Desert Music Project
I am excited.
Went to an old mates house last night for dinner, drinks, music and a good catch up. It was so cool to hang out again, as we haven’t really done it properly since starting uni.
We all used to play music together, and so decided to have a jam, which went really well. We started with a couple of soul / Motown numbers and went from there, it was so good to actually play with musicians again.
Anyway, the evening went on, conversations happened and we ended up completely inspiring each other to start this project.
So this project is basically an ‘open band’ type thing called ‘Desert Music’ with myself, Stefan and our friend Jack as the core members. Then we’ll find singers, drummers, percussionists, horns and everyone else through friends and online. It’ll be like a massive collaboration with no permanent members apart from Stefan, Jack and myself. We could have a track featuring a male American singer with French backing vocalists, or a track with a Russian trombone player and a Greek bouzouki player.
We will record songs that I write and each add our own segments. Then we’ll produce these songs and send them to people to add their own vocals on. It’s going to be interesting, and it’s something a bit different but I reckon it’s going to be fun, plus we’ll get to meet lots of new and interesting people.
We don’t expect nor want anything major to come out of it. It’s just going to be a great creative outlet as well as being a nice thing to have done.
At the moment we’ve got around 6 songs that we can lay down within the next couple of weeks. Stefan will design us a website and we’ll post them up there once we’ve recorded them. Then it will be down to the people to get in touchwith us.
I’m excited.
I am involved in this. Playing the songs Nick wrote, apparently.
