About Memory Burn
Memory Burn is made up of several high profile musicians who came together to create this special work. Vocalist Johnny Indovina of the critically acclaimed Human Drama is joined by guitarist Steve Caton, a fixture in Tori Amos projects for over a decade, and Raging Slab drummer Rob Cournoyer. Bassist Mike Mallory and pianist Dave Zimmerman previously worked together in the art rock band Miracle Mile, releasing two well-received albums "To Burn Together" and "the Journal of Mr. Black" (also produced by Indovina). It was Zimmerman, a classically trained pianist, who piloted the project, writing all 13 of the original songs, and structuring the album not as a musical work, but as a screenplay. "I have, for a long time wanted to write a screenplay based on this idea," says Zimmerman. "'A Life of its Own' is the music for that screenplay. It's not intended to be a musical, but rather a drama that involves music in the plot. I really had to reach deep down inside myself for the lyrics into places that normally I don't like to go, but the result was well worth it." Impeccably produced by Indovina and co-produced by Jim Wirt, whose previous work has included LA Guns, Incubus, and Human Drama; "A Life of its Own" unfolds before you like scenes from a beautiful movie. Flowing seamlessly from song to song, the intensity rises and falls like the rain from a soft summer shower. Songs like "Time", "Believe", "Why", and "Fear" lead the listener on an emotional journey that culminates with "Freedom". It's a tale of loss, and how individuals cope with it. Memory Burn "A Life of its Own" is a true concept album full of big, epic, memorable songs; in a word, timeless. http://www.memoryburn.org/
