TRIBE WORLD ENSEMBLE NEW ALBUM RELEASED!

By pendragon, 2008-10-07

<a href="http://www.tribeworldensemble.com/" title="MUSIC FROM THE ALBUM">“THE MESSAGE STICK”</a>
 
The album, "The Message Stick" incorporates the talents of 25 incredibly gifted musicians and songwriters from across the globe that are true artists in their chosen disciplines! 
 
David Pendragon an independent music producer/sound engineer living in Canberra created this album with the collaboration of musicians playing together over the Internet in their own home studios.
Musicians from as far away as Europe, U.S.A, Canada, U.K, India, Singapore, and various other Australian states showcase their incredible talents on this album.
 
'Tribe World Ensemble' has evolved out of the Canberra Australia band called ‘Tribe’ who are well known for their album ‘The Gathering’ [New World Music] and the single ‘The Bushfire Song’
 
 After the success of 'The Gathering', the idea of a follow up high-quality, well-recorded album of World music, played on real instruments rather than keyboard sounds, seemed a natural progression. 
 
Early in 2006 Pendragon began to explore the Internet as a way to promote Tribe and 'The Gathering'.
Through his investigations Pendragon became inspired with the idea to use the Internet to produce, write and coordinate an entire album of quality music, with musicians who had never met and in many cases, had never even conversed with each other. 
This had never been done before. David realized that this for him was the true meaning of World Music.
Without the Internet as a tool it would never have been possible for them to work together due to the vast distances involved. 
 
  Each of the musicians involved are artists well known in their own communities for their musical expertise on instruments such as: violin, cello, sitar, guitar, lap-slide guitar, drums and percussion, Native American flute and many others. 
Pendragon enlisted all the musicians needed to create this album through Internet forums and independent music sites. He recorded 'back track' parts in his studio and made them available via the Internet to enable the contributing musicians to record their parts and then return them to the Canberra studio. David then mixed these parts into the main mix of the final final songs. 
 
Some song writing and creative development took place during late-night intercontinental or interstate 'voice-over-internet' conversations; humming a tune in Canberra to a sitar riff, or choosing a drum sound over the Skype phone, with the accompanying player somewhere on the other side of the world!
A documentary covering this incredible musical journey is currently being made. Combine all this with the talents of local and interstate musicians and vocalists, and you have a world-class album, pieced together in a very unusual way by the planets very first truly ‘World Music’ band. This is fast becoming the way musicians and artists will work together in the future. 
Following is the bands collective statement about “THE MESSAGE STICK”:
“Message Sticks were used by the Australian Aboriginal people and other tribal cultures to send messages from one place or tribe to another. The messenger was a protected person and allowed free passage across traditional boundaries. We can learn many things from the Native Indigenous People from all areas of our World. 
A common thread that runs throughout all cultures is a caring and unconditional love for the land that clothes and feeds us. 
In this album we are sending out our own heartfelt message to our fellow inhabitants of this incredible place we all call home, Planet Earth. Each song expresses a feeling about some aspect of human co-existence and relationship, with ourselves, with our Planet and with each other. We ask you to join with us.” 
 
                                                                  
                “May you enjoy the journey as it unfolds, may we meet you in the music”

Almost there!!!!

By robf, 2008-10-07

I've been away for some time, both from the sites as well as playing.  I picked up my acoustic for the first time about six weeks ago, and I've got that itch again.
I'm currently finishing some work in the basement, and hope to set up the studio gear before Thanksgiving...with that done, I'll start pumping out some new tunes.  In the meantime, I'll listen to some of the incredibly talented artists on this site, and write a few reviews.

By stu, 2008-10-06

hi... my page is now just the 'stu' page... thanks admin.. 'the guaco project' page has been renamed, as it is basically impossible to work between two countries now... it's compliocated..!! i am gradually working on moving some of my own (dare i say solo?) stuff over here... and mingling it with some of the later guaco stuff. god knows... i may even have to upgrade... because i hate deleting stuff... but with my current productivity at one or two tunes every six months... this won't be necessary for a while eh..? just to let you know really.. cheers

Ruby Baby ( Dion cover)

By Farrell Jackson, 2008-10-06

This is my version of Ruby Baby originally done by Little Dion and The Belmonts about 1958. They were a Doo Whop Band with just an acoustic guitar and their voices. I decided to update the song and electrify or Jaxonize it :o) During The Winter Dance Tour (1959?) with Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper.... luck was with Dion when he passed on the fatal airplane ride to the next gig and the rest is history.....Bye Bye Miss American Pie.......... Kurt Huhn - Drums Farrell Jackson - all other instruments and voices BTW - I have obtained the proper mechanical digital download license from the Harry Fox Agency. License # <a href="javascript:viewPDF('1081640043');">1081640043</a> Enjoy! Farrell
