GLOBAL SOUND LODGE
NEW SINGLE “HANDS TOGETHER” FOR HAITI FEATURING SLASH
ON ITUNES, AMAZON, NAPSTER, RHAPSODY AND EMUSIC
Hollywood, CA (February 26, 2010) — GLOBAL SOUND LODGE, a new musical consciousness comprising musicians Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) and Lanny Cordola in partnership with Brendan Morrissey and Star Biz Management, have released their debut single, “Hands Together,” featuring a guest appearance by Slash.
Through many experiments and communions over the years, Sorum and Cordola felt a calling to explore a deeper sonic terrain. Now, in 2010, a transcontinental vision has emerged: Uniting musicians from around the world to form GLOBAL SOUND LODGE (GSL) — a tribe of peacemaking musical provocateurs whose aim is to create music with a social, spiritual and moral conscience, while offering melodies to those caught in the grips of poverty and social upheaval.
“Our first single ‘Hands Together’ was written for the Haitian people in this time of tragedy in their homeland,” says Sorum. “We are building a group of international musicians with varied humanitarian efforts based on situations around the world that need our attention.”
Taking their cues from sonic avatars John Coltrane and John Lennon, Cordola explains that GSL “excavates profound musical truths to create a new consciousness of social justice, cosmic harmony, spiritual unity and reverence for the earth.”
In addition to the new single, GSL have recorded songs inspired by Aung San Suu Kyi, a leader of the nonviolent movement for human rights and democracy in Burma, and Neda Agha-Soltan, who was killed during the Iranian elections of 2009.
“After many years traveling the world playing music and meeting so many people,” Sorum continues, “we believe it is in us all to come together with love and music to help one another.”
Plans are also underway for Global Sound Lodge to hit the road this summer and raise awareness for various causes worldwide with a series of song cycles and multimedia live performances.
