About
The Discovery Project is an exciting and exploratory multimedia endeavor, featuring original music compositions and interactive visual mediums. Tonight's show features a stellar Seattle-based rhythm section.
Originally conceived to accompany Josh Nelson's album "Discoveries" (2011, Steel Bird Music), the Project continues to journey into the world of video art and live musical accompaniment. It showcases historically significant science-fiction cinema, with new music inspired by visionaries Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and Nikola Tesla. The latest addition to the Project is "The Rovers of Mars", which was conceived to celebrate the 2012 landing of the Curiosity Rover on the Red Planet. Other 'mash-ups' with video will include a tribute to Elliot Smith, the 1974 classic "Chinatown", and film great Peter Sellers. ...
