Shay Dan: So how did that
one song evolve into an entire Album ?
Dante:
The interesting thing here is that the
title 'Sea Of Songs' implied just that - a collection of songs.
So once I came up with the first track it was it's title that
compelled me to create 'the' sea of songs !
Shay Dan: So is there a
common theme in the sea ? Is it the same stretch of ocean
with the same currents ?
Dante: That's a good
analogy. The easiest way to describe it is that its
essentially a list of some of my fascinations in life - both
recent and historical.
Shay Dan:
So you get themes ranging from religious,
scientific, historical and sociological ?
Dante: Sure. I've got
Ancient Egypt, Dinosaurs, Space craft and Rock Stars all in
there somewhere.
Shay Dan: And even Time
Machines I notice.
Dante: Yeah - but that's not like a science
fiction time machine, its taking the concept of the human mind
being a kind of time machine.
Shay Dan: In that we as
humans think a lot about the past and/or the future?
Dante: Yeah - and I'm wondering
about that coming from the survival instincts of ancient
animals, who had to say predict the movements of predators in
order to protect their young.
Shay Dan:
And now the concept of humans sending a
space craft to land on Mars and collect information.
That's quite futuristic.
Dante: I also find it God
like - so its a natural (although potentially controversial)
intersection of Science and Religion.
Shay Dan: Cool. |
