I highly recommend Sorne for crossover prog.
http://vimeo.com/39990896 http://sorne.bandcamp.com/ Amazing artist that creates very compelling conceptual shamanic rock opera type albums. He makes a lot of instruments by hand.

Read about this guy on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SORNE.
Morgan Sorne (born July 24, 1983), known in his solo music project as SORNE, is an American singer-songwriter, composer, multi-media artist, music producer, and actor based in Austin, Texas. His musical style has been described as tribal, electronica, avant-garde, avant pop, alternative rock, and electro-space-folk. Though sometimes associated with the broad genre of rock, his songs feature no electric guitars, conventional bass instruments, or conventional drum sets. His music utilizes layered vocal samples and unconventional (mostly hand-made) instrumentation. He was a Texas Biennial artist in 2009, and in 2013 won the Austin Chronicle 2013 Avant Garde Artist of the Year award. The following text is also included on bandcamp's page for his first album 'House Of Stone': http://sorne.bandcamp.com/album/house-of-stone. SORNE has written over 80 songs which tell the story of the House of Stone saga through the points of view of the five main characters: First Born, Second Sun, Black Sister, Little Brother, and Blue Sister. House of Stone is the name of both the entire saga and the first album, which was released in 2011 and featured 13 songs written by Sorne including "Golden Death Chant". Speaking on the origins of the House of Stone saga, SORNE has said, "I guess it started with a series of short stories that I wrote when I was 17 or 18 years old. These stories were based on family members. I always felt drawn to finding a harmony between storytelling, music, art, and performance." The saga is told through multiple media in addition to the songs: images illustrating the characters and important symbols from the story, written descriptions of the characters, music videos depicting the characters and moments from the story, and a short film, SORNE: Children of the Black Mountain, which premiered at the SXSW film festival in 2012. This is somewhat unusual music to say the least - I'm not sure that Crossover Prog would be the most appropriate place to file it, but let's see what others think...

For some reason this music really connects with me. I have an affinity for people who make their own instruments - or like here make use of whatever they find on their path in life, a trash can - old beat up guitar you name it. There's a reverence there....something that speaks about the man behind. Life in every aspect of the world......if you just look hard enough.
I agree with you Dave - this is certainly not your everyday music, but the song structures and, particularly, vocal driven melodies often touch upon old chant/blues structures - even if the music sounds far removed from especially the latter. To my ears this sounds like a modern take on Jon Anderson's Olias of Sunhillow. Xover seems alright to me - I'll swing it by the boys

Where else would you put him besides cross-over? Prog folk?

Probably best if we let Scott answer this one, David.
This music is getting quite a mixed reception down in the Crossover cave: Sorne
A 'yes', a 'no' and a 'move'! It'd be interesting to read what's been written underneath the stalactites about these guys...

Like I said in the xover thread, I'm perfectly fine with either sub. Folk seems just as adequate.

Being a local Austin band, I've seen SORNE play around town pretty often. I never really thought he was progressive at the time (otherwise I might have suggested him myself) but I'm pleased to see he is here and getting some attention! Watching him craft these songs in a live ritual is something even more. I'm not sure exactly what he's doing, but he's really into his work and that's what counts.

Doesn't sound a bit like Jandek, but that's the first person that came to mind when listening to this guy.
Seems like Avant or Psych would at least be considerations, but I'd be okay with him in Prog Folk, somewhere in the neighborhood of Larkin Grimm. Will see what Ken has to say. |
