The Empyrean and John’s blog – It can’t get more official than this!
Record Collection Music just passed this to I-M.net and I do hope that it will clear up the hype generated within the past couple of hours. So, read this carefully, as his is the best news we’d read all year and a proof that The Empyrean, the album beyond physical existence, is REAL. If you think someone put something in your water, they didn’t. John’s blogging about music theory on his official website. And he seems to be interested in connecting to people.
The Empyrean, John’s newest record, features Flea, Josh, Johnny Marr, The Sonus Quartet and The New Dimension Singers. It will be released worldwide on January 20th 2009 via Record Collection.
John has decided to pull down the old website and create a direct conduit to communicate with his friends and his fans. While this blog format is new to John, he is very intent on stripping down the channels of communication by eliminating the walls and safeguards that have forever separated him from the millions of people all over the world who have supported his musical efforts. It is for this reason that John decided to create a blog. In the coming months you can expect John to update this blog periodically with information about the release of the Empyrean as well as random thoughts about life and music. John will also use this blog to post various forms of artwork including unreleased tracks and demos.
John will be launching a new web store sometime next month which will be accessible via johnfrusciante.com and recordcollectionmusic.com. All of his records will be available through the store including some new T-shirt designs.
