Alec K. Redfearn (Composer) is a composer/songwriter/free improviser/accordionist who has been based in Providence, RI, for 15 years, and has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. He has played in over 30 bands and has been involved with dozens of theatre, dance, and film collaborations. His main band since 1997 has been Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores, which has performed as a chamber trio or quartet with accordion and strings, as a rock trio of accordion, guitar and drums, and as a big band with strings, guitars, drums, electronics, brass, and hurdy-gurdies. Alec’s compositions are fiercely individual and very difficult to categorize. Last month, The Village Voice wrote that in their new album, the Eyesores “alternately wriggle through the grit like Tom Waits with a throat full of honey and approximate the lost Hindi blaxploitation film music of Weimar-era cabaret.” Alec has created soundtrack music for several film projects by Laura Colella. In the past, they also collaborated on a number of short video works that were projected with live musical accompaniment for a recurring Providence event called Movies with Live Soundtracks. Currently, they are working on a film for Alec’s half-hour song cycle entitled I am the Resurrection and the Light.
