I had a fantastic and glorious summer full of world travel for my next album #ProjectELECTRICO (Venice + Campagnari, Italy; Istanbul, Turkey) and personal adventure (Reykjavik, Iceland; London, England; Madrid + Toledo + Seville + the island of Majorca, Spain; Riga, Latvia; Helsinki, Finland, then NYC, Chicago, and Milwaukee) before heading home to Austin, Texas. Phew!
We are now in Istanbul, Turkey! It’s a very cosmopolitan city, bridging eastern and western culture, and after recording in Venice, Italy, we went for the experience of a lifetime…visiting a place I have never been. Today we had an amazing recording session with a pro production team at Deneyevi Studio, and with world-renown Saz player, Murat Ertel, along with a gypsy percussion player, Umit Adakale. Um…awesome! What a super-cool mix of sound we are adding to our pop record!

While recording in Venice, Italy, for #ProjectELECTRICO we brought in Italian Singer, Andrea D’Amato, to duet with me, Kathleen Blackwell, on a song, called UNTITLED HEART. We had a lovely, Venetian dinner with Andrea, and explained the premise of UNTITLED HEART, which is in essence, writing the ending of a script for a love song. After dinner, we had Andrea improvise in Italian and sing from his heart…we captured great beauty in his voice. Bella!
We are in Venice, Italy, tracking with Ronan Chris Murphy for my new record, ELECTRICO, and an Italian artist from Treviso, Andrea Gorgi Zuin. Everyone calls him ZU. He plays a Hang (hang drum) tuned at A=432 Hz, not the arbitrary A=440 that we know of in Western pop music today. A=432 Hz is known to be the natural sound of the earth, a frequency that vibrates more naturally in nature, and has healing, energetic powers.
#ProjectELÉCTRICO is a global recording project uniting a world of musicians to create a collaborative Global Galactic Pop record with international rhythms, flair, voices, and soundscapes from ancient to astro.
