Peter Gabriel by Michele Turriani
Peter Gabriel has been working with long-time collaborators Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Manu Katché.
Peter Gabriel has shared the first song from his forthcoming new album ‘i/o’, recorded at Real World Studios in Wiltshire and The Beehive in London.
“The first song is based on an idea I have been working on to initiate the creation of an infinitely expandable accessible data globe: The Panopticom,” Gabriel said.
“We are beginning to connect a like-minded group of people who might be able to bring this to life, to allow the world to see itself better and understand more of what’s really going on.”
“Some of what I’m writing about this time is the idea that we seem incredibly capable of destroying the planet that gave us birth and that unless we find ways to reconnect ourselves to nature and to the natural world we are going to lose a lot. A simple way of thinking about where we fit in to all of this is looking up at the sky… and the moon has always drawn me to it.”
The new album is set to be accompanied by the Genesis man’s first European tour in over a decade during the spring.
