city. this project
consists of brad rose (the north sea, the
golden oaks, etc) and eden hemming rose (wax
ghost, the cone bearers, etc). corsican paintbrush
became the replacement for the ill-conceived duo-project,
winter in prague. the latter concept was
never that great and we decided we needed something different;
something less constrictive. the name comes from the combination
of two things on our mind that day. one)
corsican mint. eden had just planted some in our balcony-garden,
and we found it enthralling. two) the official
state wildflower of oklahoma was in full-bloom on that drive:
indian paintbrush. between indian mint and corsican paintbrush,
the latter won out and there was joy. recording got underway
immediately, however stalled in the thick hot air of the oklahoma
summer. portions of the initial release, "lichens &
moss," were recorded that summer, but it wasn't until
a semi-drunken new year's eve that the sessions were finished.
the result was a sparse forest clattering through a mythic
haze. as 2005 transpires, new projects are underway... interest
has grown in the project and the first edition of the debut
cd-r (an edition of 55 copies) is withering away to dust.
we move forward and we walk amongst the trees, smiling with
the sun... |
