F O U R T H E Y E

Was reading Aaron Harris' latest blog update this morning, and noticed the following paragraph:


I was interviewed by Rhythm Magazine for a cover story on Danny Carey. The issue is on newsstands now and also available digitally via their app. Inside, there’s a sidebar where I talk about what it’s like to work with Danny and I answer some common misconceptions about Tool. I’ve also been working with Danny in his studio on an interesting project. More on that later …


Anyone fancy a guess as to what it is?

Fuck yes.

That'd be my guess, as well.

 

 

Maybe I'm talking out of my ass, but I think I read in an interview once that he'd like to do a solo album...maybe this is it?

My guess it'd be something along those lines.  Could be recording some kind of segue or something for the new album I guess.

Or it could be something drum related - some new piece of hardware?

Danny's assisting him in laying down the tracks on the Palms record now that Chino's available and in studio??? yeah fucking right, but it'd be rad, no doubt

a Danny Carey solo album...alright...how long before that comes out? 

Danny says in the article he's slowly (ha) working on a more electronic solo album. Surely that's it. 

I think if Danny did want to do a solo album, it probably wouldn't take that long to put it together.  He has all the equipment and shit, and because it's a solo album, it's just him, so no wrangling other people or anything like that.  And I would think that a solo album would probably have more of a focus on recording.

 

That's all assuming that this this solo album will be just him.  I believe the article said that he wanted it to be like a synth/percussion kind of deal, which he could do all himself.  If there are other people involved, I could see it going either way.

Solo album with the chick from COLLIDE doing vocals for one or two tracks. Lots of ethnic percussion instruments, absolutely no guitar or bass.

Quite a bit of piano/keyboard.

 

It would be rad for sure. But i think he needs to focus on tasks at hand. Sorry. That interview sounds bad ass though. I wonder what the Tool misconceptions are? I imagine a solo album by D.C. (the Distinguished Creature) would sound something like the stewart copeland jams! Damn, so hes writing for Tool, Volto, a solo project, and who knows what else at once... Thats a lot of shit on the plate.

 

Danny isn't really writing for the solo album right now, in the interview he said it was something he was considering after they finished up the new album.

Righteous. Does anyone have this full interview?
