From the Project Moonbeam CD Baby site: "Chris Fournier released several successful solo electronic/progressive rock CDs in the 1990s under the Fonya psuedonym. Project Moonbeam came about as a collection of pieces he composed after the Fonya years while working to get his professional recording studio understood and operational. In the end, this activity turned out to be an excellent three-year learning experience during which Chris got to work with some very talented musicians (Cyndee Lee Rule, Anthony Fournier, Nick Kerzner, Tobe London, Jim Kelsey, and Steve Bosse) - these recordings are the result." This album is now available as an mp3 download at CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/projectmoonbeam CDs will be available in the coming weeks, as well. For more info: www.myspace.com/projectmoonbeam Hope you like the soundfiles!

Hi Everyone, I have been working very closely with Chris Fournier on some of his amazing prog-rock compositions! The name of our project, and the upcoming album is "Project Moonbeam". Project Moonbeam on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/projectmoonbeam More info, quoted from the PM MySpace: "Project Moonbeam came about as a collection of pieces I composed while working to get my professional recording studio understood and operational. In the end, this activity turned out to be an excellent three-year learning experience during which I got to work with some very talented musicians - these recordings are the result. Many thanks go out to Cyndee Lee Rule (my primary collaborator on this project) for helping me realize this material was ready to be put together and released – without her efforts in this area Project Moonbeam likely would have remained in the studio archives. "Now that the album is full produced, mastered, and ready to go, I am currently seeking a label to do the pressing and distribution - interested labels please send an email to this account! "In the event a label is not brought on-board, this music will be self-released. I will most likely attempt to sell select Project Moonbeam MP3s from this site to raise money for the pressing - your support will be greatly appreciated!" -Chris Fournier Hope you will enjoy the soundfiles! We'd appreciate your feedback, too! Cyndee

Hi Everyone, Last night was Jeff and my annual Ssssssssssspace Jam!! We do it on the last Saturday of the year, unless it falls on New Year's, then it's the previous Saturday. In attendance last night: members of Brainstatik, members of the Red Masque, members of Radio Eris, plus many others. Instrumentation included: electronic drums, moog little phatty, several theramins, ssssspacey vocals, basses, guitars, noise generators, Shakuhashi and Native American flutes, rainsticks, various percussion instruments, a few toys, and the Viper! The music started around 10:00 PM and was an ever-morphing ensemble, with people joining in, then going into the kitchen to eat and drink. But there was live music going on consistantly until around 2:00. It was the best Ssssssspace Jam ever!!! Thanks to everyone who came out to play and listen!! Looking forward to next year already! Cyndee
