Steve Hackett Wanted To Explore The Evolution Of Music On New Album
. (Prog) Steve Hackett hopes listeners don't recognise the sounds they hear on upcoming album Wolflight - because that's the way he intended it. The former Genesis guitarist set out to explore the evolution of music in his first solo original work since 2011. Hackett has previously revealed that he'd learned to play the Iraqi oud while preparing to record, and that Wolflight includes a range of ancient instruments. In the new promo video, Hackett says: "I was playing it to Nick Magnus and he said, 'I don't recognise what half the instruments are.' I said, 'That's good - that's what we wanted, to go through that reinvention.' "It was made so you can go from genre to genre. There's not too many difficult time signatures in here." He adds: "I'd like to think Darwin would be proud of this; it's a journey that goes through a lot of different places and times." Watch the video here.
