Album # 3 – USB – Pre-Order

Description

Hi friends, thanks for stopping by.  The crowd fund has closed but the pre order is open… thanks for your support!

I’m Kate B, I’m a singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist who loves to share heartfelt songs, chanting, mantra and harmony.

I’m Kate B, I am a Song Carrier. I am ready for what is next!  

I warmly invite you to step into the circle and come on the journey with me.  To walk by side, to take your place in the cheerleader team and contribute to the creation of weave of the fabric what is to come.

I’m excited, and so very grateful!

Oh finally, it’s here!  I have been trying to get this album kicked off for for the last couple of years, but just like human babies, the musical babies have a way of arriving in their time and not when we think it’s their time!  I’m excited to be taking a different approach with this album and absolutely honoured and privileged to be working alongside Darren Percival to co-produce something different! With Paulie B at the helm in the engineering seat at Yama-Nui Recording Studio on the sunshine coast and an exquisite line-up of top shelf musicians, magic is bound to ensue!

For my previous albums I have worked with award winning producer Andy Downer in his home studio in Lismore, layering, one instrument and one voice at a time to build a lush bed of music and sound. I’ve absolutely loved the process of working with Andy and I’m still proud of what we created. This approach, however, is something different, and something I’ve never done before which is both scary and very exciting. We have recruited the band, the songs are polished, I’m 95% polished! And we will spend eight days in the studio, recording, live instruments, a live choir, and guest musicians to sprinkle their magic on the album.

Like my other albums, this is a mix of songs and chants. But of course, my songs are a bit chanty and my chants are a bit songy!   Sometimes there is a clear delineation and sometimes the edges are a little less defined, but like all my songs, there is the intention of meaningful lyrics where people can sing along!  So they have been curated with this in mind.

Some top shelf musicians will be gathering around the country to contribute to the creation of the rich tapestry of this album.  All the instrumentation will be played live, no programming of digital instruments. Not that we don’t love that choice also! This is just a different approach, an analogue offering in a digital world.

After many years of collaboration and singing with Darren Percival, my amazingly talented (and considerably taller than me!) friend, we are both stoked to beyond measure to finally have the opportunity to create something together. We have been working in the last six months or so in pre-production. That is, tweaking the songs.  Maybe a different chord here, or changing a line there, those magic little recipe adjustments that make the song pop just like adding the magic spice to a delicious meal. This has been not only a great privilege, but also lots of fun and deeply valuable! I can’t wait to share the songs with you and I can’t wait to see them come alive in the studio!
