Artist Rajah Bose shares cross-country train trip through 'The First Sounds' album, film

Artist Rajah Bose, who is also known as Raj Saint Paul, is sharing a cross-country perspective through The First Sounds, a visual album/music film tied to his recent release. The project follows Bose’s month-long Amtrak trip across the U.S. with his wife, artist Ellen Picken, after Bose spent a year celebrating the one-year anniversary of the album’s release. The film will screen Thursday at the Magic Lantern Theatre, with Bose performing live. Proceeds from the screening will support fire relief efforts. Bose describes the album’s inspiration as rooted in long-standing train fascination and earlier musical formation.
