Drums finished on another song, Chris Cornell R.I.P.

Drums finished on another song, Chris Cornell R.I.P.

Rob recorded the drum tracks for I Will Not Comply (which will be included on the upcoming Falling Edge album) earlier this week. This brings the total number of songs that have complete drum tracks to 3. We’re almost at the halfway point now, as there are 7 songs slated for this next release. Of these, 1 is complete and is awaiting final production. I also finished the bulk of the keyboard parts for I Will Not Comply and plan to start recording vocals and guitar for this and 17 (the other song with completed drum tracks) in the next few weeks.

On (yet) another sad note, we’re sorry to hear of the passing of Chris Cornell. As you know, Chris was a fantastically talented singer and musician, and he’ll be sorely missed. My prayers go out to him and his family. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Allan Holdsworth R.I.P.

Sad to hear about the death of Allan Holdsworth – another great loss to music lovers. I remember the 1st time I saw Allan at a small club in Detroit; I spent the 1st half of the show depressed and wondering why I (or anyone) would even bother playing the guitar when someone like Allan was doing the amazing things he was doing and creating the most brilliant music. By the 2nd half, I got over feeling sorry for myself and was newly inspired to practice and work ever harder to try to achieve the level of excellence that Allan had. Allan was one of those guys who showed what could be done, and played without limits or boundaries. He was a fantastic musician and for the reasons stated above a great influence on and inspiration to me. My prayers go out to him and his family. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

The March 13 Music Mondays with Bren Dube podcast featuring Chris Rupert is now online on YouTube and iTunes for anyone who wants to check it out. This podcast features close to an hour of discussion with Chris on Falling Edge, composing, and music in general. Chris also plays 4 songs during the show.

You may have noticed some changes here – the Falling Edge website was long overdue for a rework, and we’re very pleased with the results. We hope you like the new look.

On the recording front, Chris and Rob spent some time doing some drum pre-production this week, and are planning to record drums for the 3rd song in the next few days.
