099: Nick Ciontea, of brownshoesonly


In episode 099, of Notes and Bolts, we're veering off a bit from talking to the musicians to talking to one of the dudes creating the visuals at many of the shows you've likely seen in the last several years. Nick Ciontea, aka brownshoesonly, is the man behind the visuals that have come to be synonymous with folks running the gamut from Shape Shoppe bands like Chandeliers, Deep Sleep, and Songs For Gods, onward to venerable events like Chicago Psych Fest. Listen in and get fascinated.

_ There are big things on the horizon for Jonathon Bates, the man behind BBD. A wonderful fusion of hard hitting rock and epic synth leads. Former projects include Mellowdrone and touring member of m83

SONOIO - Houdini
This is the solo project of Alessandro Cortini (NIN). Alessandro has become a wonderful long distance friend of mine over that past few years.. And I've had the honor of doing a few shows with him. Jonathon Bates of BBD also provides backup vocals.
