The Instruments

Heather McIntosh has been playing cello since she was very young, and she earned a degree in music from the University of Georgia. Heather quickly realized school was not enough of an outlet for her talents. She joined a punk band, Year Zero, in which she played bass. That lasted about a year, then she discovered performance art through Medaglia D'oro and Dixie Blood Mustache. She has been a member of Japancakes, Elf Power, Circulatory System, Great Lakes and Dixie Blood Mustache. She also has played live or recorded with bands such as Lil Wayne, Gnarls Barkley, Animal Collective, and Of Montreal. She released 3 albums with her project The Instruments on Orange Twin between 2003 and 2008. McIntosh has been spending most of her time these days composing for film, but the Instruments still surfaces every now and again.
