Seven-time Grammy Award Winning Mix Engineer Gustavo Celis recently wrapped up recording sessions with two of Rock’s greatest legends Roger Waters and Eric Clapton. The recording is for a project called ALAS and will benefit poor children in Latin America. It is a “We Are The World” type song written by Roger Waters (former singer of Pink Floyd) for the A.L.A.S foundation. The song is an epic, at the moment 15 minutes long and features great Latin American artists such as Gustavo Cerati and Pedro Aznar.
“Eric walked in with a borrowed guitar and knocked out the most amazing
Guitar solo you have heard. One take, first time listening to the song. That’s all
it takes for him. Pure genius. What at incredible honor and delight”
- Gustavo Celis
The new song is reminiscent of the great classic “Comfortably Numb” featured in the revolutionary 1980’s double album “The Wall”. The ALAS song will be released in the near future.
One take..... I have heard this before :-)
"Go Back Home" on Stephen Stills' self-titled album was a first take too..... and what a take that was!!!
Look forward to listening to this ALAS song!
