Wolmari-info (albumi tulossa 2018) / Wolmari (music project) album update

 Wolmari-tapahtumassa 2017 ihasteltiin tätä kansitaidetta jonka on loihtinut Petri "Lemmy" Lindström. / Wolmari music project artwork by Petri "Lemmy" Lindström (Lyijykomppania, Progeland, Colin Tench Project, Corvus Stone and several others...) 

 Pasi Koivu sai haltuunsa myös Colin Tench Project -albumin (hän on mukana yhdellä biisillä), Petri "Lemmy" Lindström soittaa käytännössä tämänkin levyn bassokitarat. Myös vanha sotaratsu Robert Wolff ((rummut) vierailee albumilla. Alimmaisena mysteerinen Wolmari-demo.  / CTP (Colin Tench Project) album. "Finally I have it" said Pasi Koivu. Wolmari demo album appears on this pic as well.

 Speedy Saarinen äänitti Anssin (Anssi Nykänen) rummut Wolmari-albumille. / Speedy Saarinen recording Anssi's (Anssi Nykänen) drums for Wolmari project.

Kesäisiä tunnelmia vasemmalta oikealle: Pasi Koivu, Matti Kervinen ja Petri "Lemmy" Lindström. 

Projektin väsymätön voimahahmo on toki Petri "Lemmy" Lindström. Laitetaan tähän tämän bassokitaristin joitakin projekteja: Lyijykomppania, Progeland, Corvus Stone, Colin Tench Project (CTP), Saturn Twilight, Petri Lindström Project...ei niitä kaikkia edes muista mutta erittäin kovasta kaverista on kyse.

Matti Kervinen (kosketinsoittimet pääasiallinen osaamisalue) on jo vuosikymmenet ollut suomalaisen musiikin vaikuttajana ja tuolta yhtyepuolelta pistetään esiin vaikkapa tällaiset kuin Pax Romana ja Sunhillow. Tuotantopuolelta löytyy mm. legendaarinen Wigwam! Musiikkia myös erilaisiin TV-ohjelmiin (mm. "Se päivä muutti Suomen").  Näkemystä ja kokemusta on, se näkyy mm. hänen Wolmari-sanoituksissaan! Niin ja ehtipä hän sanoittamaan/sovittamaan kaksi laulua Corvus Stone -levyllekin. Nuo laulut esitti Timo Rautiainen! 

Pasi Koivu soitti ja sävelsi jo Corvus Stone -levyillä (näillähän Petri "Lemmy" Lindström oli myös tärkeässä roolissa). Pasin oma kommentti: "Mahdottomaksi on mennyt touhu kun ei tuota vapaa-aikaa oikeasti enää ole lainkaan. Corvus Stone -albumien piti olla niitä vihoviimeisiä minulle mutta jos nyt sitten kuitenkin vielä tuo Wolmari-levy kun on tuo musiikki siinä niin ainutlaatuista". 
Pasin instrumenttina kosketinsoittimet myös.  

Näiltä Wolmari-demoilta kuultuna alustava musiikillinen linja on kuvailtavissa. Levyn "järkäleiden" säveltämisestä on pitänyt huolen Petri "Lemmy" Lindström. Näistä on havaittavissa mm. 1970-luvun Yes- ja Pink Floyd -tunnelmia. Myöskin Pekka Pohjola tuli mieleen (odottakaapas bassosooloa!). Matti Kervinen on tunnontarkasti paneutunut sovittamisen ja sanoituksen maailmaan ja on myös tuonut pari loistavaa sävellystään keitokseen! Taisi Pasi Koivukin jotain säveltää (minunhan se pitäisi tietää kun tätä blogia kirjoitan - Pasi).


Katsellaan tuoko vuosi 2018 albumin? 

