Woven Hand is a band from Denver, Colorado led by former 16 Horsepower lead singer David Eugene Edwards. Woven Hand’s music combines elements of neofolk, alternative country, post-rock, punk, industrial music, folk rock, old-time music and native American music, among other influences.
The band began in 2001 as a solo project for Edwards while 16 Horsepower was taking a temporary hiatus. Woven Hand’s first live shows were performed by Edwards and multi-instrumentalist Daniel McMahon; the self-titled debut album was released in 2002 on Glitterhouse Records. Performances following this record featured Edwards, McMahon, drummer Ordy Garrison and cellist Paul Fonfara. 2003 saw the release of Blush Music, the score to a dance performance mostly composed of reworked material from the first record. Touring behind this album featured Shane Trost replacing Fonfara.
In 2004, Consider the Birds was released on the Sounds Familyre label, which has also released the previous Woven Hand releases domestically. Edwards performed the bulk of the instrumentation in the studio; he and Garrison toured behind the record as a two-piece. 16 Horsepower disbanded the following year, and Edwards further focused his attention on Woven Hand. Peter van Laerhoven, a Belgian guitarist, was added to the lineup, while McMahon and Trost became inactive with the group.
After 2006’s Mosaic, Pascal Humbert, a founding member of 16 Horsepower, became the band’s bassist. 2008’s Ten Stones was the first record from the group written and performed collaboratively – the project had thus evolved into a proper band, albeit with Edwards firmly at its head. In 2009, the band operated as a three-piece, sans Van Laerhoven.
Their fifth studio album, The Threshingfloor was released in June 2010. Shortly thereafter, the group announced touring plans opening for the alternative metal band Tool.
September 2012 saw the release of Wovenhand’s sixth studio album, The Laughing Stalk, produced by Alexander Hacke (who along with Edwards is participating in the reunion of Australian post-punk band Crime And The City Solution). Wovenhand’s lineup for the album was changed once again, as Humbert quit and new bassist Gregory Garcia Jr. along with second guitarist Chuck French were brought in. The resulting record was described as being “the most heavy incarnation that ever existed of Wovenhand”.
Ghost Note Project: Invitation to a psychedelic show, where music is the frontman!
The Ghost Note Project is a synthesis of ideas, opinions, a musical starting point, with reference to the need for communication, the agony for the joint creation. This is expressed through their music, which is rich in influences from different musical paths, such as rock, psychedelic, jazz, ethnic.

Thessaloniki, spanning a long historical lifetime, balances between East and West and develops its character through its geographic position at the intersection of sea and land networks and meeting points of historical civilizations and ethnicities. The uninterrupted urban functions and the Balkan hinterland constitute the main differentiation parameters making Thessaloniki unique among Greek cities.
The exhibition presents the late and contemporary architecture heritage of Thessaloniki, while investigating its lifelong, multiple identities through the current city image. The main concept involves the highlighting of progressive trends that have been applied in successive transition phases towards the contemporary reality. The modernization and its adaptation to local idiosyncrasies are presented in a comprehensive manner both for laymen and specialized visitors. The exhibition aims at the creation of an architectural promenade through the actual city, while sections through time and space offer the possibility of discovering unknown perspectives of the contemporary city.
Featuring architectural projects and urban interventions of critical importance and global impact, the show focuses on the stratigraphy of the place and the way the implementations of the projects have shaped the contemporary image of the city.
Presented in a chronological order, the main units of the exhibition cover the primary ottoman modernization (before 1912), the interwar radical urban reconstruction, the postwar/cold war modernization and the contemporary architectural and urban diffuse. The visitors’ itinerary is linear while the inner organization of each unit is multifocal.
The exhibition is organized by the Technical Chamber of Greece/ Sector of Central Macedonia, the A.U.Th. School of Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering and the A.U.Th. Interuniversity Postgraduate Programme of Museology, in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and Thessaloniki’s Concert Hall Organization. Chief curator of the exhibition is Prof. Nikos Kalogirou, A.U.Th. Department of Architecture.
