Singled Out: Ajax Ray O'Vaque's Calling All Galaxies
. "Calling All Galaxies" was quite an emotional song for me to sing. The lyrics are a dialog I'm having with both the heavens and the spirit of my father Joe Resta who passed away in June 1997. My dad was a very deep thinker. We were good buds. We used to stare at the stars for a very long time talking about things like how odd it was that the light from the stars we were just seeing took millions of light years to arrive. So long that those very same stars no longer existed. We just knew that our sun and our tiny planet could not possibly be the only inhabited place in the infinite night sky. So in the song I sing to him for answers. "Calling all galaxies" looking for a response of any kind from the vast somethingness and struggling with the possibility of nothingness. Energy cannot be created or destroyed it only changes form Stay tuned ...earthlings:) The music actually came together first on this one during the making of a cartoon band project I was producing called "Madthemartian" We never got back to it as and that album already had 13 tracks so.... I asked Madthemartian if the co-writer of my solo record (Greg Ansin )and I could write the lyrics and melodies and they agreed. We recorded it at both Paramount recording Studios in Hollywood and Bopnique studios in New England. Karyadi Sutedja did a brilliant mix on this... I just love the lack of hype it has. The Instrumentation is: Beatbox, drums, percussion, guitars , synth bass, harmonica and multimoog. The video is directed by Tracey Gylnn and will be out next week. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the album right here!
