New Moon Compilations is a project started in August of 2008. It was started, not only because we are surrounded by wonderful people making all kinds of art and music, we thought it would be a perfect way to keep artists productive, and fresh material in physical format. When we ask people to submit, we encourage people to write a new song, make a new recording, or dig up an old one that has otherwise never seen the light of day. After all, the New Moon is the ceremonial moment of the emptying and refilling of the cosmic vessel. Because the moon cycle is the basis for our ~30 day month (or moonth as it may be) we will try like damn to get one out every New Moon, in all its handmade, affordable glory.
“We” are Charlie Alvarado and Stephanie Gordon, and we live in Austin, Texas.
Stephanie’s brother likes ICP and lives north of Denver where she lived before she went to AZ to become an animator. Then she moved to Austin, started making a lot of cute things, collects owl decorum, plays melodica and continues to inspire all those around her. She gets her jollies from other people being jolly.
Charlie grew up in Houston, Texas and now resides in a creative household in Austin, with a blossoming garden and a piano in the living room. He is constantly involved in interesting projects and collaborations and can be found loving his cat, Kitty Time (R.I.P, sweet cat), experimenting with music and visual art and riding his bike as often as possible.
