Alan Parsons

I had the tremendous pleasure of seeing my very good friend Chris Thompson (Official) on our last tour. We thought it would be fun to surprise the audience and have him come up and sing one with us.

Yesterday marked the anniversary for NASA and Apollo 11. NASA and I teamed up for this momentous event in our history with a song to commemorate a grand achievement as a human race. The song is #OneNoteSymphony and it appears on my new album #TheSecret. "One Note Symphony" is having quite an impact around the world. A video for the song of us accompanied by the 80 piece Israel Philharmonic - התזמורת הפילהרמונית הישראלית Orchestra serves as a tribute to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's 50 year anniversary of their #Apollo11 mission. A very special thank you to the producing/directing team of Trinity Houston and David Minasian at IM3Global. #AlanParsons

PRESS RELEASE NASA Joins Forces with Alan Parsons to Celebrate Apollo 11’s 50th Anniversary It was July 20th, 1969. Much of the world was huddled around archaic black and white television sets, mesmerized by mankind’s first steps on another world. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Apollo 11 mission had safely delivered American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the moon and back. Meanwhile, that same month, a young 20-year-old British recording engineer named Alan Parsons was helping The Beatles put the finishing touches to what would become their penultimate release, Abbey Road. From there, Alan would go on to become one of the most successful Producer/Engineers of all time, recording such world-class acts as Paul McCartney's Wings, Pink Floyd, The Hollies (Official), Ambrosia, Al Stewart, and countless others before forming his own multi-platinum vehicle, The Alan Parsons Project. A lot has changed in the last 50 years. The Apollo program is no longer active and the Beatles are no more, yet Parsons remains busier than ever. After 13 nominations, Parsons finally won a Grammy this year for his classic album "Eye in the Sky: 35th Anniversary Immersive Edition". This year also marked the release of Alan’s first album of new material in 15 years called #TheSecret. Just last month, the Alan Parsons Live Project teamed up with the world-renowned Israel Philharmonic - התזמורת הפילהרמונית הישראלית Orchestra for a pair of shows at Charles Bronfman Auditorium in Tel Aviv. The historic performances were captured on video by the producing & directing team of Trinity Houston and David Minasian and form the basis for Parsons' latest audio/visual exploration #OneNoteSymphony. Co-written by Parsons and fellow bandmates Todd Cooper (Sax & Vocals) and Tom Brooksmusic (Keyboards & Orchestral Arrangements), "One Note Symphony" tells of the universal sound the Earth makes as it travels through space. The video features the Alan Parsons Live Project band (which also includes Pj Olsson, JeffKollman, Dan Tracey, Guy Erez, and Danny Thompson) performing alongside the Israel Philharmonic. This powerful track is further enhanced by breathtaking visuals taken from Writer/Director Bobby Bala's upcoming sci-fi film The Shipment along with vintage Apollo footage provided by NASA. Which of course brings this story full circle. The Alan Parsons Live Project has been selected to perform at the Cocoa Riverfront Park in Cocoa, FL this Saturday, July 13th in celebration of the #Apollo11 lunar landing. Rick Armstrong, the son of the first man to set foot on the surface of the moon is scheduled to perform as well with his band Edison's Children. As Parsons himself has stated, this show will indeed “be one for the books.” Photo Credit: Shlomi Pinto Concert Organizer and Promoter: Udi Appelboim Special Thanks: Lisa Marie Parsons, Tabitha Parsons, Jordan Asher Huffman Tropo Tyson Leonard, Martin Thomas, Becky OtterBot, Marilyn Ambach, IM3Global, Grant Goddard, Chris Ericson, Trinity Houston

We are a couple of shows into our current tour. We started with an amazing show in Istanbul, and then two fantastic shows in Tel Aviv with the world class Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of our very own Tom Brooks. We played several songs from my new album "The Secret", and I cannot express to all of you how much your love and appreciation for the music means to me. Below is a wonderful review by our friends in Israel. We are looking forward to many more shows to come, as we have several more dates throughout Germany and Canada in front of us.

When I was still a teenager, before taking a position at Abbey Road Studios, I was the guitar player in a blues rock band called The Earth. We got together and recorded an album which wasn't released for almost 50 years. This is something I am very proud of and I am pleased to see that someone has found the masters and pressed them to vinyl. "These two tracks were recorded in Regents Sound Studio in London in 1968..." You can listen to and purchase the single available on vinyl here. Enjoy!

2019 Grammy-winning producer Alan Parsons opens the door to his new state-of-the-art recording studio Parsonics in the hills above Santa Barbara, California, for three days of master classes, July 25th, 26th and 27th 2019. Visit https://www.artandscienceofsound.com/ for more info. Session 1: Music Production Rules (July 25th) This full day of Professional Development combines invaluable insights into teaching music production, covering everything from navigating the rules and requirements of getting a Recording / Music Production / Music Tech program funded, to strategies, practical guides to current DAWs, concluding with a hands-on module where Alan demonstrates how to record ‘acoustic guitar with vocal. Session 2: In The Mix (July 26th) Session 2 is a dedicated mix session, where Alan will take tracks recorded at some of his previous master classes and complete both a stereo and a Surround mix. Session 3 Life’s A Long Song (July 27th) The final day is a classic ‘no holes barred' day of recording, where Alan will record ‘from scratch’ a tracking session, instrumental overdubs and vocals. This is a full band session where you’ll be part of the miking and tracking of a live rhythm section. Instrumental overdubs and vocals will follow. We look forward to seeing you there. #AlanParsons #ArtofScienceandSoundRecording #ASSR #ParSonics
