"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

Ian Alexy is a dynamic singer/songwriter/guitarist. His new CD Rootedness is a ten song collage of original poetry, deft finger-picking, jazzy melodies, and the heart-warming tales of a well-traveled 27 year old young man.

In 1995 Ian studied jazz harmony and guitar at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston Ma. "It was an amazing time, there was a wide pool of creativity to draw from. I think that I may have learned more playing in student's apartments than in the classroom."

Christine's perfomance style "lets her music invite you into her world...Costanzo has a beautiful voice that exudes a sense of weariness with a touch of hope". Her recent debut CD "Big Sky" has been described as "Dreamy, and often more like musical poetry, these are confessional and heartfelt soliloquies...the whole project looks and sounds like the wide open hills and horse land praries that inspired it."
