     Coincidentally, in the wake of DAVID BOWIE’S DEATH, our very own SPACE ROCK MAESTRO, JAY TAUSIG, who’s LATEST RELEASE, had PLEASED THE SPIRIT OF THE WHITE DUKE, with HONOR & STRENGTH.  

     Here’s how Mr. Tausig had described the concept of ” HERE: ”  

“ This is a concept album that was written and recorded in about 2-3 weeks December of 2015. “

 

     “ I did not intend for it to be so, It just fell together in a very magical way, one song after the next… 40 of them in fact. “

 

     “ The general topics are Relationships, Love, Loss, Death, Fulfillment, The Mystical Nature of things, and finding that the light at the end of the tunnel is always… Here. “

 

     “ During the course of these recordings, I was not really keeping track of how many things were being laid down. “

 

     “ The intention from the start, was to create a series of tunes that were not band songs, but solo songs, that could be realistically played live, without the assistance of other instrumentation.  So these songs are “stripped down” in a way.  The arrangements are based on the Guitar/ Vocal or Piano / Vocal, which were recorded Live most of the time.  The instruments I chose to accompany these performances were Cello, Violin, Alto and Tenor Sax, Pennywhistle, Clarinet, Bass, and Mellotron.  “

 

     “ The mixing of this record was a challenge, in the sense that I recorded the songs in a way, so that there were no silences in between songs, to give the feel of a continuous flow.  I ended up breaking things apart at the end, due to inconsistencies of the EQ settings, etc…But, I think it all ended up in the way I was hoping anyway… “

 

     “ I’ll come back to this ‘ About, ‘ section and add some further insight soon… Life beckons. “
