“The idea of the musicians coming together to lay it all out on the line with no rehearsal, giving way to the idea of ‘making mistakes’ because of the nature of improvisation, is appealing,” Stone explains. “I think the ‘translucent’ part of the name applies to this concept well. What you see is what you get and we are not hiding anything. We are all exposed up there on stage presenting it to you the moment it arrives in us.”
After many years of concentrating on his band and recording Music From the Future in 2016, Stone has diversified once again, working with other projects and producing others in his home studio. In this Covid-19 atmosphere, he, like all musicians, is finding creative ways to continue his passion. Recording is one plan and remote performing is another.
