F.A.Q.  
  · who and what is nova•luna?

willi on keyboards, brian peters on percussion and rythym guitar, ric gonzalez on bass, and Mr. norman Z on the drum set. Also playing with the band are horns such as Marcus, Dan Peters, and Buck Rodgers on alto/tenor sax, trombone and trombone respectively, and other musicians.

· how long have they been around?

brian and willi have been playing together since the sunset 5 days, but nova•luna started in earnest back in July 2001 with brian, ric, and willi.

· what does nova•luna mean?

nova luna means 'new moon' in many languages. however, a supernova is when an old sun or star explodes, and in the case of nova•luna, nova is meant to be the sun. sun and moon, a celestial oxymoron, if you will. or something.

· what is that character that keeps showing up in between nova•luna?

on a computer its just supposed to be a dot, although in the full logo it is a ying-yang with the om over it, a 'yom' symbol.

· and about that logo..

pictures of the sun from two different light bands combined on the left are coming around the moon on the right. a pretty sight that would never exist in nature as far as we know, as the sun is orders of magnitude larger in size compared to the moon.

the text is made out of pictures of the sun and moon as well, with a ying-yang with the om over it, a 'yom' symbol, in between the two.

recent press and appearances
   
television  
 

members of nova•luna are making an appearance in the introductory sequence for Buck Rodgers Hawaiian Beat television show on O'lelo channel 52 every saturday and wednesday evenings. this introductory sequence was painstakingly 3d animated and features advanced particle systems and other graphic effects. this version of the intro will begin airing in a few weeks.

members of nova•luna as well as the nova•luna logo are prominently featured as Buck Rodgers goes flying around on his rocketship past other bands such as Natural Vibrations and celebrities such as Don Ho.

radio  
 

nova•luna, which recently released a demo disc of music available here, will be making a live appearance on the University of Hawai'i radio station KTUH on Monday, October 29 10pm HST! KTUH broadcasts as 90.3 in Honolulu, and 91.3 for the North Shore and 89.7 for Hawai`i Kai. The station also broadcasts over Oceanic Digital Cable and streams to the internet.

Special thanks go out to Steve 'the dirty one', who broadcasts some fine blues out of KTUH and helped line up nova•luna with the wonderful James Dorsey, who will be hosting the live broadcast.

 
web


  phish.net has featured the nova•luna album in their recommended music list. be sure to check it out and cast a vote for it here!

Update: It looks like we were the focus of an internet prank; its a long story that maybe I will detail in the comments section if you really want to know, but suffice it to say that the vote count is inaccurate and the voting system on the phish.net Recommended Music List is suspect to being abused in its current form...oh well.

post any other comments or suggestions in the forum, thanks!
