2016 - DAMANEK - Updates and more...

DAMANEK - Updates and more...

Happy New Year!
Arranging, re-arranging and recording has started for the DAMANEK project now

Getting involved so far are:
Guy - Vox, Keys, Acoustic things...
Marek - Saxes, Clarinet, Keys
Dan - Bass, BVs

Plus we are very pleased to announce that our Principal keys player will be Mr. Sean Timms (Unitopia, Southern Empire). Sean is already hard at work on the first of the album pieces contributing to the conveyor belt of change which then moves on to Marek and Ulf Reinhardt (Seven Steps to the Green Door.) recording the drum sections.

Antonio Vittozzi (Soul Secret) is also working with Guy on the Electric Guitar arrangements too......so off the starting blocks we go...

Nick Magnus has kindly played keys and arranged parts on one piece for us already and Mr. John Hackett has allowed us to be able to employ his considerable talent as flute parts are needed!
Other discussions for more contributors are under way too...more on that later..!!!!!

Whist all this has been going on, Guy has also had time to write most of the lyrics for Marek's forthcoming CYRIL II album, plus has also contributed lyrics to the wonderful "FETISH" album newly released by Seven Steps to the Green Door. This is a beautiful sounding album crammed with fantastic arrangements and performances..I urge you to go hear/buy it :)

....and, as if this was not enough....the other 15 or so pieces remaining after the DAMANEK selection and now being bundled together to provide the debut material for yet another Project/band Again...more new on all that when that is firmed up.
