(Internet Music Media) (10/11/10)
With John Slywka
Early in September 2010, Paul Richards and Bert Lams, two-thirds of the California Guitar Trio, spoke in-depth about their new CD release, "Andromeda." Prior to release, the album's cover artwork by Pablo Mandel won 2nd prize in ESA's "Hubble In Popular Culture" contest. The music on "Andromeda" is every bit as spectacular as its artwork. In this in-depth downloadable/streaming audio interview, Bert and Paul describe in detail (in some cases, piece-by-piece) how the CGT came to record their first all-originally composed album in 19 years, how special improvisations came to be included, and special recording techniques used to create sounds that can't be reproduced on stage, which makes the "Andromeda" CD quite different from an in-concert experience and live recordings. They also comment how guest musicians (Tony Levin, Eric Slick, Julie Slick, Tom Griesgraber, and more) came to be called upon to contribute, the self-financing of the album, and how fans can participate in sponsorship levels and receive CGT exclusives.
