FOWL

FOWL is Noah Campbell and a basement full of instruments. Growing up in Northern Ontario in the small forestry town of Kapuskasing, entertainment was always what you made of it, never short on fascinating individuals. Preferring the drum kit to the hockey stick, Noah learned to improvise in a variety of styles, playing anywhere and with everyone that passed through town. Eventually learning piano, then bass, then guitar, by the time recording equipment was acquired, other musicians were no longer required! Multi-tracking himself on all instruments allowed for a unique form of free improvisation, where the same mind comments upon itself on various instruments, knowing what is coming note by note. What followed were various forms of an ever changing beast, ranging across genres wantonly, instruments falling where they may, commenting upon, or in contrast to what was played before. Meanwhile, Noah’s penchant for playing anywhere, anytime, led him to a year long stint as the drummer for Toronto metal band Nice Cat, touring the northern US. Playing a one off gig at the Waterloo Clay and Glass Museum with a Celtic fusion band called Runners of the Woods. Performing random improvised shows with Jake Neumann. Scoring the music for absurdist Mississauga based Ghostlight Theatre Group. In November 2007, the first FOWL cd was independently commercially released (actually the seventh of MANY completed albums) entitled InaStorMental. Exploring the instrumental side of FOWL’s output, featured are some of his more solid compositions, and a focus on his proficiency for improvisation on the keyboards. Ranging from a psychedelic heavy metal epic featuring Forget Kevin on guitar, to a love inspired jazz waltz, this cd is ECLECTIC. The focus of this CD is FOWL as solid quartet, and leaves behind much of the musique concrete and endless overdubs of found percussion instruments which dominated many earlier albums. Still the element of adventure is ripe and what lies around each musical corner a complete unknown! Dig in and take flight! The new band is called A Year in A Minute featuring Wade Thompson on guitar and synth and Adam Thompson on bass, CHECK IT OUT!PLEASE! Help me feed my baby! BUY MY AMAZING NEW CD InaStorMental!!!! Also available through HMV.
