So read on for the first installment of two, with all you need to know about the tracks on the album apart from Introduction , the lovely orchestral flourish which opens Balletesque including the parts played by the legend of the Black Duck, skeleton outfits and an awesome tuba solo. The Alchemist - Our piece de resistance. As carefully composed, orchestrated and arranged as a most of our music is, I usually have a good comprehension of why each song sounds the way it does; why things work and why we did certain things. Aside from the hazy recollection of typewriting the lyrics in a cabin overlooking the Ohio River, memories are scattered and blurred for how this song came to be. The Alchemist is still a mysterious record for me to listen to, which makes it much more enjoyable when I hear it. It is a wild, violent, beautiful and shocking five and a half minutes.
A new album by Julian Saporiti is always a big event in my musical life. Recording the album was a long and collaborative process. Saporiti traveled to Illinois last summer to spend a week cutting basic guitar and vocal tracks with fellow Berklee grad Seth Boggess. Playing libraries, universities and even a Buddhist temple, the tour is far from the typical rock band tour.
