<p>Something different from Rayon Vert, as Doctor C introduced me to Edgar Allan Poe's poetry. That DOC C is a "Classic" dude, as some of you may know. His influence has been very high on me, that's for sure. The last song I sent him was to be metal prog and it turned out to be......."ULALUME". He turned me all around on this with his keyboards, musical additions, arranging, mixing, and engineering. Farrell Jackson added acoustic guitars, Gary Carciello added his electric guitar work and Doc had me doing the vocal, as well as my bass part.</p><p>I hope you enjoy a musical poem by Edgar Allan Poe and Rayon Vert.</p><p>Rob G</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/RAYON_VERT/song_focus_16633.php">http://www2.mixposure.com/RAYON_VERT/song_focus_16633.php</a></p>
<p>When I came to Doctor C with a new song idea, my intention was a metal type progressive rock song. Doctor C with his wild immagination sent me an e-mail back with this wild idea about this poem called "Ulalume". I had never heard of it, nor had any idea what he was talking about. I did a search on the internet and had a few listens to some readings of the poem. I put the basic idea in his hands and he developed the music. Through some pains of poetry reading, which I had never attempted, we came up with this song. We handed it off to Farrell, where he added some very sweet acoustic guitar, then to Gary, where he added his electrifying progressive guitars. I believe Doctor C did a superb mix job on this and had a wonderful idea. I hope you enjoy this terrifying late Halloween story.</p><p>Rob</p>
