Some of you may know this, but most of you don't. I have a band. Well, at least a 'project'. A group of musicians are working on a project of mine I've had in my head for years now, and it's finally becoming a reality thanks to the wonderful guys who have chosen to help me out. I wouldn't be making this progress without their contributions. :)

So far the confirmed collaborators on this project are:


(EDIT: A lot of changes have happened over the past year, so expect an updated line-up listing in this post soon.

- Oct. 8, 2010)


THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR WORKING ON THIS WITH ME!


Additionally, I am always open for more people contributing to this, as I find collaboration between many different individual musicians a very rich and rewarding listening experience (Hell, look at the Ayreon stuff that's out there!)

The musical style of the album currently being written is falling somewhere between Porcupine Tree, Jethro Tull and Yes, but we'll have to see how it all evolves over time. Just felt like announcing this project "officially" so that I could rasie a bit of awareness for when the album gets finished. Wink

As of this point, I'm shooting for a late 2010 release date, but most of the guys working on the project are very busy, so it really isn't set in stone yet.

The album is called "White Lies", and is based on a concept myself and Aaron my Bassist came up with surrounding the artwork. It will feature a few long tracks, but nothing too 'epic'. I don't want to jump in to super prog band land on my first musical outing, but hopefully the results will please many members of this particular community. Smile

--------------------------------

Here is the cover artwork that I just released publicly today:



It is a collaboration between myself, and our own Abel Adames (darksideof)! I have to say, he has captured what was in my head beautifully. This truly is a near-perfect visual recreation!

Abel drew the beautiful sketch of the eye, while I added the spider image and the color. :)

THANK YOU, ABEL! Big smile

Thanks to everyone involved in this project, and I hope we will continue to press onward in making this project one of the most fun times I have ever had.

Expect "White Lies" in late 2010, unless plans change and the release has to be pushed back, of course.

Beautiful artwork Micah, who designed it? Yourself?

That's pretty awesome. At first, though, I thought you kept misspelling the project name. And I was worried for a moment when I saw it in the artwork that way, too.

But you do mean to have it be "solder," like the iron?

Yes, haha. LOL I've always felt like Prog mixes many genres that wouldn't normally work together; almost like they've literally been 'soldered'. Wink

Based on what little I've heard, I am absolutely envious that I was not involved.  Clap

And the album artwork gives me the creeps!  Wink

Cool. Again, thanks so much for working on this with me, couldn't have gotten the great visual results without your help. I'm truly grateful. Big smile

Well, y'know . . . I never set a limit on the amount of collaborators there can be on this thing. In actuality, with the busy scheduels of everybody involved, it's in my best interest to have many different people doing this with me, because it will get the tracks done faster.

Just sayin' . . .

Haha! It did me too when it first came to me. I was like, "Why in the name of God would I imagine something like that?!" LOL

LOL Yes, indeed he is! Hmm, seems like somebody here introduce me to him . . . now who could that be? I remember he released a really f**king awesome album recently, whoever he was.

Ah, well, If you remember who he is, you'll let me know, right? Tongue

I think he'll be releasing two albums in 2010, so I'll let everyone know when the first one comes out and you can let everyone know when the second comes out. Tongue

Yes! Absolutely!

Now he needs to work on a third project to even it all out. Maybe a "string tribute to ____" deal.
