Hunter Bell combines a plethora of experimental instruments and devices, unconventional musical methods and anti-theories, improvised soundscapes, auditory collages, controlled chaos, spoken word(s), and found sounds, to create elemental concepts and environmental structures of culminating beauty, as well as dark, tortured intensity. His developmental layers of anti-rhythmic atmospherics, otherworldly melodies, cacophonous vocals, and onliest/solo symphonic(s) is an evolving devolution of sensory overload and unparalleled decay. 

Hunter Bell invites you to experience an evening of conception(s) and misconception(s), creation(s), development(s), direction(s) and misdirection(s), evolution(s) and devolution(s), provocation and destruction; an INSTANT of birth, activation, realization, frustration, desperation, disintegration, violation(s), transmission, circulation, calculation, reconciliation, confirmation, annihilation, conclusion(s). . .

Blissful and brutal. Delicate, yet savage. 

This event is free and open to the public.

"Art on R Mountain 2011"

I removed a few images and video of my favorite times in any possible memory. For now, I must save recorded times and share with few. But there is no reason for alarm. There is no reason to worry. All is fine.
