National Hotel

About Me

-----National Hotel is a musical/theatrical organization specializing in the art of live performance. National Hotel and its members are strongly devoted to their global outreach program of freedom and discovery through musical celebration. Channelling ancient tribal rhythms, preciously metallic dreamscapes, and diversely fused melodies and arrangements, National Hotel delivers dramatic musical movements ranging from the transcendently hypnotic to the utterly alarming.--------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- -----Based in the Highlands of Louisville, Kentucky and founded in the autumn of 2004, National Hotel has put as its primary focus sessions of composing and rehearsing hours of interactive material. These conjuring sessions have provided and continue to provide National Hotel's elusive members with time to experiment with instrumental alchemy. As well as the traditional rock band instruments such as drumkit, electric guitars, and bass guitars, National Hotel has also been incorporating state of the art synthesizers, a wide variety of ethno-acoustic percussives, field recordings, samples, digital and analog effects, saxophones, wind instruments, and the acoustic flamenco guitar.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------National Hotel has also completed two studio projects with the help of Logan Street Studios in Louisville. These projects, "The Legend Of The Non-Denominational Pyramid" (2006) and "A Handbook Of Observances And Antidotes" (2007), are a mere audio-glimpse at what National Hotel brings to their live shows. National Hotel is also currently working on compiling a live cd featuring shows from touring 8 U.S. states. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------Highly influenced by other fields of study such as astronomy, physics, geometry, mythology, mysticism, meditation, biology, and science fiction, National Hotel forges ahead with a guaranteed unique approach to musical formats and provocatively inspiring vibrations. Thank you for taking the time to read this "bio" and welcome to the International Hotel of Sound and Discovery. We definitely appreciate your attention and hope to provide you with a clever and resourceful outlet for entertainment and, possibly, enlightenment.
