HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU
Despite all the doom and gloom I am feeling very optimistic and excited about 2009. I am kicking off this year working with Esther Alexander producing her second album. We are recording the basic tracks with a live band and a really interesting variety of approaches. We are using a string quartet, accordian, trombone and a woodwind section plus Miles Bould and Mark Neary as the rhythm section. David Clifton on guitars and myself ..s and programming, I will post some music when we start to mix, we are very excited! I am also working with the european artist Misa Relic in February, completing his album before the summer. This year should see the completion of the huge film project “Anima” that I have been working on for the last year and a half. We have recorded the underscore with the LSO at Abbey Road and completed all the rough mixes in Milan which Fabrizio Ferri will film to. A new song that I co-wrote with Sting and Fabrizio called “Where Do They Go” is a standout moment. I trust you will have a peaceful and healthy year ahead.
My best Kip

For centuries, the Taj Mahal has inspired poets, painters and musicians to try and capture its elusive magic in word, colour and song. It is one of the most flawless architectural creations of the world. Since the 17th century, travellers have crossed continents to come and see this ultimate memorial to love, and few have been unmoved by its incomparable beauty.Taj Mahal stands in the city of Agra, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, on the banks of the Yamuna River. It was built in the memory of the beautiful Arjumand Bano Begum, who won the heart of a Mughal prince. She was married at 21 to Emperor Jahangir’s third son Prince Khurram and stayed loyally by his side through good times and bad: in the luxurious royal palaces of Agra .In AD 1628, Khurram became king. He took the name Shahjahan or “King of the World” and showered his beloved begum with the highest titles. She became Mumtaz Mahal, the exalted of the palace and Mumtaz-ul-Zamani, the exalted of the Age. In 1631, Shahjahan went on an expedition to the south and, as always, Mumtaz Mahal accompanied him. she died in childbirth at Burhanpur. She had borne Shahjahan fourteen children, of whom four sons and three daughters survived. When Mumtaz Mahal died, she was just 39 years old. Shahjahan was inconsolable and contemporary chronicles tell of the royal court mourning for two years. there was no music, no feasting, and no celebration of any kind. Epitome Of Love -Taj Mahal Shahjahan, who was a passionate builder, now decided to erect a memorial to his queen in pristine marble that the world would never forget. The site selected for the tomb was a garden by the Yamuna river, unshadowed by any other structure. The garden had been laid by Raja Man Singh of Amber Yemen sent agates, the corals came from Arabia, the garnets from Bundelkhand, onyx and amethyst from Persia. Mumtaz Mahal’s final resting-place was ornamented like a queen’s jewel-box.
