about

Visions from New England’s darkest shadows…

These four variations on a Theme appear in the soundtracks for Boston Undead Production’s web series

“Deliciously Decayed” (A punk rock travel show featuring dark history from New England and beyond)

and

“From the Void with Love” (A tale of supernatural rage)

The textures and atmospheres heard are produced in real-time by playing guitar through digital sound design environments created by Byrd; there are no overdubs, backing tracks, looping, or additional instrumentation used.

Summoning alluring musical environments with the guitar has always been important to him. This creative impulse came into focus through conversations with renowned light artist James Turrell at the University of Delaware, when Byrd was a student there and assisting Turrell with building his "Jida" installation. A chance meeting with guitar icon John Fahey was another transformative experience. Fahey, who happened to be shopping in the same record store as Byrd, bought an early demo copy of Byrd's first album as it played over the store’s sound system. The encouragement and insights Fahey offered during that encounter has had a lasting influence.

Byrd performs in a wide variety of venues, from clubs and cafes to galleries and libraries. Some of his past shows have taken place at the legendary CBGB, Burning Man (at which he first performed his live guitar score to the 1928 classic silent film "La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc"), the Queens Museum of Art, and the Southworth Planetarium. His music has been used as the soundtrack for several independent films, and has been included in a recent broadcast of NPR's nationally-syndicated program "Hearts of Space". The 2020 Amazon Prime Original film “Witch Hunters” features Byrd’s music as its score.
