Travis Dickerson Recording Studios Forum

I\'ve posted a sample MP3 for this CD. The link will be on the Running After Deer page. I see there are several questions about this CD and I have received a few emails asking more about it. I don\'t want to give away the concept of the CD, or explain it really because it needs to be heard to appreciate the concept. I do want to at least answer a few questions. First, Alix Lambert\'s name is at the top of the CD. If your not familiar with her work, she is a film maker whose documentary "The Mark of Cain" was the basis for the character Viggo Mortenen plays in "Eastern Promises". Her writing includes HBO\'s "Deadwood" and "John from Cincinatti", along with several books and interviews she has conducted and published, including  "Crime" a book of interviews she conducted with some very bad people. This is just a few of the many art forms she is accomplished in,( for more information, check out her website. http://www.pinkghettoproductions.com/).

 Alix came to me with an idea about blending a concept she had with music. I thought it was very cool and wanted to be a part of it. I enlisted the help of some of my favorite people. Buckethead needs no introduction on this forum but D.J. Bonebrake (http://www.djbonebrakemusic.com/bio.html) has been my friend and collaborator for over 20 years. His drumming for the band X is legendary as is everything about X. If you are not familiar with them you owe it to your self to check out one of the best bands ever. http://www.xtheband.com/index.html


Paul Eckman is the upright bass player for D.J.s band "Orchestra Superstring".  So while I was thinking about how to create the music for this CD, I thought this would be a unique collection of players and would create something unlike anything I\'ve done before.

I know most of the people reading this forum are interested in Buckethead and the CDs we do together. There my be certain expectations for this disc (though if anyone has discerned a pattern to the kinds of things Buckethead gets involved it, I would like you to pick stocks for me). If you like Thanatopsis, PO, Chicken Noodles and Monolith and the other things we have done together then you probably won\'t be disappointed by this disc. But I hope you enjoy the other aspects to this disc as much as I do.

Thank you Travis!!!  
The sample is wonderful, love the feeling of  "The African Toy"! Certainly looking forward to August!!!

Holy Smokes ! Thanks for all the info Travis, very interesting to me    I really enjoyed the sample too. WOW ! Very nice.

Without being over optimistic, I guess this album\'s gonna be great.  

Sweet!    Thanks for all the great info and the sample, Travis.  Save a copy for me!

Awesome, just listened to the clip and it sounds really great! If the rest of the album is in the same vein, we\'re all in for a treat. As with every other album Buckethead and Travis are on, this one is so mine when it\'s released, and I\'m also anticipating what the other players will bring to the table as well.

Keep that tasty music flowing, people!  

Sounds schweet!  

Thanks for all that info Travis, that was really cool to learn more about.

The Sample is AMAZING!!!  I\'m really pumped for this CD!

Wow - just listened to the sample, sounds great! looking forward to gettin\' it..... and speaking of DJ Bonebrake -  X was the first real concert I ever went to, they opened for oingo boingo.  I was 14 or 15, now many years later X is still one of my favorite bands. I\'m really excited for this album!
