A little note from Mike Keneally viewable here in full:
THE KENEALLIST: MARCH 17, 2009
- or here in short, regarding our multi-album project involving Mike, Trey Gunn, Alex Machacek, Phi Yaan-Zek, Mario Brinkmanen and Marco Minnemann due out on Abstract Logix label this Spring-Summer.
"Hey people-- I've just finished one of the albums I've been pecking away at for a while: Normalizer 2: Evidence of Humanity, a collaboration with Marco Minnemann. I am outlandishly happy with it. (I proffer countless thanks to John Czajkowski for his engineering, coffee and enthusiasm, and for the time map/click-track he programmed for Marco's improvised 51-minute drum track.) This was one of the most purely fun albums I've ever done, and if you're into my composed instrumental music, not to mention unbelievable drumming, you need to prepare yourself for this one. It's completely nuts. The Normalizer 2 macro-project will include separate albums of music created by myself, Trey Gunn, Alex Machacek, John Cjazkowski, Mario Brinkman, Phi Yaan-Zek and Marco himself, with each album built on top of the same completely insane album-length Marco drum track. Trey Gunn is going to edit together a compilation album using pieces from everyone's contributions, as an introduction to the whole wild thing. It's quite an ambitious project and I'm thrilled to be involved-- we'll tell you more about the release schedule for my album and the rest of the series as it all comes together..."
