Solarstone Announces Touchstone

21:49 - May 24, 2010

by davehart

© Solarstone We have heard mutterings that Solarstone will be bringing a brand new artist album out this summer and today all the details regarding Rich's latest long player have been revealed. It's about to 'Touchstone'...

The next phase in the illustrious chapter of Solarstone will be unleashed this June and is set to be one of the most anticipated artist albums of the summer. A summer I may add is now officially under way! The Solarstone project is firmly in the controls of composer, artist and international DJ Richard Mowatt who has a talent for trance like no other. His first artist LP under the new era of Solarstone came with the sensational 'Rain Stars Eternal', which was a defining album for Rich and came back up a few months later with the remix edition 'RESmix' which gave a different twist on Solarstone's superb originals. We have heard the mutterings around the paddock that there would be a new Solarstone album this year and just a few weeks ago we got a first glimpse of it with his latest single ‘Electric Love’. A vocal affair featuring the voice of Bill Mcgruddy and backed up by monster mixes from John OO Fleming & The Digital Blonde, Elfsong and Rafael Frost. The single has done more that appetite the palette for more, it’s gone and soaked it through!

Today we finally got glimpse of the final track list with a twelve track EP including the current single on offer. The album looks to be pure Solarstone with no collaborations making this a solo architecture piece crafted from the mind of one very talented producer, Richard Mowatt. Of course, this a Solarstone album and with four weeks to go until its release you can get involved. There are prizes to be won with your help to spread the word of Solarstone's new artist LP 'Touchstone' release.

In 2008 he produced Rain Stars Eternal, his rebirth 2.0 artist album and in 2009 he imagined and created Electronic Architecture - his IDMA-nominated concept compilation vision. Now, for a new decade, Solarstone returns with… Touchstone.

In ways big and small, conscious or otherwise, inspiration happens to everyone, everyday of their lives. Musicians are perhaps intrinsically even more open to it. Lines thick, thin, straight and curved are drawn to productions that span back over many decades... In his own production work, identifying these inspirations, down to their smallest fraction is something that Solarstone (composer, producer, singer & DJ Richard Mowatt) has long been captivated by.

Touchstone, his new artist album, brings these inspirations out of the cortex and into the light, ‘musically mapping’, for the first time, an artist that has at every turn sought to redefine the word trance. As with every album ever produced, influences are there to be picked up on by the listener. On Touchstone though they are first illuminated, clarified and examined by the artist himself. Richard goes on to explain: "To me musical inspiration comes in many forms. It can be artists that I’ve fallen in love with wholesale and still venerate to this day, or simply fragments of music that made a lasting impression at arbitrary points in my life. 'Touchstone' is a culmination of all those inspirations."

Solarstone's brand new artist album 'Touchstone' will be released on June 28th 2010 on Solaris Recordings. Its dedicated microsite has just gone live and will be there in the run up to the release and beyond to keep you up to date with all the info-bursts. Featured on it over the next few weeks will be some incredible on-location mini-documentaries that take you behind the musical creation of ‘Touchstone’. There will also be some great free music downloads (on the site already is an exclusive, unreleased, don’t-miss mix of the new Solarstone single ‘Electric Love’) and amazing competitions (more about which below!).

In a wholly new cutting-edge fashion we want your portal's users to Participate in the album’s release! We have created a points = prizes feature on the website for registered users to help us spread word of ‘Touchstone’ around the worldwideweb. They can help us by embedding 'Touchstone' widgets on their social networking pages, forums & websites. The widgets enable people visiting their pages to listen to tracks from the album and then themselves get involved. They can recommend friends to join and every time your widget has a friend sign up or creates a sale, they automatically get points added to their account. And remember best of all: Points are going to equal some pretty incredible Prizes!
