Incredible. A Kiwi keyboardist/songwriter/producer teams up with several musician/singer/co-writers from around the world...and they never meet! They all send their tracks from their home countries via email. The result is an exciting, varied set of easy listening, contemporary, melodic pop rock, with an obvious international flavour. Ian Rushton is "New Zealand's answer to Richard Clayderman" - a UK-born, self-taught pianist and guitarist. 'The Cybase Project' is his third album since 2002. Rushton never gets in the way of the international soloists; instead preferring to colour the tracks with celestial light. German Wolfgang Menzel is the vocalist/collaborator on most of the album, and he brings an almost Axl Rose quality to the tracks. Contributions come from countries as varied as USA, Canada, Sweden and China! Technology has come so far that you can create an international album without leaving your bedroom.
