The Home Page of C. P. McDill

A quick biography: I'm Christopher P. McDill. A visual and recording artist. I was born in the coastal deep south, spent a significant portion of my childhood in Europe, and generally travelled a lot during the early part of my life. I attended college for 8 years, starting as an art student. I changed my academic focus halfway through, and ended up with a degree in Religion/Anthropology. I lived in New York City through the 90s, and in 2002 I moved to Massachusetts, where I've settled in a cozy beach cottage on Cape Cod Bay with my spiritual and artistic collaborator, Aria Nadii.

My creative work explores different methods of appropriation and recontextualization, like mixed media, assemblage, cut-up and aleatory processes. Since 2002 I've been making sound art, applying some of those same concepts (I have recorded over 35 albums, and many more are planned).

I have a hand in numerous recording projects, all on Webbed Hand Records: Saluki Regicide, Djinnestan, Akashic Crow's Nest, Tree Helicopter, Rolling Calf Sinfonette and Rowboat Magicians. I am also curator of a popular ambient project called Rain, which involves CD-length mood pieces recorded by a growing number of artists. The independent record label Webbed Hand Records started early in '03 as a home for my own work, and has since expanded to include work by many other artists, both new and well-established. It's fast becoming one of the top netlabels, and has been getting a lot of play on college radio, podcasts, and netstreams. Visit the homepage of Webbed Hand, where you'll find many dozens of albums completely free to download!
