Drinking and drugs will put you in a state – your mind is hazy and your life you hate. Just when you think you got off the floor, your demons are conquered, you’re looking for more. Your head is spinning just like a top, hanging on the bowl now you up chuck. As you are down on your luck and look at the road, there is that toad in the middle of that road, a car goes by that toad goes splat sorry to say that’s where it’s at, “Everything is Flat!”

I wrote this song at the tale end of the pandemic year in 2020. It was an instrumental piece that I did not get around to putting any vocals on it and it didn’t have a solid drum track. I was looking to send it over to my old band mate drummer from “The Lampshades”, but alas everybody was on lock down. So what are we going to do to get this drum track down? Texting back and forth with Gary the drummer, he had an idea to send him the track with the click track and he would figure it out and take it from there. A few weeks later, he sent me this Youtube video of him and his take on the drum parts for the song. I just came across it the other day and felt I had to share,

“Willow Creek” featuring Gary Sabshon on drums!

After many discussions, Idea’s and iterations, we have a name for my new album. The cover art work has been completed!

Taking a lead from Ed Sheeran’s cover art for his album called “Divide”. The concept of multiply (thus the multiplication icon “X”) came to me and to embellish it further I took it to “Multiplier” in which has many meanings. I wanted that multiplication icon “X” to be the main focus in what your eye goes to first and foremost.

Multiplier – a device for increasing by repetition the intensity of an electric current to a measurable level.

Multiplier increases and intensifies that electric musical current – pulsating the electrons throughout your body and brain, making you twitch, dance, think and illuminate your feelings as the music multiplies and engulfs your surroundings.

Look for Multiplier to be released some time in mid late November!
