7 Songs by Luke Vassella

‘7 Songs’ is the second album Luke has released in 2020.
It's a personal collection of affirmations, prayers and interpretations of biblical psalms.
These are maintenance songs.
Songs of maintaining faith amid rapid societal changes, a deteriorating social fabric, a global pandemic, escalating climate disruption and the associated grief. This album includes interpretations and arrangements of ancient songs that acknowledge a hope that's been shared through the centuries. During its creation it had a seemingly ominous working title; ‘Australian Psalms For A Climate Apocalypse’, but a closer consideration of the meaning in the word apocalypse is instructive. It's a Greek word (ἀποκάλυψις) meaning “an unveiling or unfolding of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling.”

The 2 year recording process began in May 2018 in a pleasant, light filled art studio situated in the lush green hilled locality of Lindendale, Northern NSW. Later overdubs were added in the space cave, Luke’s home studio with the following guests; violins by Isaac Vincent, piano by David Vassella, nylon string guitar by Jeremy White.

Written, performed, recorded, mixed by Luke Vassella.

Luke is well known on the NSW North Coast and beyond as an inspirational performer.
