THE WEAVER'S CHECKMATE
This track is a chess game with oneself in which the notes are unexpected moves. The light introduction is the opening, with the arrival of the drums the first pawns are exchanged before arriving at the explosion of the refrain where the King is put in checkmate. At that point the breaks that represent the stalemate begin, the moves are no longer trivial and obvious. The solo gives way to the right insight that will lead to Checkmate in the last refrain. I was a good chess player as a kid and I remember really liking "The Barber's Checkmate..." I am not a barber, I also have very little hair, but I am a "Weaver"; hence the title "The Weaver's Checkmate." DRUMS: atma anur BASS: Lorenzo Beverati Arranged, composed and produced by Emiliano Tessitore Mix and Master: Giacomo Pasquali "Hologram Studio" Video: Born Brothers Recorded at "The Barber Shop Speakeasy" Rome Published by: Wanikiya Records |

Emiliano Tessitore, based in Rome, has played with many legendary musicians including Vinnie Moore, Uli Jon Roth, Mark Boals and Kee Marcello, to name a few. |

SHUMAUN Memories & Intuition - CD release, Aug 2021
Shumaun – Memories & Intuition brain-child and third album from singer/guitar player Farhad Hossain, and his band.
https://www.facebook.com/shumaun
This latest 12-song CD is slated for an August 2021 release, and is the most melodic to date. The CD features the amazing drumming of progressive music legends Thomas Lang (Paul Gilbert), Atma Anur (Jason Becker, Tony MacAlpine), Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Warlord), and Leo Margarit (Pain of Salvation). The band tapped Brett Caldas-Lima at Tower Studio (France) for mixing and mastering.
https://towerstudio.net
“Atma Anur was one of the first drummers I got into back in the day. His drumming on Tony MacAlpine’s MAXIMUM SECURITY and MASTER OF PARADISE CDs was so unique and groovy that I was immediately pulled in. Needless to say, it’s quite an honor to have him on two of the twelve tracks on this album,” says Farhad Hossain.
More clips and info coming!

Drum parts video for ALL ABOUT THE GROOVE
This is the full 7 minute drum parts video for my tribute to the Brecker Bros. with Ed DeGenaro, All About the Groove. Drums, bass and guitar transcriptions will be available soon, and the play-along "minus One" track is on its way.
More on ALL ABOUT THE GROOVE - a tribute to the Brecker Bros.
Here is a little more complete information about the 7th piece for our "re-arrangement medleys of well-known Jazz/Fusion/Funk/Progressive songs" album. Ed DeGenaro and I actually started this endeavor back in 2018 and have taken our time to be sure about each song we chose, and to make sure we kept it all musical and lovely.
This piece is called All About the Groove and is a tribute piece to, rather than a re-arrangement of, one of my all-time favourite artists, The Brecker Bros. Our 7-minute long piece contains 9 songs taken from 5 of their albums, that span from 1975 all the way to 1994. All of these records were greeted with huge acclaim and won many awards (aside from having influenced the playing and writing of countless musicians over these decades). These tracks also include some of the funkiest session drummers of our time.
The list of songs and their respective albums is as follows:
Sponge - The Brecker Bros. 1975/Heavy Metal BeBop 1978, (Harvey Mason '75/ Terry Bozzio '78)
Some Skunk Funk - The Brecker Bros. 1975/Heavy Metal BeBop 1978, (Harvey Mason '75/ Terry Bozzio '78)
Squish - Detente 1980, (Steve Jordan)
Above and Below - Return of the Brecker Bros. 1992, (Dennis Chambers)
Spherical - Return of the Brecker Bros. 1992, (Dennis Chambers)
African Skies - Out of the Loop 1994, (Rodney Holmes)
Secret Heart - Out of the Loop 1994, (Rodney Holmes)
Slang - Out of the Loop 1994, (Steve Jordan)
When it Was - Out of the Loop 1994 (drum programme)
A Minus-One play-a-long recording, and the drums and melodies transcription, will be available for purchase on my Learn page. This will also include the re-arranged medley of the songs as they appear on our recording, with an audio click and the transcription of instruments.

Finishing work on the 7th Medley/Rearrangement/Tribute piece with Ed DeGenaro
For the past couple of years Atma has been working on a very adventurous CD project with German guitarist/composer Ed DeGenaro. So far seven pieces have been completed, each piece contains sections of music from many well known songs (as many as 12!), in various music genres, written by various Jazz and Fusion artists.
Video is now being shot and live horns are being recorded for the latest piece ALL ABOUT THE GROOVE, a tribute to the BRECKER BROS.
Here's a tiny clip from this epic undertaking:

Here is the first production in this series of tracks from this very talented artist, Alex Carlin.
The iconic Jazz/Blues piece, Georgia on My Mind, has been recorded by many very well known artists over the years since its creation by the great Hoagy Charmicheal and Stuart Gorrell in 1930. The most famous of these recordings may be the Ray Charles version, but this poignant cover by Alex Carlin is both humorous and brilliant.
This lighthearted and inspirational track was created to help boost voter turnout for the 2020 Democratic Senate race in the U.S. state of Georgia... we hope it did help in this historic democratic win! Atma's production skills on full display here.

Tracking drums for the epic new CD release from Roy Marchbank
Scottish Guitarist/Composer Roy Marchbank has been compiling songs for his latest release for quite some time now. The pieces are very complex while maintaining a deep sense of melody and peace. With its multi-cultural rhythmic back bone, this CD presents itself as the perfect creative landscape for Atma Anur's very unique style of drumming.
Roy Marchbank, the virtuoso Celtic Fusion, Flamenco Jazz guitarist, is as comfortable on electric guitar as he is on classical acoustic guitar and has the chops and musicality to make both instruments sound authentic and exciting.
The new CD features Tommy Keane on Traditional Flute and Uilleann Pipes, Tommy Lockett on Bass and Atma Anur on Drums and Percussion.

"The secret behind the ToneRite® is its ability to continually produce and efficiently transfer vibrational energy into an instrument. ToneRite® safely recreates and magnifies the same physics that naturally occur while playing. This stimulation generates a change to the instrument's integrated components and increases the resonate together as a whole. Not only will your instrument sound better, but the notes themselves will come easier and allow for playing difficult passages with less fatigue. The ToneRite® will result in added volume with a fuller and more balanced sound."
