Enid's own musician Grey featured in 'Acoustical Grey' in Muskogee

“Acoustic Grey,” the latest music documentary project by Diana Lang, will be screened at the 2008 Bare Bones Film Festival in Muskogee and is nominated for Best Music Documentary. A special screening is slated from 7:45 to 10:45 tonight at Max’s Garage, 116 N. Main, Muskogee.

The film showcases Enid musicians Jason Harbour, Mikey Harbour and a singer/songwriter known only as Grey as they play Grey’s original pop music at Db Studios in November 2006. The project is an acoustic history, spanning from the early period of Grey’s songwriting from “Faded Colours” to the most recent tracks from “Words & Music.”

A prolific song writer, Grey has been writing songs since 1981, when he joined the band Elixir, which opened for Richie Havens at the Myriad in Oklahoma City. Grey cites his influences as the progressive art rock of the 1970s and 1980s, especially that of Rush and Yes, and the 1960s rock and pop of acts like the Doors and the Beatles. Fans have compared his sound to David Bowie, Phish and Pink Floyd.

He met filmmaker Lang in the late 1990s through their shared love of languages and formed a creative partnership that has lasted almost a decide, with Lang creating the visuals that enhance Grey’s music.

Lang has a degree in Film & Video Studies from the University of Oklahoma. Her 2005 film, “The Hebrew Project,” was created almost entirely in Hebrew, and chronicles the development of the Hebrew program at the University of Oklahoma. It is currently featured on The Jewish Channel, an on-demand television network in New York.

In 2003, Lang served as editor for Charles Maupin’s “Liquid Wind” and cut the film trailer which won Best Trailer at the 2004 Bare Bones Film Festival. In both 2003 and 2004, Lang was named Producer of the Year for PEGASYS, and in 2002, she was named Best Editor. Previously, Lang worked for television stations TV4OU, in Norman and KXOK in Enid. She now lives in the San Francisco bay area where she works as an editor of environmental reports.

Since 2000, Grey has self-released eight classic rock inspired music albums. In collaboration with Lang, Grey has also released several award-winning music videos, which have been seen across the country on indie music video programs and garnered thousands of views on online video sharing sites, such as youtube.com. Grey is currently working on his latest album, “Ice World.”
