Harmony Heifers

Once upon a time in a verdant and hilly land, there was a rambling stupid-big house with a studio inside. And in this studio—owned and operated by none other than Chef Jeff Vader, All-powerful God of Biscuits (and Master of Toast)—we recorded a marvelous album of mostly a cappella music with Christine Dickenson-Connor and Elizabeth "The Creature" Burnham, whom we love and adore. We called the group and it's output Harmony Heifers and if you follow this link, you will find yourself a click away from purchasing some of all of that wild and crazy venture into the land of Mooooooo!

The Truth Behind Schrödinger’s Hairball

Posted on June 22, 2018 by Maya Bohnhoff

In his famous 1935 thought experiment, Erwin Schrödinger presented a scenario in which a hypothetical cat in a closed box might be simultaneously dead and alive, with its state only revealed when observed from outside.

In our endless quest to bring scientific buzzwords into the world of music, we have created an audio experiment known as Schrödinger’s Hairball, in which a collection of songs, through a process of parodic superposition might or might not be parodies of classic rock songs.

The album was created under rigorous experimental conditions, exploring a range of pop culture subjects all in the name of science and cheap humor. We will only know for sure whether the songs are “real” or parody when you observe them by listening.

We look forward to your reports with the answer to this vexing parody paradox.

Thank you,

Jeff

Schrödinger’s Hairball is Coming Up!

Posted on June 13, 2018 by Maya Bohnhoff

A note from Chef Jeff Vader, All-Powerful God of Biscuits:

Maya and I are getting close to releasing Schrödinger’s Hairball, our new album of classic rock parodies. I’ve worked pretty hard recording and producing this, but what really makes it fun and special for me are all the contributions other people have made. One person in particular has been crucial in making this album what it is, my long time musical partner Maya. We’ve been creating music together for almost 40 years now, and I still feel lucky I get to work with her.

Those of you who have been fortunate enough to hear her sing know that Maya has a beautiful voice, with perfect control. She can belt out a rock or blues song, or sing a delicate ballad or folk song with equal skill. On this album, she has done an amazing job of adopting the vocal styles of the various singers of the original songs we are parodying. Considering that they are all male singers, it’s particularly impressive. Whether it’s Sting, Freddie Mercury, Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel, etc., she manages to bring all her unique vocal gifts to each song, while adding little touches that recall the original singers.

Note: That the image accompanying this post is the paper-tablecloth scribble Maya made at a family gathering that started the cover creation process.
