Don Falcone

“The memoir offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at countless collaborations. Falcone—producer, multi-instrumentalist, and former tech writer—balances creativity with experimentation …”
~ Klemen Breznikar, It’s Psychedelic Baby!, June 27, 2025

“What today is a fairly common way of working for musicians remote around the world was not so common even as little as fifteen years ago; Falcone was most certainly a pioneer in this area…”

“One of the Spirits Burning documents in detail how it’s done, and a whole lot more.”
- Peter Thelan, Exposé

I believe all dogs think that we are slightly brain-damaged. And so damn cute, of course.

Aye. (Time moves slowly for me on bsky.)

Our dog (Sienna) semi-mopes, awaiting her walk. When the leash comes out, she's more than ready. When we return home, she backs up when you go to take off the leash. We have to put a foot down on part of the leash, and unbuckle and hold the harness, as she emphatically pulls out of the harness.

My sister's dog starts barking at my sister when she wants her walk. Quite loudly.

Some of the early history of the band is covered in "One Of The Spirits Burning (A Musical Memoir)." Available here: stairwaypress.com/product/one-...

Melting Euphoria had five studio albums, the first of which was before the Cleopatra years, and the one that I was part of. The album "Through The Strands Of Time" was re-released this century with some bonus tracks, under the album title "From the Madness We Began."

Details soon!

Live At Kozfest For Fans of, Hawkwind, Van der Graaf Generator, and Progressive Rock! In 2017, Spirits Burning performed live in England at Kozfest. The line-up: Hawkwind family members Richard Chadwick (drums, vocals), Bridget Wishart (vocals, EWI), and Steve Bemand (guitar, vocals), plus Don Falcone (keyboards, vocals), Kev Ellis (Kaoss Pad, vocals), Martin Plumley (guitar, vocals), and Colin Kafka (bass). This was a rare live show, as Spirits Burning have historically been a studio project. With contributions on 20 albums from almost 300 musicians, located across the world from the U.S. to Europe to Russia to Japan, live shows had never been considered before. The set began with Bridget on lead vocals. This included two songs from the first two Spirits Burning & Bridget Wishart albums. Next, were four songs from early Spirits Burning albums: first, two songs featuring Don on lead vocals, followed by two energetic instrumentals, driven by the rhythm section of Richard and Colin, and both songs punctuated with explosive leads by Steve on guitar. The last four songs of the set were vocal songs, starting with the title track from the Alien Injection album, with Kev’s live rendition of his original lead vocals. The band then did a cover of Hawkwind’s Images, which Bridget, Richard, and Steve had previously done together for the 1991 Hawkwind European tour promoting Space Bandits
