<--- Colin Baxter: (Music) Colin Baxter has been writing songs made mostly by stitching schizotypal fragments of notes and lyric together. Amidst habitual experiences of panic, fear, ruination and guilt, bouyancy has developed by the externalization of feeling. Reveling in multiple viewpoints, decentralization of self relieves distress and creates a net against oblivion. Aiming to change his need to change, illustrating vistas in which time becomes space and space becomes presence, looking and listening--all things are telling their story. Together with friends Mika, Nathan and Anna they bring to The New Yinzer a collection of songs. Violins, accordian, vocals, acoustic guitar and bass will be present.
