Peter Frampton's new mini-album, "Hummingbird In A Box", will be
released in the UK and US on Tuesday June 24th via RED
Distribution/Sony Music.
The new music was inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet, featuring seven
original guitar pieces in Frampton's virtuosic stylings. Frampton
composed all songs on the mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who
also co-produced the recording. The two previously teamed up for
"Fingerprints", which garnered them both a Grammy Award for Best Pop
Instrumental Album.
The music debuted in April 2013 at Cincinnati's Aronoff Center for the
Arts. Two of the Cincinnati Ballet's spring production's segments were
choreographed to existing Frampton music—with Frampton and his band
performing live—while a third section featured the new composition by
Frampton and Kennedy.
Of the project Frampton notes, "Writing for dance was a wonderfully
freeing experience. There were no boundaries. We were able to push the
composing envelope," and Kennedy furthers, "Songwriters and musicians
create music to move people. This was beautiful, graceful, and
instantly gratifying!"
