The Shape of Things To Come

Hey Everyone,

Here’s another track from the new ‘Zammuto’ album being released on April 3.  It’s one of the last tracks I made for the record, and this is the first time I’ve posted it anywhere.  It features Sean Dixon on drums, who is playing a 6/8 clave pattern double time with his right hand and halftime with his left.  It’s a mind bending thing to watch.  Gene Back made the string part by multitracking his violin, then placing the samples on a Nord keyboard.  I’ll post a video of it soon.  Thank for listening!

You can preorder the record here:  we’ll send it out next week:
