Radio Silence Mode

Xifer Fortier once again plugged in to supply the guitar parts β€” while the last single had him swinging, for this piece I asked him to channel tracks from Patti Smith’s β€œHorses” and Neil Young’s β€œCowgirl in the Sand” for the guitar lines that he played.

More session photos for β€œSignals in the Dark”

For most recently released single β€œRadio Silence Mode” recording engineer Liam Craddock was eager to step out from behind the console to supply the electric bass part (as well as for the next release β€œDreamcatcher”).

MONARCH: He has a powerful mind.
ADRIC: Yes, yes.
MONARCH: Yes, I like that. Has he any power outside his machine?
ADRIC: Well, he has two hearts.

While this particular piece is a more traditional swing jazz type of deal inspired by one of my favorite bits of Ellingtonia, it acts as the entry point to a soundscape influenced by Miles Davis’s fusion era.
