The Forefront will be returning to perform at the Canvas 5 Art Show at The Element Church in Tampa on Friday October 16th.

The event begins at 8:00pm and will feature various artists from Florida. The Forefront will be performing from 10:30pm to midnight. The group has been working on a recording to be released in late 2009 and will be feature some of the music from this recording as well as various new original pieces as well as some new arrangements of songs by artists such as Britney Spears, Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit, and Deftones.

Canvas is in their sthird year and exists as a annual art premier. This is an excerpt of their purpose statement: “Canvas exists simply to promote a community of inspiration. Our idea, our dream, was born to provide a springboard for up and coming artists, in such a way that would benefit both their craft and career.”

So one of my best mates from college (always wanted to say that. I need to move to London.) and fellow “Composer in Arms” has built a ukulele out of Legos from a youtube video of coarse. The thing is that Ben’s is much more aesthetically pleasing and thus I post! Plus check out his new site! One of his pieces, which sadly I have not heard yet, entitled “Fractal Genesis” yielded this cross medium art. Ben’s a great composer and you can count on him to push the boundaries of sonic painting. Look for some great music coming from this guy! Also, dig his comments in some of the posts on this site.
