Music should not be bottled up.
Last updated
Gaia Consort was a Seattle-based folk rock group founded in 1997 by Christopher Bingham and Sue Tinney.[1] The group later became known as Bone Poets Orchestra.[1] Their music frequently involved themes of neopaganism, positive sexuality, and polyamory.[2]
Making and release
Gaia Consort released their first album, Gaia Circles, in 1999.[1] Their second album, Secret Voices, followed in 2001.[1] The group released their third album, Evolve, in 2004.[1] Their fourth album, Vitus Dance, was released in 2007.[1]
The group focused on playing at house concerts and self-produced shows.[2] They also performed at events such as Faerieworlds and Heartland Pagan Festival.[2] The group's four albums—Gaia Circles (1999), Secret Voices (2001), Evolve (2004), and Vitus Dance (2007)—were all paid for through listener contributions.[1][2]
What the cited sources add
A 2004 interview in New Witch Magazine noted the group's focus on non-traditional venues like house concerts.[2] The same interview stated that the group's themes made them a favorite of pagan and sexual subcultures in the Pacific Northwest.[2] The interview also reported that all albums were fan-financed through donations.[2]
