Patrick Abbate playing all electric guitar parts on ‘Colors’. (sponsored by Soldano)
Hello all!
Well, it’s been a few weeks since my last communication and a lot has happened in ‘GEIST’ world. The work on ‘Book of Light’ is continuing and I’m happy to announce that we have 7 songs in the bag. That leaves 5. The Book of Light needs to have 12 songs total according to the zodiak and other celestial influences. Don’t ask me why, that’s just the way it has to be.
I think out of good songs and melodies, lyrics that paint a picture, a good script arrives. At least for me. So, there’s is a lot of work to be done on the story side of things, to continue the ‘Story of Martin Cole’ and to create the tome that will eventually become the ‘Book of Light’.
But I digress, let’s get back to music.
I have been working on this tune called: ‘Colors’ for a couple of weeks and with the help of my darling wife Ruth, a brilliant lyrisist in her own right, this new song came to life.
AND, it just so happened that Patrick Abbate was in town to record all of the electric guitar tracks. What a blessing! Grazie, Patrick. (see picture)
Session video coming soon, I promise.
A side note: While I was working on the recording of the 12 string acoustic guitar parts, I swear I felt George Harrison’s presence in the studio. I would record and George gave me a look that compelled me to re-record the 12 string tracks because I felt him saying that they were just not good enough, ‘do it better lad!’
Thanks, George. When it’s ready I will dedicate ‘Colors’ to you for sure.
In other news:
‘Book of Shadows’ will see a physical CD release.
I have decided to keep the ‘theme’ of the GEIST saga going and print a limited edition. If anything, it will look great on my shelf in the studio, haha. So stay tuned to the site for more detailed information.
As always, lots of love.
Martin Cole.
