Mickey Hart is best known for his nearly three decades as an integral part of an extraordinary expedition into the soul and spirit of music,
disguised as the rock and roll band the Grateful Dead. As half of the
percussion tandem known as the Rhythm Devils, Mickey and Bill
Kreutzmann transcended the conventions of rock drumming. Their
extended polyrhythmic excursions were highlights of Grateful Dead shows,
introducing the band’s audience to an ever-growing arsenal of percussion
instruments from around the world. Exposure to these exotic sounds
fueled Mickey’s desire to learn about the various cultures that produced
them.
Currently, Hart is in the studio recording his new solo project due out
in February 2012. "I've been involved in sampling the epic events of the
universe from the Big Bang to now - everything that makes up our lives,"
says Hart, describing his upcoming album. "It's all about the vibrations of
life. In this case, they began as light waves, and these light waves are still
washing over us. The scientists at Lawrence Berkeley Labs and Meyer
Sound made them into sound waves. I want to bring these light waves into
the human range and use that as a musical catalyst and play with it."
Mickey debuted his new songs to packed houses in the summer of 2011
with the Mickey Hart Band featuring, Tim Hockenberry, Crystal Monee
Hall, Vir McCoy, Ian "Inx" Herman, Gawain Mathews, Greg Ellis, and Sikiru
Adepoju.
