Devil Music

Devil Music was founded in 1999 by Brendon Wood to explore the many facets of music (Rock, Electronic, Orchestral, Folk, Improvisation, Incidental, etc.) The name Devil Music was taken from the Fourth Image of George Crumb's "Black Angel's: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land". The group itself was ever-changing, as new members came and went, adding a variety to the sounds, and the style. Starting in 2002, Devil Music settled into the core group of Wood, Rapino (from the acclaimed New Millennium String Ensemble), and Nylander (former member of Say Zuzu). Since then Devil Music has strived to present new, original, diverse works with performances in Boston, the rest of the U.S., and now the world. Devil Music recently finished their first European tour, doing live soundtrack performances to "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" in six countries in Western Europe. The attempt to pigeon hole Devil Music's sound has been frustrating audiences and critics since its incarnation 7 years ago, and will continue as such as long as the love of experimentation stays with the group.
