This is the first video from the iGenesis Project - a Genesis Tribute Band that exists only in cyberspace. I happen to be the drummer!!!
Whilst there may not be much drumming on this track, I hope nonetheless that you all appreciate the video, and the effort put in by the international cast of musicians that make up the band. In particular, I think congratulations are in order for Cyrus, our keyboard player, for creating such an exceptional video!!!
I have now been working online with Cyrus for a year. He lives in the USA, and it was he who suggested that we create a virtual Genesis Tribute Band. It seems to have taken us forever to get to this stage! I have already laid down the drum parts for a full In The Cage Medley, and Fly On A Windshield, but we are still awaiting input from guitarists on those! So, what you have here is something more obscure, and admittedly with very little by way of drums!
That said, the video that Cyrus has put together here is frankly, absolutely stunning, even if I say so myself. And the guitar work of Tony ('troubleclef'), the keyboard playing by Cyrus, and last but by no means least the sublime vocals of Ron, make this in my view a very beautiful rendition of this song. I am incredibly proud to be a part of it, and feel humbled to be playing with these fantastic musicians. Who cares if there is not much drumming on this one? I certainly don't, and I hope you can all see past that! Personally, I love this video!
It is the view of iGenesis that in an age of ubiquitous broadband and affordable high-quality recording equipment, there is no need for geography to limit the ability of musicians to work together. Whilst none of us are ever likely to meet in person, it is nonetheless wonderful to collaborate, in cyberspace, on re-producing some of Genesis' most beautiful works.
"Blood on the Rooftops" is about an old couple bitching about what's on TV. Cyrus has done an incredible job of matching movie clips with the lyrics. Enjoy!
iGenesis are very keen to hear from any musicians (ESPECIALLY GUITARISTS!!!) who would like to get involved with future covers. So please do get in touch - have a look at the iGenesis website (address at end of video) for instructions :-)
MORE FROM iGENESIS SOON!
