We Could Get Closer

Joining me on Paso A Paso (Step by Step) is the incredible Argentinian bassist Ignacio Gaztañaga. After listening to his work (in particular "About when your papers had burnt" and "White Hat"}, I was delighted he agreed to feature his fret work on this track, a short study in stepwise motion around minor 3rd key centres, and my fondness of the Golden Ratio. Hopefully, the first of many creations together...
A must listen:

The Real Thing

From the forthcoming album.
Andy McLean: Tenor saxophone, bass guitar, keyboards and drum programming

Recognition of sacred geometry, the humble circle, pie, mathematics and it's direct connection/joining with music (Fibonacci series cf Pentatonic scale).

To our forefathers, who sought and gave us perfection with the Sexagesimal system and the importance of ratios. Upon which time and shape is still measured, secretly in plain sight..

As the world turns and a new day begins, the cycle repeats. The nights sky a constant reminder if we just look up.

When two are joined perfectly to form the "mind's eye", two become three and new life is born and so it goes on, and on, and on...
