Borrowing ideas from such diverse sources as Igor Stravinsky, Nine Inch Nails, and Syd Barrett, Gena's second full-length album shows her branching off into different musical directions. In 2007 Gena finished recording and mixing Testament, her second commercial release and first full-length album. The recording session followed 6 months during which Gena trained with famed vocal coach Don Lawrence (Christina Aguilera, Rolling Stones, Bono).Somehow, Gena is completing all of these projects while also studying at the Columbia University School of Law. As part of her coursework, last semester Gena interned for artist Alex Grey at his gallery, CoSM. Grey is popularly known for his album art for such bands as Tool and Nirvana.Mason writes, sings, and plays guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, drum machine, and other percussion.
