Bryan Beller - Scenes From The Flood (2CD) What do we keep, and what do we let go?Bassist/composer Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani, Dethklok, Steve Vai) presents a sweeping, epic-scale modern progressive double concept album that asks the question: When the storm comes for us, the big one after which things will not be the same, who are we and what do we become in those defining moments? Scenes From The Flood explores themes of ambition and loss, intentionality and reality, hope and disillusionment, and uses every second of its 18-song, 88-minute running order to tell an emotionally consuming and unforgettable musical story.Featuring an all-star cast of 26 musicians including (in alphabetical order): GUITAR:Joe Satriani (Joe Satriani!)John Petrucci (Dream Theater)Guthrie Govan (The Aristocrats, Hans Zimmer, Steven Wilson)Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, solo artist)Mike Dawes (solo artist)Janet Feder (solo artist, Fred Frith)Nili Brosh (Michael Jackson ONE, Tony MacAlpine, solo artist)Darran Charles (Godsticks, The Pineapple Thief)Jamie Kime (Zappa Plays Zappa, Jewel, Dr. John)Teddy Kumpel (Joe Jackson, solo artist)Jake Howsam Lowe (Plini, The Helix Nebula)Rick Musallam (Mike Keneally, Ben Taylor)Mike Olekshy (Max Morgan, Alison Ray)Griff Peters (Mike Keneally, Billie Myers) DRUMS:Ray Hearne (Haken)Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Death)Nate Morton (Cher, The Voice, American Idol house band)Joe Travers (Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Zappa Plays Zappa) KEYS, STRINGS, ACCORDION, SITAR, PERCUSSION, AND MORE:Christopher Allis (Deana Carter, Denny Laine)Paul Cartwright (Portugal The Man, Cee Lo Green, Mary J.
