My Own Invention
Meticulous, yes. Methodical, educated; they were these things. Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. There were days of mistakes and laziness and in-fighting, and there were days, good days, when by anyone’s judgment they would have to be considered clever. No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. It wouldn’t even be considered new, except for maybe in the geological sense. They took from their surroundings what was needed and made of it something more.
My Own Invention is: John Walker & Chad Hagedorn With: Patrick Alan – electric guitar, vocals, Steve Collins – electric guitar, Michele Hagedorn – vocals, James Hannes – percussion, Toby Hansen – accordion, Stephanie Johnson – vocals, Tatyana Prokopets – vocals, Brandon Sprout – electric guitar.

Once Ain’t Enough Once Ain’t Enough
“With an album title drawn from quantum physics, and musical influences from groups like Pink Floyd and Talking Heads, My Own Invention is indeed an intellectual outfit. The Tacoma-based band is a musical collaboration between John Walker and Chad Hagedorn of GreySlade Music, a home recording and media studio. For this project they are joined by a host of other musicians. The result is an album that is quite unique and innovative …”
“The Measurement Problem is an immersive and seductive album. Style and instrumentation vary but there is always a strong sense of passion and character in the vocals… Creative production touches and strong material make this a compelling record.”
Chris Hanzsek of Hanzsek A/V & C/Z Records
