 Southern California band Alternate Sound of Life, known for their captivating
live shows have been touring and performing around the Southwest for the past
few years sharing the stage with bands such as Fair to Midland, Bad Acid Trip
(both on System of a Down's Serj Tankian's record label Sergical Strike), The
Apex Theory, Strata, Opus Dai, and Boy Hits Car. ASL has performed at many of
the foremost clubs in Southern California including The Troubadour, The Viper
Room, The Key Club, Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, The El Rey Theater and The
Whisky.
Following the success of their first self-produced release, EP01, ASL decided to
solicit help for the production of their debut full-length and attracted the
attention of internationally renowned producer/mixer, Ronan Chris Murphy. Murphy
has worked with some of the worlds' most elite musicians including: King
Crimson, Tony Levin, Terry Bozzio, Ulver and Steve Stevens. Having worked on
over a dozen albums with prog legends King Crimson as well as pop stars like
Jamie Walters, Murphy was the perfect choice to blend ASL's more aggressive &
intricate material with their commercial and melodic sensibilities.
Alternate Sound of Life and Ronan Chris Murphy teamed up for rehearsals and
pre-production in the spring of '07 before a rigorous five-week recording
schedule. The album reached musical completion in early Fall with mixing by
Murphy and mastering by Stephen Marsh. To accompany the 12-song musical journey,
ASL teamed up with Nspired1 (Art Direction & Photography for Droid) to handle
the visual elements of the album. After joining the band at rehearsals and in
the studio, Eric Gonzalez (art direction) and Elva Alcala (photography) of
NSpired1 ultimately created the visual elements that completed this album. With
an aggressive touring/marketing campaign in the works, the band will take its
next step in evolution with their debut release, She Whispers Loud (Jan '08).
