Finally!

Welcome to our new site. Yes! We are up and running. Our video, Kindermarchen with lyrics by Gregory Maguire, will be out in a few months.







Kimberly Butler directed the short. We are so excited to see it. Many of you already know some of this information, but some might be new, so I'll just rattle it all off one more time.

The Hidden Variable is the brain child of Chris Ewen. He wrote all the music, played all the instruments, except the violin of course.

The Fabulous Lorraine did her magic there. Malena is singing most of the songs and we were graced with two special guests: Claudia Gonson from the Magnetic Fields, and Cosy Fanni Tutti, who has been the queen of punk since before I was in 5th grade. We were very lucky to have such talented people on this project.








Here's the list of authors who wrote songs for the album.

POPPY Z. BRITE
EMMA BULL
CHARLES DE LINT

SHELLEY JACKSON

Feel free to look around the site. It's still under construction, but you will at least get a taste of what's to come. So, post and tell us what you think!

With anticipation,

The Hidden Variable
