The Young Scamels

In 2008, Christian Frederickson, Greg King, and Jason Noble were commissioned by the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville to compose and perform original music for a production of The Tempest, by William Shakespeare.  The production was directed by ATL’s Artistic Director Marc Masterson, and featured the work of resident Sound Designer Matt Callahan (pictured clutching Elmo).  Tickle-me Elmo was the mascot of the project.
The group will be releasing a CD of the music under the band name ‘The Young Scamels’ sometime in 2009.  ’Scamels’ are mentioned by Caliban in The Tempest as some sort of tasty treat found among rocks near the sea.

RACHEL’S

For twelve years, Greg was a touring member and collaborator with the band rachel’s.  During this time, he created numerous experimental Super 8 films that were projected as a visual accompaniment to the band’s live shows.  Their tours took them across the United States and to several countries in Europe and Asia.  In addition to being the resident ‘visualist’ of the band, Greg played percussion, keyboard, and vibraphone on several songs.  Greg also collaborated with the band on their CD/LP record packaging, both designing and printing the booklets that accompanied four of their six releases.
