New "Dragonfly" EP Featuring U12 Pedal Steel

[Philipp Zurcher]

It is a great pleasure to announce the release of a new EP featuring my U12 pedal steel guitar on two songs "Shifting Sand" and "Space Cadet Low"

Future Songs is a concept album. The original idea was to have a fictitious future band singing songs about the past. Those songs would then be a comment on our present.

Dragonfly started out as a solo project in my home studio, mixing electric guitar with instruments I had only played for a few years: the pedal steel guitar and some selected electronics. Gradually, the whole thing grew into a kind of virtual band, including two fabulous musicians from South Africa, as well as featuring a string quartet based in Switzerland.

Bob Katz, who mastered the album, which is now available on Bandcamp in 24 bit / 96 kHz, kindly commented on the music as follows:

"Each song is a performance masterpiece. The best description I can give of this intriguing and exciting music is it is a multi-level genre: Simultaneously it is performance art, jazz that rocks, world music, political statement and probably more!"

Thanks for listening in, downloading the EP and thereby supporting my future endeavors including steel guitar pickin' and music production:
