Loch Lomond "Blue Lead Fences" video - Alicia J. Rose's directorial debut!


Finally, I can share this with y'all...Here's the music video I directed for the fantastic PDX chamber folk combo - Loch Lomond. It was released into the world today, just in time for their November jaunt with another incredible PDX group - The Decemberists. Shot entirely on Super 8 over a lush August weekend at Milo Mciver State Park in Estacada, Oregon, the video is an eerie lo-fi masterpiece casting the co-ed chamber pop septet as a wayward cult on a determined journey toward a watery end..
Enjoy and here's looking forward to more directorial fun!

News Oct 08!

Rangefinder Feature


The nice folks at Rangefinder Magazine did a little feature on my work in their October issue. They called it Deep Inside The Rabbit Hole with Alicia J. Rose....it's nice. It features various music pix, ballet pix and portraits. If you'd like to peep - click here! For a more in depth and impromptu slice, keep an ear and and eye on their sister content site - Rangefinder Radio. They will be posting an interview they did with me in the next few days!



Loch Lomond Music Video


The finishing touches are being put on my first official foray into directing. Portland chamber-folk combo Loch Lomond were the subjects, and the soundtrack is an amazing tune entitled Blue Lead Fences that is off their as yet unnamed '09 release. Shot entirely on Super 8, it's a dark and vividly colorful document of a small cadre's' journey through the woods to a watery and mysterious end. It should be out in the public sphere soon....check my blog for updates.




Hearts & Daggers Update


People are saying very nice things about my recently released accordion/violin/voice duet album as Miss Murgatroid with the multi-talented Miss Petra Haden. It's called Tucson Weekly.

This is an album that exists in its own magical aesthetic realm, or better yet an infinite number of them all at once. - DustedMagazine.com

Hearts & Daggers is a modern and moving piece of craftsmanship. - Portland Monthly

If your interest is piqued, you can (finally!) download and listen to Hearts & Daggers for yourself via Itunes or procure the corporeal version (featuring stunning art by Christine Shields) at a music retailer near you! Petra is also featured on her father, Charlie Haden's new album Rambing Boy...Congrats to the Hadens for a wonderful effort!



Recently Captured...

Lots of new work just uploaded to my trusty and ever evolving Flickr portal...including Fall Fashion from visionary Portland fashion designer Liza Rietz, conceptual/promo photos for musicians Stephanie Schneiderman and Oracle and lots lots more. Keep an eye on the Newsstands for the Winter '08 issue of Bitch Magazine - I shot a forest still life for the cover. Quite festive and fancy. Of course, I'm always finding interesting reasons to make images, so if you wish to be kept ridiculously up in my picture taking biznatch, sign up for my RSS feed on Flickr. It's fun.
