November / December 2008 * THANK YOU for visiting this site! It's nice for you to drop by...RACHEL'S are in "deep hibernation" right now... so no news regarding albums or tour!
However - our close friend and longtime collaborator GREG KING has completed a film that we're very excited about. "ROTATING MIRROR" is a 50 minute document of life in NYC, Louisville, and in between... We provided the score (some new stuff, some archive material and a few soundpieces)
