Koji and the Colormake Crew

[natedorough]

My friend Andrew is the heart of Koji on the Roof, a DIY touring acoustic musician from Harrisburg, PA. He's started a new collective of artists and musicians from that area called the Colormake Crew.

There's not a whole lot of info online, but does this make anyone sad at how shallow some of our scene kids are?

It's an ingenious idea, to mix art and music like this. Scott, it's like your label idea. I'll have to let you borrow the disc he just gave me. It's amazing.

I don't understand the scene kid comment...

This sounds like a pretty darn cool idea, and the music is not bad at all.

scene kids = kids that are a part of our scene.

What he means is that while our scene is kind of like a competition, koji and his crew are all banding together with kids from all around their scene to help each other out instead of one up each other.

Yes, kinda. I just wish there was more music that was artistically thought out. Kids around see a kid play double bass, and it's automatically awesome, even if it's awful.

You gotta start somewhere, but take a few minutes to put some effort into diversifying your sound and being creative.

I don't know, I'm just complaining. I don't think kids around here would "get" Koji, which is sad.

Ah, I see your point now. And I do agree, I think a lot of kids wouldn't be able to appreciate it.
