Hello all and happy Friday! My newest project "Graphite & Glitter" is complete and now available on iTunes, Spotify, BandCamp, SoundCloud plus all other streaming sources!
All guitars, bass, and keyboards (with the exception of synth plugins) are processed through the incredible Axe Fx III Mark 2, so diverse! To me, it's the iPod/iPhone device that has completely revolutionized amp modeling...thank you all at Fractal Audio!
As AI becomes commonplace in our world, this project theme is loosely structured around both the good and the bad that comes with advancing technology. Of course, being an all instrumental album, this can be challenging to get across!
The project title is taken from the great Donald Fagen song "I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World), a song that discusses the widespread optimistic vision of the future and technology solving all our human problems, yet sidestepping the disappointment that can happen when we have such rose-colored glasses on about how life is going to be so good with no unintended consequences:
"On that train all Graphite & Glitter,
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris,
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free"
I am fascinated to see where this (AI) will all go...thank you all so much for listening and for your support, hope you enjoy the project!
P.S. Each song is accompanied with a video on my YouTube channel, sometimes instrumentals go better with visuals! Highly recommend to consume with headphones and HD TV https://www.youtube.com/@chrisangela/videos
Cheers (and now I'll quit oversharing finally, apologies for that!)
