Marcel explains…
With a few recording projects unable to proceed I started to work on my own ideas for an instrumental album. The name Telecaster Diaries came from the concept of writing a musical idea every day, an actual musical diary. I would focus on a thought from the day and try to express it in a musical form. I limited myself to creating these ideas with “Pendlebury” which is the name of my telecaster guitar. I would just sit and play and when I was happy with where it was heading I would immediately start recording, adding bass, organ and percussion to flesh it out. This process was pretty spontaneous and I was usually able to get it all done over the course of an evening. At that point I was super lucky to have my great friend and collaborator Tim Harvey and his partner, drummer Maria Moles on standby to record the drum parts at their home studio in Collingwood. Every time I finished an idea I would send it off to them and a day or so later it would come back with the most incredible drum performances. Maria and Tim knew exactly what to do and they made the whole thing magic. Fast forward to now and I’ve formed a band to play the songs live. The “TD” band is Andy Pap on bass, Al Barden on drums and Peter (sweet) Carolane on the organ and percussion.