A little bit in English: Wolmari music project slowly prepares its album maybe for 2018 release. The album includes Petri "Lemmy" Lindström, Matti Kervinen and Pasi Koivu. There's a really amazing Anssi Nykänen on drums and more info will be added. The music (the lyrics are in Finnish) will be for fans of Progressive Rock, Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Classical, Folk, Fusion and we have some slight Easy Listening moments as well! 

Colin Tench Project - Album Of The Month / Progressive Rock

Originally published on www.progressiverockbr.com

.	OCTOBER 2016

Comments: For those who don't know Colin Tench, here is a short description about his musical career. Today he is a veteran musician, a painter of music where his guitar is the brush and the canvas, his inspiration. Colin started to play guitar after his 22 years old. So he started playing guitar in some bands, also recording with some of them, Odinand BunChakeze, during the 80's. After a long period traveling around the world, Colin met a Finnish keyboard player named Pasi Koivu, who became interested in old musical works and compositions written by Colin Tench. So was this partnership that was born the band Corvus Stone. But it was between 2011 and 2012 that Corvus Stone released their debut album, including bassist Petri Lindström with drummer Robert Wolff. Being considered as an innovative guitarist Colin Tench is invited to participate in other bands like The Minstrel's Ghost, Blake Carpenter and Oceans 5. Colin is an innovative and audacious musician, mixes various rhythms and styles in a highly personalized merger, he performes a style very well connected with many musical references such as Symphonic Progressive Rock, Prog  Metal, Symphonic Metal, Classic Rock, Hard Rock and Classic Music. "Hair in a G-String" is a totally concept album, also the first solo album project by the guitarris Colin Tench, and his guests, a complete "galaxy" of musicians, renowned stars such as Peter Jones, Steve Gresswell, Stephen Speelman, Phil Naro, Sean Filkins, Gordon Bennett and others. "Hair in a G-String" contains fifteen tracks and one bonus track, over 80 minutes of a pure musical emotion, no doubt, all tracks have an excellent musical performance. The arrangements sounds very impressive, full of grandiose passages, the instrumentation displays a deep Progressive Rock feeling, combining Symphonic elements, with hints of Hard Rock, Classic Rock and Prog Metal, constantly is possible hear a variety of sounds, with different musical arrangements, using atmospheric synths and, intense guitar solos, adorned by many others instruments like bass, synths, violin, drums and so on. "Hair in a G-String" is composed of many brilliant moments that deserve to be heard by all of fans of modern, as well the traditional progressive rock. Colin Tench Projectand "Hair in a G-String" were my choices to become the best band and the best album from October, 2016, because this is a fantastic project that shows a very strong musical potential, mainly by meeting so many exceptional musicians, not only the talent of leader Colin Tench, as well as by guest musicians, where each has an important role in the overall contest on this work. Do not think twice to listen to this wonderful album and know more about this musician and his stars guests musicians, you can bet that you will not regret. Brilliant and fantastic, an amazing album and band, highly recommendable...The line-up on Colin Tench Project  are: Colin Tench - Guitars, Acoustic Guitars, Piano, Synthesisers, Drum Programming, Percussion, Vocals, Annoying Noises Peter Jones - Vocals, Lead Vocals, Main Vocal, Backing Vocals, Piano, Saxophone, Clarinet, Foley Guy Steve Gresswell - Piano, Keyboards, Percussion Phil Naro - Vocals, Lead Vocals Stephen Speelman - Stunt Bass Gordon Bennett - Orchestra, Shaving Cream, String Section, Horns, Basses, Percussion, Triangle, Thing That Goes Boing Victor Tassone - Drums, Percussion Pasi Koivu - Synthesisers, Organ Sean Filkins - Tamborine Stef Flaming - Percussion, Keyboards, Bass Guitar Petri Lemmy Lindström - Bass Guitar Marco Chiappini - Piano Oliver Rüsing - Drums, Percussion Jay Theodore Mcgurrin - Drums Angelo Hulshout - Fretless Bass Sonej Retep - Sciryl Lanoitidda Robert Wolff - Drums Ian Beabout - Flute Gary Derrick - Bass Guitar Marco Chiappini - Keyboards, Piano Gary Hodges - (Buckingham Nicks) - Drums Kelly Brown - (Ozark Mountain Daredevils) - Keyboards David Knokey - Rhythm Guitar Angelo Hulshout - Fretless Bass Jay Theodore Mcgurrin - Drums (We Fired Neil Peart) Violins - (String Section) Tina Sibley - (Springfield Symphony) Kirsten Weingartner - (Springfield Symphony) Ned Horner - (Springfield Symphony) Aleksis Zarins - (Springfield Symphony)

