“The Spell” - CHAD WACKERMAN

Chad Wackerman – Drums
Daryl Pratt - Vibes
James Muller – Guitar
Leon Gaer – Bass

Recorded in Sydney, Australia at “The Drumroom” by Guy Dickerson.

One of the things I enjoy most is composing and recording original music, so I jumped at the chance to write something featuring my band and giving myself a chance to stretch a little. I wanted to compose something with a heavier rock feel than I have done on my previous recordings; ’The Spell’ has a slow 5/4 feel with a quirky melody played on vibraphone, triggering a koto (Japanese harp) sample. The melody shifts between sixteenth and triplet based subdivisions. There is a dramatic shift in mood in the bridge, which features the guitar work of James Muller. I decided to call the tune ‘The Spell’ because of its dark, menacing mood. I’d like to thank Pete Morticelli for inviting me to participate on this project, and I want to thank my band Daryl Pratt (vibes), James Muller (guitar) and Leon Gaer (bass). - Chad Wackerman
