The Stars in the Sky Are Friends

I sincerely hope you enjoy this under-the-hood peek into the entire guitar arrangement/performance from the studio recording of Advent's "Ramblin' Sailor"--presented entirely as tracked. No additional effects or automation used (just rough panning for better isolation).

A big thank-you to our special guest performers, Ben "BenZuda" Harrison (fiddles) and Dan D'Elia (drum corps member), for their wonderful contributions.

ADVENT - To Dunsinane

Our take on a Gentle Giant tune off of  the album "The Power and The Glory" (1974)
What a criminally overlooked band these guys are! Absolutely amazing musicians!!

The concept album focused on an individual who means to do good using political power. He finds himself tempted to abuse the power, as have all of those who have come before, and ultimately becomes what he fought against.

Chrissy: Vocals, Keyboards, Chants...
Fletch: Guitars, Bass, Drum programming and midi editing.

"As I hold the key to the back door
of the world I feel my
Hand touching bounds never had before.
I can view the power of my position and my
eyes can see more than anyone in any place,
I'll play the game and never ever lose.

I'm the king in fighting competition
and the other pieces
are there for my art and my tactics now.
All my games are won before they're played for
I have planned that no opposition can stage a fight
I'll play the game and never ever lose.

My thoughts never spoken only the
visions inside my head the truth never broken
within my silent words left unsaid.

I will steer the helm of all the nation
as the captain
take my rewards for all the good I'm doing now,
and no words that I'm the knave will alter my
philosophy for if any are heard, the games started
again I'll never ever lose."

Playing The Game (Gentle Giant Cover)

Back in 2005, Rod Chappell asked me to contribute a guitar solo to a piece he'd written and recorded, as part of an upcoming album he was planning to release. Unfortunately, the project remains delayed, but Rod kindly granted permission to share what I came up with and submitted (over a decade ago). I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
