February 21, 2010, 14 years ago
Fretless harp guitarist Tim Donahue, known in metal circles for his MADMEN & SINNERS album from 2004 featuring DREAM THEATER vocalist James LaBrie, recently contacted BW&BK; with an exclusive update on his new project currently going under the name TIM DONAHUE'S ECLIPSE:
"I'll be planning an album towards the end of the year. That said, recording the new material is quite easy, there is no more laboring over this and that as I did before, trying to get a decent sound. But before we record a bonafide album, Eclipse will be making some promo vids. I'm so long overdue for an updated vid!The new music is killing me, the main reason being, I've gone head first into the harp guitar thing, collaboratng with an amazing drummer, Akira Yamazaki. It has finally come together, just the two of us performing everything in real time. It took this long to find the formula but it was worth it. Akira plays like no one I've ever played with. He's so into the new music, it's a situation I could only dream about in the past.
This is a live recording of Eclipse, with no MIDI sequencing or additional musicians, just harp guitar with drums.
Anyway, there will soon be more concert dates and updates on my website."
As previously reported, Donahue has launched an official Facebook page featuring several audio samples from Eclipse and video footage from a fretless guitar clinic. Check out all the material at this location. You do not require a Facebook account to view.
Donahue is featured in a three minute NBC news segment showcasing his harp guitar, available below, aired in 2008.
