Steve Hackett Learned Ancient Instrument For New Album
. (Prog) Steve Hackett says that he learned to play an ancient musical instrument for upcoming solo album Wolflight. He employed other musicians to perform on tar, digeridoo, duduk and darbukkah drum - all of which he says have lent the tracks a "prehistoric" and "otherworldly" feel. He explains via his blog: "Having been fascinated by the evocative music on my trip to Morocco, I decided to have a go at learning one of those exotic instruments of the desert. "I bought an Iraqi oud - a fretless lute - and took on the challenge. It's very hard to tune, but intriguing to play when those magical sounds start to speak back to you. My oud performance features briefly a couple of times on Dust And Dreams, a piece of music designed to evoke the soul of the desert." Read more here.
