Infinite Fade Out Today

My new EP is out today! Purchase it now at Infinite Fade | Jason Blake

I had the idea to create a story about the decline of a futuristic civilization. As I began composing the music for this album, I decided to have it follow in the format of a Greek tragedy. While the majority of the songs are technically solo pieces, I did use a Wazinator DropKick stompbox pedal to add a percussive element. For tracks six and seven, I included drums by my Aziola Cry bandmate, Tommy Murray. I wanted the entire album to build up to the conclusion of the story and so I decided to include drums on the final two songs. Of my solo releases, I would say that this closest resembles my writing for Aziola Cry.

Beyond the conceptual idea, the music was written with live performance in mind as each of the songs have been performed as part of my solo Warr Guitar shows. While I haven’t played the album in its entirety on stage yet, I do have plans of making this happen.

COV3RS

In between writing music for a new album, I decided to learn a few covers that have been inspirational to me on my journey to being a Warr Guitarist. Last month, I released my version of “Forty Six & 2” by Tool and today saw the release of a new single for “Tom Sawyer” by Rush. Out today exclusively on my Bandcamp page completes this fun project. COV3RS includes the two previously mentioned tracks along with King Crimson’s “Red”. I hope that you enjoy my takes on these classics.

Forty Six & 2

I am excited to announce my Warr Guitar cover version of Forty Six & 2 by Tool available now on all streaming platforms!

I am very proud of how it turned out as it captures the essence of the song while showcasing the Warr Guitar as a solo instrument. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Enjoy!

Cover Song Tomorrow

I’m trying something a little different. Tomorrow will see the release of my first cover song.
