Battery Project Update

Thanks to a generous grant from the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music's Musical Grant Program, Gojogo is currently hard at work writing new music for our concept album. The music is inspired by the history and and evolution of military batteries that dot the coast and entrance to the San Francisco Bay. We have made many visits to these strange and beautiful sites this summer, experimenting with the odd acoustics within the batteries and taking in the amazing environments that are reclaiming the concrete ruins. At the end of July, we will go to the studio to record a demo album with engineer and co-producer Monte Vallier. The demo will inform us of unexpected possibilities the music could take and spark its evolution into a full-length album next year. Eric and Roger hard at work on the album.
