John Ringhofer of Half-Handed Cloud speaks about his faith.
THE INSTRUMENTAL artist Half-Handed Cloud, otherwise known as John
Ringhofer and who plays the Omnichord, a vintage synthesiser/drum
machine/auto harp invented in the '80s, spoke recently about his
Christian faith. Ringhofer told HM magazine, "There's a lot to rejoice
about but I wouldn't necessarily consider Half-Handed Cloud 'happy music.' I hope
it's a bit more realistic than that. Of course, joy is in there quite
a bit but any kind of seeking after the Creator (or an opening of
ourselves to be found by him) is obviously going to be filled with a
lot of mystery." Half-Handed Cloud's early albums have been
released in the UK while Ringhofer describes the band's latest 'Halos
& Lassos' as "more focussed and integrated."
