Hello!  I just thought I’d give you an update about what has been going on in the BLG universe lately.  Today Vince Welch, Courtney Swain, and I will be heading to a new studio in Quincy, MA to track some guitar, violin, and voice for the new Ben Levin Group and Bent Knee albums.  We have been in the studio a lot lately because we are recording two new 40 minute epics “Invisible Paradise” and “Freak Machine” both of which have a lot of layers and orchestration.  We won’t be releasing those for quite a while but in the mean time, Greg Bowen, the BLG album art guy is working on the “Pulse of a Nation” graphic novel.

I have been obsessed with comic books and drawing lately, and I am really excited to be able to translate the Pulse story into a  graphic novel.  I love Greg’s style and the finished product is going to be a beautiful piece of  sequential visual art that will go really well with the music.  You can see the introduction to the book on the website now.  The second half of the graphic novel is going to be drastically different from the introduction but I don’t want to ruin the surprise!

Please leave a comment and let me know what you’ve been up to.  Please feel free to share links to your own albums or art work in response to this post!
