The National: "The Alcott" (Originals)

Original Soundwaves Artwork created from the audio of The National's "The Alcott," their song featuring Taylor Swift of their album First Two Pages of Frankenstein. All four artworks were hand signed by the band before their November 17 show at the Moody Center in Austin, TX in 2023.

Each piece also features the lyric "I get myself twisted in threads to meet you at The Alcott / I go to the corner in the back where you'd always be / There you are sitting as usual with your golden notebook / writing something about someone who used to be me" written by Matt and printed onto the artwork. Bryce also hand-wrote the song title on each artwork.

The National kindly signed these fine art canvases to raise money for the band's own crew and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Our Mission

FAQs

Integrity, honesty, and upholding our reputation are paramount to us. Over the past decade, we have been able to work with more than 400 world famous musicians. There is no way we would have been able to make it in the music industry without a sterling track record of honesty and transparency. 

Since we started this project over 10 years ago, every single one of our pieces has been hand signed by the associated artist, unless otherwise stated. We also include a Certificate of Authenticity with each print to certify they are hand-signed. 

Yes! We donate on average $1M to charity each year. The profits from each print go directly to the non-profit listed on its product page. We mostly focus our fundraising on a few key areas: refugee rights, environmental stewardship, social and racial equality, mental health, music education, and disaster relief.

Each signed print measures 24″ x 24″ and is hand signed by the musician. They are part of a larger run of prints, typically with 50-100 copies signed in total. Our unsigned prints, which come in a standard and a mini size, feature the same design as the signed print, but do not have the musician's autograph. They are still limited edition and are signed by Soundwaves Art creator, Tim Wakefield.

Our Originals measure 38″ x 38″ and often feature a lyric or the title of the song written by the artist in addition to their signature. These are much more limited edition – there is only one Original created per design. Originals sometimes come in alternate color palettes or wave designs to the prints. 

After many years of partnering with third-party framers, we are very excited to be bringing framing in-house as part of our brand new Soundwaves Art Framing program! Between our team, we have over 20 years of experience in framing and maintain the highest of standards for our work. As we ramp up our framing capacity and give each frame the attention it deserves, we're expecting orders with framing to take an additional 4 weeks to be completed.
