Sculpturing Silence is based on the philosophy that music like art and sculpture is aconstant creation of the changing mind, moods and expression of individuals.However, unlike art, sculpture and solo musical performances, which are often highly individualistic, group based music creation depends on the blending of individual characters and the interdependent drive and passion of dynamic rhythm and harmony.
Like a sculpture and a painting that gives form to the creative mind, music provides the soul and form to silence. For music, one needs to sculpture silence.
Sculpturing Silence is a 4 piece group of musicians playing straight blues, blues based rock and occasionally jazz rock. The group comprises:
- Rodin on Electric Bass/Vocals
- Deepak on Lead Guitar/Vocals
- Freddy on Alto sax
- VJ on Drums
Probably the only blues/rock group with an Alto sax, they have been playing together and with others for the past 15 years both locally and overseas “off & on” depending on their phase in life! They cover blues, blues-based rock and occasionally jazz rock & some psychedelic stuff.
Based on the styles and elements of 60s and 70s giants of blues based rock improvisers such as Cream, early Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Iron Butterfly etc, the music played by Sculpturing Silence is a dynamic musical expression - total creativity and improvisation yet retaining the subtle elements of originality of composers. Perhaps as a hint of respect to the pioneers.
