July 18, 2010 at 2:00pm Payton MacDonald Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts, When Payton finds something Columbia, MO that piques his interest, he pursues it with passion: from Francisco Cortés-Álvarez, Laundry Revolution collecting tarantulas to Christopher Dietz, Rambleodeon composing, competing in Paul Dooley, Point Blank endurance sports to learning Moon Young Ha, 20’s Hindustani tabla drumming— Amy Beth Kirsten, Drink Me he’s done it all. Jeremy Podgursky, MINDJOB Zhou Juan, Say “Bye” With a nuclear engineer and teacher for parents, Payton didn’t get his early musical inspiration from home, but rather from the public library in Featured Recording Idaho Falls, Idaho back in the ‘pre-Internet’ days. He spent many hours in the library listening room Aphex Twin’s Blue Calx with huge stacks of tapes and LPs after school and Caleb Burhans, our violinist, arranged this ambient track for our Acoustica project. soon took up jazz drums in his school’s band. Payton has been with Alarm Will Sound from the very beginning and recalls the early days of meager pay, and sleeping on the floor in studio apartments while on concert tours.
