* An Avalance Of Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards Video: The Podcasts Are In Full Swing

"Yup, it's in the air - can you feel it? We're a week away from the release of Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards and our standard-issue video podcast series is in full swing already!

We're counting down the days to release with one song featured each day. Come visit us and join along, see the schedule, and watch previous episodes at this location.

In these video podcasts, Joe plays a little bit from each song, talks about the story behind the song, and then we roll a minute preview thatis combined with exclusive footage from the recording of it at the amazing Skywalker Sound.

In addition to the individual song podcast, we also have a special Studio Webisode 4-part miniseries that takes you deeper into the studio and features more in depth interviews and exclusive behind the scenes footage.

You might notice that for this album we've had a little bit of fun with the green screen and put Joe into outer space a bit (those are some amazing Hubble telescope images in the background)."

Satriani’s 14th studio album, Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards, produced and recorded by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, METALLICA) and Satriani, and is set for release on October 5, 2010 through Epic Records. Veteran Satriani bandmate Jeff Campitelli joins Joe on drums, while newcomers, keyboardist Mike Keneally (FRANK ZAPPA, STEVE VAI) and bassist Allen Whitman (MERMEN) are adding their expertise to the mix. Satriani’s classic sound also carries a surprisingly rich texture of new material as well.
