i sing and play guitar. luke plays guitar and electronics. we are an acoustic electronic band called acoustic chatter from boston, ma. i'm originally from a small town in northeastern pennsylvania. i moved to boston to study songwriting at berklee college of music. ..that's where i met luke, who is originally from buffalo, new york. he studied music synthesis and production at berklee. we self-produced and released our debut album fall down at the charles playhouse, boston on june 30th, 2007. now we are recording our second album universe universe expected out in september 2008. luke's brother tullis designed the artwork for fall down and is designing the album art for universe universe. luke's brother damien and his wife erica (both poets) came up with the album name universe universe when luke asked them to help him name his guitar instrumental "migration" on our debut album. so far we recorded five new songs for universe universe and we'll be streaming the first track in the next week or two on our myspace page. ..
