Portrait of an Artist

atR: I'm going through this phase where I feel like I haven't said anything meaningful or interesting or witty for several months now. I read so many interviews with artists and I listen to a lot of public radio where authors and musicians and various creative people are constantly talking about their ideas. Everyone is so articulate and colorful. I'm feeling very run-of-the-mill. ACM: We were looking back over the newsletter you send out. It's very thoughtful and introspective and mentions a little background on each of you. What do you do to entertain yourself when you go to a town to do a show... atR: Well ... , the antidote for touring, for most of us, is seeking out antiquarian and rare edition bookshops where we can fill the gaps in our libraries ...

One interesting development over the last several months is the tendency for artists in different regions to band together towards a common goal. Historically, artist cooperatives and networks have led the way, or at least influenced the direction of Christian music as a whole. San Francisco gave us Exit Records several years ago, establishing the alternative Christian music scene. While Exit is a memory (well not doing much lately) there is still a musician and artist network called BACAN. We need to talk with them before our October issue and find out what they have going. New York has CMU, but we haven't seen much from them lately, and of course JPUSA in Chicago has paved the way for alternative music everywhere through the work of Rez Band, Cornerstone Festival and Cornerstone Magazine. Los Angeles' Blonde Vinyl is an artist cooperative of sorts also, although it is more formal and resembles a record label more everday. That was then and now, but we thought we'd look ahead. July 10 and 11, Atlanta is hosting an alternative Christian music festival. Artists from the southeast and throughout the country are converging on Atlanta for two days of music, art and sweat. For twenty dollars you get two stages featuring artists like Stinging Rain, Prayer Chain, and "an artist who plays in a band named after a naughty barnyard animal with a curly tail." Marty Bush (Visions of Gray) said, "We're not set up for camping... motels, yes ... because we're close to the city, ... but very wooded, and no noise ordinance." The primary goals of this festival "are to glorify God, open the eyes of Atlanta's youth pastors, and raise funds for a permanent underground Christian music club." A 14 song compilation cd of artists throughout the Southeast has been completed for distribution through the Pure Rock Report and regionally. They have also been working to enlighten churches in the region who "cancel gigs because our hair is too long." "Georgia is real tough, but I don't even know where I wish I was," said Marty. For more information on the cd or festival, contact Marty Bush at (404)319-7064. Seattle has a 14 song compilation cd available also. . . . Fearless Donkey Records, an artist coop, has gathered many of the alternative Christian artists who perform NEW RELEASES TO LOOK FOR IN 1993 ... at clubs throughout the Northwest into one cd. This Fall they will start work on another compilation project with additional artists including Pollywog, Waterfront and Blenderhead. Recently, a network called NW Net was organized for individuals working indepently in alternative ministries. The goal is to share ideas and information, working together towards reaching youth, and tackle some larger activities like festivals and radio together. A musician's network, NCMI, has also formed to concentrate on the special needs of performmg artists. Access to clubs in nearby towns, recording, distribution, publicity, and avoiding exploitive industry people in Seattle are some of the SOlITHERN IRANIAN AFRO FUNK PUNK items initially discussed. A 24-Track digital demo studio is in the works, and one goal is "fostering community in the Christian scene," said Bill Power of Fearless Donkey Records. Chris Estey from Counter Culture Magazine added, "We really want people to know what's available musically... fellowship ... etc." One goal is to tie the region together, "from San Diego to Vancouver, B.c." said Power. "Isolation has helped the scene, our scene... underground has a greater chance of flourishing," added Estey. For more information contact us at ACM Journal (206) 863-0632 or phone Fearless Donkey Records at (206) 782-5407. PSYCHO FUNKY SPAZTlC HYPERCORE And San Antonio is beginning to stir.

Karin has been reading everything she can get her hands on by Rilke: Letters to a Young Poet, Rilke on Love and Other Difficulties, etc. Ric likes Charles Williams and Madeleine L'Engle.

I have recently been reading the writings of Thomas Merton which have kindled a sort of awe for the Catholic Church. Brian has been reading Anne Rice.

ACM: So, every aspect of what you do, you do the best you possibly can, then take it a step further. atR: That's probably accurate ... we try. ACM: Just looking back through some of my notes... I would like to know where the name Over the Rhine came from. atR: I was always a small town boy. Most of us were raised in rural settings. Ric and Brian and I had some musical opportunities made available to us, which sort of led us to relocate in Cincinnati (which is not a huge city, there's probably two and a half million people in the greater Cincinnati area). But, for some reason, we ended up living right downtown in a little village called Over the Rhine. When we moved down in '88 or so, it was undoubtedly the seediest neighbor hood in Cincinnati ... and now it's sort of appalling in its diversity. You have very rich, art gallery types driving their Jaguars, and then you have the couple of stoned pan handlers with their collective grocery cart hitting people up for change so they can make it through one more night. There are a lot of artists in the neighborhood ... an old German neighborhood, most of the buildings are 100-150 years old. It's really.. .especially when we first moved here ...just an artist's dream environment, because it was so full of imagery. Most of the songs tha t we originally wrote for the band were written in my third story bedroom overlooking the activity on Main Street. We didn't have a name, and we tried the name on .. .it was a perfect fit. We just adopted the name of our neighborhood. ACM: So, it just happened. atR: When we leave Cincinnati, we get a lot of positive feedback on the name. People just assume we're from Europe or something. Here in Cincinnati, it was initially sort of frowned upon because the area was almost an embarrassment to the city. But now it's such a hip place to live, if we're not careful, we'll be associated with some kind of yuppie hangout. But, really, most people aren't familiar with the neighborhood in Cincinnati, an 'album project, it's very much a demo to work quickly, little surprises come up that do get everbody's attention, they can't so it just conjures up some image of a river or project.
