Death to MiLkBabY! LONG LIVE MiLkBabY!News Tue, Oct 28, 2008 Press release from Barry Bennett of MiLkBabY: What is this my beloved?!? What are you saying?? I am saying that after 11 years, 5 albums, and thousands of miles on the van; MiLkBabY will cease to be an active band. Are you sad? I am too, a little; but I also feel liberated and excited. Probably going all the way back to when the "classic" MiLkBabY broke apart with davidly and tracee leaving town, there has been one hidden ingredient in all the wonderful yummy things that I have been blessed to do with my MiLkBabY band mates: fear. Fear of letting something that loved and that was special go. Fear of starting over. Fear of change. I hid all this fear from myself even as I did go and create new things (things we loved doing) with darren and sophie and Kristin, but the fear (as it always does) holds us back and this shadow ghost of MiLkBabY kept hanging over the shoulder of the new MiLkBabY. Lately, that shadow is blocking too much of the light. It took great conversations with Darren for me to realize that this. MiLkBabY can be the seed, but it has to grow into something new. I am a slow learner, but at least I learn! What is that seed going to grow into?? THE IMPENDING BEHAVIOR ORCHESTRA. What is The Impending Behavior Orchestra? The Impending Behavior Orchestra is a modular sound / light/ movement performance group based in Chicago led by musician/composer/sound designer Barry Bennett along with video artist, Kristin Reeves. IBO is modular in the sense that it can manifest itself in many forms and purposes. As few as two or as many as 10 collaborators. IBO can manifest as a concert in a club, an interactive piece of dance theater, a component of a full theatrical production, full on frenzy or as still as a gallery Right now, IBO does not have an official site, but IBO does have a myspace site: |