COLIN TENCH PROJECTWho the hell is Colin Tench? Colin tench, Corvus Stone, Lorelei McBroom, Joe Vitale, Ginger Gilmour, Oceans 5, Mingulay boatsong, CTP, Pink Floyd, Bentley T 1969, Ibanez double neck, BunChakeze, Colin Tench with tourbus. Colin Tench Known as the guitar player in Corvus Stone but there is more! I love music. I hate music by numbers.  If there is one album I consider to be a template of how to do things, The Beatles White album would be it. Something I realised recently, is that I am not a fan of the genre we call "Prog". If I list every piece of music I love, all of it falls in to that genre tho'! Peter Jones There is a reason. Almost none of my favourite music was aimed at a prog market. It didn't exist! Did Genesis, Zappa, Steven Wilson, Beethoven, Pink Floyd design prog albums? Nope! Neither will I ever want to. The Colin Tench Project is not a designer album. It is melodic, much of it instrumental music & almost classical in areas, then suddenly a bit mad for fun. The players and singers on the first album include Peter Jones (Tiger Moth Tales & Camel), Petri Lindström (Corvus Stone), Phil Naro (DDrive & Julian Lennon), Vic Tassone (Unified Past) plus many more. All of them very musical and skilled. I would say that my guitar playing is always flawed. Maybe that is the secret. Gordon Bennett In the mixing , I don't quantise or use any technology that will take the character out. I hate music made artificially loud, rarely buy it and certainly won't do that to music myself. I started out in a band called Odin, alongsideJohn Culley (Black Widow, Cressida), and we gigged around London for 3 years in the 80s.  In 1985, three of us formed BunChakeze, found a singer from LA and recorded one album, which never got released until 2010. I effectively returned to music that year and a list of some of the bands I have had the fortune to be involved with are as follows: CORVUS STONE - Almost totally instrumental. Progressive and atmospheric with jazz funk leanings. Three albums released between 2012 & 2015, featuring Sean Filkins (Big Big Train), Phil Naro (Druckfarben), German Vergara (Aisles) John Culley (Cressida)  THE MINSTREL'S GHOST - Featuring  Zoltan Csörsz Jr (Flower Kings) on drums. I played guitars on Blake Carpenter's "The road to Avalon". Released in 2012 ANDY JOHN BRADFORD'S OCEAN'S 5 - A kind of Progressive Folk 5 piece with special guests, including Pink Floyd's Lorelei McBroom. "Return to Mingulay" was released in 2013. Guitars, Arrangements and Production. BUNCHAKEZE - Was formed with Gary Derrick and Cliff Deighton of Odin. The album "Whose Dream" recorded 1985, released 2010. ODIN OF LONDON - Gigged in London for 3 years. Digital album release 2011 "The London Tapes" MURKY RED - Stef Flaming's band, a regular guest with Corvus Stone & bass player in Oceans 5. I mixed both albums. KARIBOW - Featuring Michael Sadler (Saga). I played lead guitar on one song! ANDRES GUAZZELLI & COLIN TENCH - 12 minute EP Progressive/Classical rock. released 2013 TRANSMISSION RAILS - With Stef Flaming (Murky Red, Oceans 5), John Moulder and Special guest on drums - Joe Vitale (Joe Walsh, Eagles, Csny, John Lennon etc) .. 