Tramtracks

Tramtracks' Origins Go Back To 2003 When Toivo Pilt As Keyboard Player For Recently Re-Formed 1970s Australian Prog Rock Band Sebastian Hardie Was Supporting The Sydney And Melbourne Concerts For Progressive Rock Legends Yes A Tour That Was Instigated By Long-Time Friend Robert Forbes And A Local Group Of Fans - YesFANZ. The Creative High Of Those Magical Days Had To Continue In Some Way So It Was Decided To Meet Regularly To Play And Record Music Purely For The Fun And Fulfilment Of It. Forbes Set Up A Recording Studio In The Sleepy Inner Sydney Village Suburb Of Glebe And At First The Music Was Purely Keyboard And Synthesiser Based With A Theremin Being Added Later. After Some Weeks Old Friend Mark Hudson Appeared On The Scene With His Small Arsenal Of Guitars. Hudson Played With James Reyne In An Early Version Of Australian Crawl And Had Also Played With Max Sharam And Other Sydney Groups. Later On Athol Spraggs Contributed On Many Sessions Assisting With Engineering And Bass And Drum Programmes. After The Release Of See Forbes Bought A Drum Kit For The Studio Although At That Time They Did Not Have A Drummer. However Before Long A Friend From Yes Fan Club YesFANZ Graeme James Stepped In To The Role. Graeme Has A Great Progressive Feel To His Playing - He Really Listens To And Watches The Two Keyboard Players - Toivo And Robert - And Intuitively Changes Rhythm Patterns As They Change Chords And Keys. Mark Hudson Also Enjoys Working With This Live Feel. Now Following On From Their Previous CD "Rain" This Collective Has Created Their Latest CD "You". The Tramtracks Sound Continues To Evolve With Rich Instrumentation And Further Rhythmic Development And A Great Progressive Feel. Http //tramtracks.Com/history.Html read less
