"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.

Harrison Brady Overdrive, or "HBO" (not to be confused with HBO, the premium cable channel that offers such fine programming as "The Sopranos", as well as a number of other shows that contain lots of swearing, that being the whole raison d---etre of cable television), is a string/percussion duo consisting of Randal Harrison and Geoffrey Brady. Employing such instruments as the violin, the vibraphone, Randal's vocals, the theremin, the electric cuica, and the chincello, HBO features improvisations based on the original compositions of the duo's (two) members, as well as EXCITING NEW interpretations of the works of such diverse composers as Debussy, Piazzolla, Schoenberg, Monk and others. Plus, HBO, like HBO, uses a lot of profanity and charges a reasonable fee for this service.
