John Ireland and Jason Hutchings met circa 2001. Years of musical experimentation ensued which eventually resulted in the current “Books for Seniors” project. See below for a recent album review of 2017’s “Many Faces of Me.”

Album Review of "Many Faces of Me" XPN Philadelphia

"A wash of synth sounds and textures simmers across nine quasi-instrumental tracks by collaborators on Many Faces of Me, the debut from their Books for Seniors project. It’s not entirely accurate to call these instrumentals — there are vocals in the mix, but the vocals act as another instrument in the fray, vocodored and treated and abstracted, seemingly meant more to assume the role of a formless spectre upon which we can project whatever we’re feeling at the moment. The collaboration came together when both longtime friends teamed up not only to make music but fight cancer. As their website tells it, “this collaboration has contributed to the ‘working through’ of the many emotions associated with being diagnosed, treated, ‘Side effected’ and other existential predicaments associated with, not only being alive, but being made to realize how mortal we are.” A beautiful, life-affirming work." --John Vettese
