Will Bates ‘The Pirate Album’ – out now!

In the world of music creation, the most peculiar beginnings may occasionally become the most incredible compositions. Reputable composer Will Bates certainly proves this; he recently released “The Pirate Album,” his most recent composition. Years of creative development and cooperation are reflected in the record, which began strangely enough with a big balafon, a well-known percussionist, and a rather disgruntled film director.

The narrative starts during one of Will Bates’ many endeavours to compose music for motion pictures. Without consulting the director, Bates hired a fifteen-foot-long balafon, a gourd-resonated xylophone, in an impromptu gesture of artistic inquiry. His goal with the device was to give the soundtrack of the movie a distinct, resonant sound that would make it stand out. Prolific percussionist Mathias Kunzli, a close friend, went with him on this wild musical adventure.

“The Pirate Album” demonstrates Bates’ skill in fusing a variety of musical styles. The balafon and other strange instruments give the album a unique quality that distinguishes it from more traditional pieces. The record sets out with the spirit of discovery and the hope of discovering new musical frontiers. For Will Bates, this album is more than simply a compilation of songs; it’s a strong statement of his artistic independence, one that speaks to the spirit of every artist who dares to push boundaries and produce unique work. It is evidence of Bates’ daring spirit and conviction in the value of creative freedom.

Will Bates encourages listeners to go with him on a musical journey that is both gratifying and unusual with “The Pirate Album.” His status as a prominent voice in today’s music industry is cemented by this masterfully composed piece that celebrates artistic freedom and declares creative independence.
