Intervision
|
2010 dawns the advent of Intervision. What is Intervision? It’s the collective efforts of musicians devoted to the art of sonic quality, blending the diversity of their histories with the unified direction of their artistic endeavors. It believes that coalescing fine ingredients with a refined recipe can deliver an exceptional musicality. Featuring a cast of professional players, Intervision draws upon the strengths of its members to create a soulful, groovy playlist of pop music for adults.
Intervision’s 2010 self-titled release introduces the audience to the concept of Intervision in its purist form. Combining elements of soul, jazz, and funk within the construct of adult-flavored pop, Intervision reminds listeners of a time when a record had a character, when the listener wasn’t asked to choose between a cool groove and an introspective lyric, when playing ones’ instrument well was not only revered, but a natural component of the music scene.
They began at a college, and as they continued to develop their skills and expand their education, they wrote and gigged. They opened for some great bands, and they played some great rooms. They recorded a couple albums, sold a bunch of them, got some airplay and then began to open for better bands and play better rooms. Since 2003, Intervision has polished and developed their sound into a musical samurai, seeking only the reclamation of honor to the popular music genre. Intervision is taking back pop, and they welcome all who wish to join their campaign.
Is Intervision for you? If you are weary of lyrical lamentations of a broken heart, if you reminisce of the days when a record told a compositional story, if you like music to move you in your seat, and then, perhaps, move you right out of your seat, then prepare yourself for what you’ve been waiting for…this is Intervision.

McKinley

Christine McKinley grew up in Alaska where she learned to shoot a pistol and use a CB radio. She then attended Catholic school in California, despite not being one bit Catholic. There she learned "Hail Mary" in Spanish and how to gracefully jump a chain link fence in a plaid skirt. Her love of physics propelled her to get a mechanical engineering degree. Her fascination with biblical history inspired her to ride through the Holy Land on a bicycle where was escorted out of the West Bank by an Israeli army jeep.
McKinley’s musical about physics and Catholic school, "Gracie and the Atom," received an NEA grant and will debut in Portland, OR at Artist’s Rep Theater in April 2010. She is currently living in Portland and Los Angeles.
