Following the success of the DVD, comes the music from the project. The creative forces behind 1 Giant Leap are Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman.
The backbone of 1 Giant Leap’s music is formed by each masterpiece beginning with a pre-composed backing track which then grows and develops as new layers are added. Rather than gathering samples and taking them back to a studio, collaborators were able to hear the contributions made by others before adding their own layer to the tracks. This organic creative process has resulted in a combination of rhythms, instruments and voices from around the world.
Bridgeman explains, “We have 15 pieces of music we travel with. What we do is give them our beat, or a piece of our music, something that will inspire them. They all have radio headphones; so they’re listening to our music. Then they add their music and sing their song. This is from every country across the world, each person hearing in the headphones what the last person did.”
“Every country across the world” equates to over 50 locations visited worldwide in the production of What About Me. Some of the collaborators who “add their music and sing their songs” include k.d. lang, Michael Stipe, Alanis Morissette, Michael Franti, Carlos Santana, Stewart Copeland, Maxi Jazz and Baba Maal alongside African tribal and Bedouin musicians, Chinese rappers, Gabonese Pygmies and Tuvan throat singers, all masterfully crafted into a truly unrivalled musical experience.
Four years, five continents and 50 locations in the making, What About Me? sets out to capture the immense cultural diversity of the world we live in. A unique, inspiring musical journey that will defy any pre-conceptions you had before you pressed play ...
