The Hidden Folk

Critically acclaimed performance artist Robin Crutchfield moved to New York in the '70s, only to crossover from art into music with his no-wave band D.N.A., recording tracks for Brian Enos historic No New York album. This was followed by Dark Day, a series of collaborations with Nina Canal, Nancy Arlen, Tuxedomoon, Jim Jarmusch, and others. Trading plastic transistors and wires for wood and strings in 2000, he went green, taking up ancient instruments, harps, drums, lyres, and psalteries. He currently pursues and explores acoustic trancelike daydream-scapes of the mysterious and elusive inhabitants of an otherworld most have only experienced through folktale and fable.
