Just taking a second to let you know what I am working on right now. OmniVoid just recorded drum tracks for 6 new songs at Studio X in Seattle. They sound awesome and thanks to Tate for the playing! Expect a new CD from OmniVoid this Spring! I have been recording vocal tracks with R.J. May for the next WordBlender album titled Anatomy. We have 18 new tracks, don't know which will make the album, and still a few guest musicians to get on tape. I have been working on a remix for Real World recording artists Joi. The track is called "What you are" and incorporates many world influences. I will let you know when it is finished. More on Joi: Joi are Bengali but an Arabic influence here is strong and the 'oud, played by Yazid, was the initial inspiration for the track. The 'oud is a pear shaped, fretless plucked instrument originally from Mesopotamia which relates to the Western lute or Bengali dutara. For Farook this instrument has crossed boundaries and has united cultures, and unity with the embattled Middle Eastern nations is a theme of the song. The Bengali lyrics sung by Apeksha Dandekar are all about reciprocal understanding : " I know what you're saying!"
