Music: Oft dark, twangly, crackly indie, mostly acoustic.
Inspiration: GOD, ANGELS, DEATH, LOVE, all filtered through my mind's inescapable pre-ocupation with the old Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
Group Members:
Daniel P. Hansche
music, etc
RPM demos, works-in-progress, or tracks-finished-early... a musical sketchbook. This is just a sampler -- complete and finished albums will be uploaded into the real jukebox in March!
With inspiration from many an old-time genre, here offered are songs of the oldest topic & theme. Old time relics wrapped around contemporary come together and infiltrate the mind in their catchy, timeless ways.
Band Bio:
Black Window Music grew for years in the back of Daniel P. Hansche/Earnest Walter IVY's mind until February 2007. Having been made aware of the RPM Challenge, the music itself insisted on leaving its place of inception, the mind, and making its way to the people.

Band Bio:
Daniel P. Hansche had been writing songs for way too long to have never made a finished recording project. With the help of his new MacBook, Garageband software and the support of the Portsmouth community, he set out to do just that. The album was completed February 27th and crossed the finish line at 5:30pm February 28th.
