Look What Turned Up On Our Doorstep!

Posted on June 27, 2018 by Maya Bohnhoff

Yes indeed. Here they are, many boxes of Schrödinger’s Hairball.

This answers the question as to whether the CDs exist or do not exist. They DO exist! They are obtainable directly from us, from CDBaby(in a week or two), or–if you prefer downloads—from BandCamp. And if you attend science fiction gen-cons or filk-cons, you will be able to purchase these mysterious items from the usual suspects.

Yes! They will be available at Westercon. Glad you asked. 🙂 We will also be performing in the filk hall and in the main venue. Check your convention schedules for show times.

Of course, if you buy the physical CD, you have all the stunning artwork by none other than Beckett Gladney, who also plays harmonica and adds vocal talent to the album.

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.

The Many Faces of Jeff & Maya

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Maya Bohnhoff

Occasionally, our faces turn up in cartoon or art form. I’m hoping to put together a gallery of these cool doodles, but because we machines and people are working hard on Mary Crowell’s new music album—Scattering Seeds on the Pomegranate Tour—I’m gonna start with this two imaginative renderings of us.

This is Jeff as Jeff Vader, God of Mixing and me (Maya) as Calliope. The magpie is there because that’s what my daughters call me. (Ooo, shiny!)

Maya - Calliope

Jeff Vader, God of Mixing

I should note that we’re shooting to release Mary’s album at Conflikt 10 in Seattle (Jan 27 – Jan 29th, 2017).
