Tony Levin - Stick Man -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart
Amazing new CD from Tony Levin.....
"Stick Man is a step in a new direction for me. Or perhaps in an old direction, because, from what listeners are telling me, it's come out quite Crimson-like. That could be because of the great participation by Pat Mastelotto on drums and percussion - also I was aiming at more raw, playing-oriented tracks. Backing off from the composition based writing I'd done recently, I've tried to feature not only both sides of the Stick, but some unusual bass techniques and sounds.
There are a lot of tracks, (17) and it's mostly instrumental (especially if you consider my shouting not to be a song!)
Oh, and we've decided it'd be nice to have me autograph the DGM pre-orders (and in fact I'm holed up in Cape Cod doing that right now -- nice to put the pen down and type a bit!) so if you pre-order, you'll have that, fairly legibly, on your CD!
Hope to see you at a concert this coming year." - Tony
This cd, Tony Levin's 5th solo outing, is a breakthrough in numerous ways.
It features the Chapman Stick (in addition to his basses) in ways it hasn't been heard before.
With 17 tracks, 58 minutes of music, it's a prodigeous release - three tracks have Tony's vocals, the rest are unique sounding progressive instrumentals.
Most of the drumming on the CD is by King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, and Crimson fans will hear some tracks here that are reminiscent of the group.
The other musicians are listed, by track, below.
There is a lot of sonic adventure here - Scott Schorr, producer and engineer, had free rein to play with the many Stick, bass, and drum tracks, and the result is full of surprises and variety.

SOME QUOTES
From Emmett Chapman, inventor of the Chapman Stick;
"For Stick enthusiasts, this will definitely be a "new game in town" - new harmonic progressions, rhythms, sonics and attitude."
" The Stick dominates the album and is multifaceted in all registers and through all manner of effects. (Tony) gave the instrument a real workout and I know it will be of great interest to Stick players"
