Alex Carpani - Waterline (CD)
From Our Friends at Cypher Arts & Galleries
Waterline is a progressive rock concept album dedicated to the thin line dividing the world emerged from the water (the familiar one) from the submerged world (the unknown one). Originally conceived as an instrumental project, it has become an album with lyrics, with the vocals taken care of by Aldo Tagliapietra, the leader of the legendary Italian prog band Le Orme.
Thanks to the genial painting created by Paul Whitehead (collaborator of early Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, Le Orme, etc.), for the album artwork, the original waterline has become an accomplished surreal scene with characters and real objects. This new scene inspired Alex Carpani, Dan Shapiro and Paul Whitehead for the lyrics writing and the final titles of the album playlist.
Waterline has been composed in three weeks by Alex Carpani in his home-studio during a long period of immobility due to a serious ankle fracture. Several prestigious musicians of the American prog scene have been involved in the recordings: Neil Bettencourt (drums and percussion), Dan Shapiro and Ken Jaquess (bass), Tony Spada, John Thomas, Robert Wolfe and Marc Pattison (guitars), Cory Wright (saxophones and flute), etc.
