IMMOVABLE MOVER (www.immovablemover.com) has just released its debut, self-titled compact disc, containing nearly a full hour of hard-driving, richly-textured progressive/alternative rock. The album presents a hybrid of modern and more classic "prog" rock sensibilities, starting with organic, intimate-sounding guitar, bass, drums, and vocals and broadening the soundscape with a multitude of keyboards, orchestral strings, and every manner of exotic instrument. Musically, IMMOVABLE MOVER refuses to conform itself into any trendy genre such as grunge or alt/rock as popular radio knows it, instead following its own stubbornly individualistic path. Individualism also serves as the cornerstone of the lyrics, which reject the dreary, nihilistic attitudes so prevalent in contemporary rock in favor of a more rational and positive view of life greatly inspired by the late author/philosopher Ayn Rand. The debut CD is a one-man project - written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Dave Gastambide. The lineup will soon be expanded as Dave prepares to unleash his brand of "thinking man's" rock on unsuspecting club audiences throughout Michigan.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Plans are currently being made to begin playing live shows in support of the debut album later this year.
Your musical influences
Rush had by far the strongest influence on my development as a writer and player for many years, and my hyperactive drums/bass interplay will still remind many of the Canadian trio. Many other artists have contributed to diversifying my influences and broadening my sound and style, including Yes, Journey, Toto, Bruce Hornsby, and Patrick O'Hearn, to name a few.
What equipment do you use?
Digidesign Pro Tools recording/mixing software, AKG mics, Carvin basses, etc...
