ALEXANDER:

 

"Listening to and studying Syd Barrett changed my way of playing the guitar and composing.

 

The panorama opened up for me and I entered a world of colors.

 

I understood that music goes far beyond notes, harmony and that everything "sounds good".

 

I feel like I was able to connect with Syd even technically because I learned a lot from Syd Barrett's recordings and a lot of those things were applied on the record like having two channels for vocals, dissonances, effects and much more.

 

Syd Barrett has influenced me a lot not only in the musical aspect but he was also present when writing the lyrics.

 

I tried to make a mix between Syd's experiences and mine.

 

There are parts in which I speak like him and parts in which I speak, but always starting from the general idea of his paintings."

NICHOLAS:

 

"As a drummer I feel that I was able to interpret the styles of Nick Mason and John Bonham creating a mix of executions that were more heartfelt than technical.

 

The drums on this album find the nuances and feelings that needed to be provided with each "touch", "splash" and "curls" to convey the intensity of the colors of Syd's paintings.

 

There is also percussion. On track 9 "Coliseum" I played a percussion instrument called Derbake, something I had never played before.  

 

Adriana had visualized and heard the colors and tones of a Colosseum in one of Syd's paintings, and felt that the introduction of the track should reflect the historical fact of the martyrs thrown to the lions.  

 

Then an autochthonous instrument from the Middle East was included to achieve the desired rhythm and technique, and for which I studied the rhythms and techniques to execute it."

FABRIZIO:

 

"Thank you for allowing me this space.

 

Before getting involved in this project I studied classical and jazz composition.

 

I know that Rick Wright influenced Pink Floyd with his knowledge of academic music. 

 

I think without this influence, Pink Floyd would have been something very different.

 

In any project it is important that all its members contribute from their knowledge.

 

Just as Wright brought his to Pink Floyd, I contributed mine to the Garden Music Project, and together with Alex, Stefan and Nico we achieved the instrumental balance.

 

As on Floyd, there is a lot of keyboard and synthesizer work on this CD. Compositionally, it was the main melodies, chords and tensions that I worked on.

 

Later, in the recording studio, we delved into the creation of climates.

 

Although the songs were already assembled, when we got to the recording studio, we left a lot of room for experimentation as Floyd and  Syd Barret did, of course."
