After 6 years of trying to make Legend's Ghost happen, I finally get to announce that there has been a new release: my new 3-song EP, Continuum: A Flight Through Time and Space! The EP has one song from each upcoming album, plus a bonus track. It features Sergey Proshunin on bass and myself on vocals. It comes in a full-color cd-folder.  You can order online or pick up a copy at any Legend's Ghost concert. The CD is $6, but I have added a $1.50 surcharge for any shipping outside of Ecuador. If you live in Ecuador, you do not have to pay that surcharge.

I realize I have not updated in awhile, and there is a very good reason for that: I have been going completely and utterly mad trying to get ready for a big show as part of Quito's annual Fiesta de la Música! This will be Legend's Ghost's big debut, and if you care to witness it, come to Ananké Bar in La Mariscal at 8 P.M. on June 26, 2010! Fiesta de la Música is an annual festival sponsored by Alianza Francesa in Quito, Ecuador. Bands play all over the city of Quito, and it's basically a... Continue reading...

I can't believe none of you guessed him! I guess you just weren't used to hearing him sing in Turkish! Today, I finally get to reveal to you that the mysterious, haunting, otherworldly vocals you heard in the sample are provided by none other than Dreamtone's Oganalp Canatan. Unlike many of you, I had never heard of Oganalp or his band Dreamtone before he appeared on Korsair's song Prototype X. I was impressed by the professional quality of Oganalp's voice, so I began messaging him on myspace... Continue reading...

I am looking for a female guitarist who can do a solo on one of the songs on the upcoming Gatekeepers album.
The
Gatekeepers album deals with the creative process as represented by
sexual experiences. One of the central characters, the mysterious
Songweaver, will be represented by both a singer (she's already been
chosen, sorry singers!) and a guitarist. Because the Songweaver
represents the embodiment of feminine energy, she needs to be portrayed
by a wo... Continue reading...

I thought it was about time for another vocalist guessing contest, so head over to the music page, have a listen, and send me your guesses at legendsghost@gmail.com. As always, here are the clues: 1. The vocalist is singing in his native language. But I will not tell you what language that is. It would make it too easy! 2. His band has a record deal with an independent label. 3. He was born the same year as I was. 4. He will be touring Europe soon with one of his bands. And, as usual, the person ... Continue reading...

There is a new song up, and a new guest artist to announce! That guest artist would be Kristof Elst of the project Dragons and Lilies, formerly of Transentience. Although I have never met Kristof personally, I became acquainted with his musical style through his former Transentience bandmate (and Legend's Ghost guest soloist) Joop de Rooij. When he added me on facebook in late 2009 and I needed another guitarist, I was very happy to ask him to play some songs on Legend's Ghost. You can now ... Continue reading...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the Legend's Ghost gig has been canceled. Doing this show meant more than just about anything to me. I frantically searched myspace for musicians to share the moment with me. I went to some rehearsals feeling as if I would faint, because I was trying to recover from an allergic reaction but feared the medications I had for it would make me too tired to rehearse and eventually do the show, or worse, cause damage to my voice. I canceled other enga... Continue reading...

Tonight, after much freaking out and maniacally searching myspace for musicians to save the day after two people who had said they would play this show dropped out, I finally get to announce this:
Internationally-recorded
rock opera project live in concert for the first time! Legend's Ghost
deals with themes of ancient mysteries, ghosts of stories never told,
and sex as a metaphor for the creative process.
Includes songs from upcoming albums The Suicidal Immortal and Gatekeepers...and a 70s cla... Continue reading...

Today, I get to announce another very talented Legend's Ghost artist: Russian jazz/blues bassist Sergey Proshunin. In November 2008, I went to a Camaleon Jazz Combo concert. There was this Russian guy onstage playing these crazy bass solos and looking like he was having the time of his life. I thought to myself, "I don't care if he is from a completely different musical background from me, and I don't care if he has never even heard of my style of music. I've got to have him on my album." Unf... Continue reading...

 Dutch singer Petra Struijs, former lead vocalist of the band Galanor, will appear on the Gatekeepers album. Petra has recently finished recording vocal parts for her role as the Mother. I first noticed Petra's voice after she was chosen as the lead singer in Galanor. I could tell right away she had a very strong, versatile voice, and the fact that she was classically trained didn't hurt things either! I thought she would sound good in one of the roles on Gatekeepers, so I emailed one of her... Continue reading...
