Mike Mangini is having a hell of every week. Mangini parted methods with Dream Theater yesterday as Mike Portnoy returned to the band, and now he is introduced his new solo album Invisible Indicators for November 11. The file options Tony Dickinson on bass, Ivan Keller on guitar, Firewind guitarist Gus G. on lead guitar, and ex-Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura on vocals.
On the newest single ‘Not Drowning’, Mangini stated: “Whereas listening to the refrain a part of this music someday in 2018, I heard phrase sounds in my thoughts and the phrase ‘drowning’ match it fairly nicely. I did not wish to write about it actually although. Additionally, the lyrics on this album aren’t about private occasions or tales they usually’re alleged to be easy and rapidly digestible, not complicated just like the content material (under) that I discovered. This album is purposefully not ‘prog’ in any approach.
“Looking out phrases associated to ‘drowning’ ultimately led me to the phrase ‘confusion.’ That made me consider the confusion surrounding the findings of Quantum Mechanics. I discovered cases of physicists and mathematicians saying that the check outcomes appeared unusual and ‘flawed,’ and that they may not reconcile it with their view of actuality.
“Some stated there are issues about it we can not know, or perhaps aren’t alleged to know. It appeared to me that spending an excessive amount of time immersing oneself in it could actually make an individual loopy. Einstein died confounded by it spending numerous hours attempting to recocile it with the fact he knew. The myriad of unfounded conjectures outdoors the physics neighborhood conjured up a comedy skit in my thoughts, but there’s something that’s not including up on the very core of all of it and that is not humorous. The strains ‘Not Drowning’ and ‘I’ll breathe’ every relate to the hope of clearing away what’s blurring the fact of one thing in all types of conditions.
“For a music lyric, I suspected that singing about physics would not be as widespread as the concept of leaping in a saltwater pool. I wanted a descriptive location for it. ‘Yard’ did not work, so I used the phrase ‘nation’ as a result of everybody lives in a single. That phrase led me to ‘radiation,’ as that is what heats up a pool and has a cool sound to it when sung. Primarily, phrases come to me as sounds, then I search round and kind one thing cohesive, however attempt to not sacrifice how the phrases sound.
“I believed this may be fascinating to find out about. On the finish of the day, nonetheless, it is only a music for rocking out! After which there’s the simultaneous 7/8 in Widespread Time and a wild solo part for the Musos!”
