The Van Allen Belt

http://thevanallenbelt.bandcamp.com

This project, localized in Pittsburgh, PA, takes several musical styles to their penultimate using a plethora of sampling, effects, and harmonies- all home recorded and taken to electronically manipulated psychedelic heights in live performances. The songs can be described as skewed or modernized oldies in the sense that delivery and production strive for an identity with respect to diverse classical, jazz, musical theater, operatic, pop, experimental, electronic, and alternative musical upbringings, while the lyrical content is unexpectedly personal and uneasily realistic, yet confident, honest, and straightforward. Very eclectic.