2 singles released so far.   1. Hair in a G-String part 1 (The opening) [6.25] Peter Jones: Vocals, Saxophone Colin Tench: Guitars, Piano Steve Gresswell: Piano, Keyboards, Percussion Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Stef Flaming: Percussion2. Can't see it any other way [4.36] Colin Tench: Guitars, Synths Phil Naro: Vocals Gary Derrick: Bass guitar Marco Chiappini: Piano Victor Tassone: Drums 3. Hair in a G-String part 2 (The Hairy Part) [6.04] Colin Tench: Guitars, Synthesisers, Drum programming Phil Naro: Vocals Steve Gresswell: Keyboards Stef Flaming: keyboards Oliver Rüsing: Drums, Percussion Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Stephen Speelman: Stunt bass 4. The Mad Yeti [2.54] Colin Tench: guitars 5. The Sad Brazilian [7.19] Colin Tench: Guitars, Piano Gordon Bennett: Orchestra, Shaving cream Petri Lemmy Lindström: Bass guitar 6. And so, Today [4.12] Pete Jones: Vocals, Clarinet Colin Tench: Guitars, Piano, Percussion Gordon Bennett: Orchestra Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Jay Theodore McGurrin: Drums 7. Hair in a G-String part 3 (I'm Going Down) [10.09] Peter Jones: Vocals Colin Tench: Guitars,  Synthesisers, Piano Gordon Bennett: Orchestra Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Oliver Rusing: Drums Steve Gresswell: Keyboards Angelo Hulshout: Fretless Bass Sonej Retep: Sciryl lanoitidda 8. Lisa waltzes back in with no G-String [3.53] Colin Tench: Guitars Gordon Bennett: String Section, Horns, Basses Petri Lindström: Bass Guitar Robert Wolff: Drums Pasi Koivu: Synthesisers, Organ Sean Filkins: Tamborine 9. Lisa's Entrance Unplugged[3.09] Colin Tench: Guitars, Synthesisers Ian Beabout: Flute10. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Screwed [7:32] Colin Tench: Guitars, vocals, Percussion, Piano Gary Derrick: Bass guitar Marco Chiappini: Keyboards, Piano Victor Tassone: Drums, Percussion 11. La Palo Desperado [5.54] Colin Tench: Guitars, Annoying noises 12.A Beautiful Feeling [5.58] Phil Naro: Vocals Colin Tench: Guitars, Piano, Percussion Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Gary Hodges: (Buckingham Nicks): Drums Kelly Brown: (Ozark Mountain Daredevils): Keyboards Vic Tassone: Percussion Violins: (String Section) www.springfieldmosymphony.org/ Tina Sibley (Springfield Symphony) Kirsten Weingartner (Springfield Symphony) Ned Horner (Springfield Symphony) Aleksis Zarins (Springfield Symphony) 13. Dnieper Summer Day [1.38] Colin Tench: acoustic guitars David Knokey: Rhythm Guitar Stef Flamming: Bass guitar 14. Part 4b [7.56] Peter Jones: Lead Vocals Phil Naro: Lead Vocals Colin Tench: Guitars Gordon Bennett: Orchestra, Percussion, Triangle, Thing that goes boing Petri Lindström: Bass guitar Angelo Hulshout: Fretless bass Jay Theodore McGurrin: Drums (We fired Neil Peart) 15. Part 4b Redux [0.23] Peter Jones: Piano Peter Jones: Main vocal Peter Jones: Backing vocals Peter Jones: Foley guy Peter Jones: Production Colin Tench: Bugger all Bonus Track: Liza's Waltz with full orchestral arrangements [4.23] All instruments, arrangements & Production by Gordon Bennett Based on the original Lisa's Waltz by Colin Tench

Of those Corvus Stone members we can also mention Petri Lemmy Lindström's band PROGELAND is soon releasing its debut full-length CD (also on Melodic Revolution Records)! Progeland is highly recommended to those who enjoy bands like King Crimson, Opeth or Uriah Heep (to name a few).
