Artist History Invocation was conceived in 1996 with a focused direction to "redefine artistic experimentation.." the three mentioned artists inhabited the shifting walls of the "Ravens Nest". There they recorded and honed their craft while frequenting the clubs of the New England and New York (The Knitting Factory) area's. Invocation disbanded shortly after as fate pulled each member in their own direction.. Though they have recently reunited for a week long session in which some 30 odd free compositions were captured on tape soon to be released in the form of a full length CD. Keep posted to this site for further details and updates....
