Physick's Songs for Friends
Physick's debut album Songs for Friends is the first offering of musical compositions from NFfCR Music Director, Phil Hodges, in collaboration with NFfCR President, Michael Minkoff. As one would expect from the title, the record is a compilation of songs written for friends in various circumstances: waiting in prison, under persecution, struggling with drug addiction, fighting against cancer, etc. Musically, the record explores a large amount of territory, ranging from sixties throwbacks with Brian Wilson-like layered backing vocals all the way to deconstructed ambient electronica and a good bit of lounge jazz, classical orchestration, and indie rock mixed in between.

Shoal Creek Valley

We’re in the process of finishing up the mixing for our Shoal Creek Valley EP. We need about $1200 to master and replicate it. If you would be willing to help with this, it would be much appreciated. All proceeds from the sale of the EP go to the Boyds, Crawfords, and Lees–three families devastated by the recent tornadoes in Alabama. You can listen to one of the songs, In the Whirlwind by Physick, right here on our site! It tells the story of the Crawfords and Boyds in the Crawfords’ basement waiting out the tornado. The picture to the left was taken from the Crawfords’ basement landing a few days after the storm.

The New Website is Coming Together!

Posted on: July 6th, 2011 by Michael Minkoff No Comments

It has been some time, but we are finally getting a new website together. It should be much more easy to use, and it is extraordinarily easy for me to update. In the coming weeks, we will be adding products and content to the site, but it may take a little while to work out all of the bugs. I hope you enjoy the new format, and I appreciate your patience as we get this going. Many thanks to Rusty Hein who coded this whole thing for the Foundation gratis (“That means free, bro”). I hope you all like it. Let us know if anything is or is not working out by leaving a comment.
