BRITISH KEYBOARDIST-SINGER-SONGWRITER

FOR

PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND

'T H E    T A N G E N T'

 

The Tangent is a Progressive Rock Band from Northern England, based around keyboards player, composer and idiosyncratic vocalist Andy Tillison Diskdrive.

Their music is cinematic and lyrical, full of narrative, often telling stories or making observations about the world we live in - often choosing subject matter more associated with Anarcho-Punk bands than with the genre in which the band choose to base themselves. "No Hobbits or Orcs in our songs" The band have released a steady output of well-regarded albums through their record label Inside Out Music.

The band has changed personnel many times and has used this fluidity to keep ideas fresh and lucid. The debut album released in 2003 The Music that Died Alone was often referred to as a "supergroup" project, though Tillison has always eschewed this title, preferring to go for the less obvious "a good idea".

In twelve years, the group has had close affiliations with Swedish progressive legends The Flower Kings, and Jonas Reingold (bass) from that band remains in the Tangent to this day despite the departure of Roine Stolt from the Tangent ten years ago now. David Jackson (Van Der Graaf Generator) was heavily featured on that debut album, Jakko Jakszyk (now of King Crimson) has been a frequent collaborator along with Theo Travis (Steven Wilson Band, Soft Machine Legacy, Gong etc.). Guy Manning, Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), David Longdon (Big Big Train) have all played key roles in the band's development and the band was instrumental in bringing the talents of the astonishing young guitarist Luke Machin (Maschine) to the world for the first time.

Tangent philosophy has been to embrace other more contemporary bands. Whether overtly progressive themselves (Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Argos, Magenta etc.) or completely away from the official boundaries of the genre into metal, Jazz, modern pop, soul, disco and film music, the Tangent do not follow the prog rock rule book.

"It's more what we don't do that sets us apart" Tillison said in a 2007 interview... "we've always avoided doing the 12 string acoustic stuff, and in fact anything that gets too Genesissy or Floyd-like usually (not always) gets binned.. that's not to say that there aren't influences.. just that we don't like the idea of being confined to the styles of those particular figureheads. The spirit of progressive rock music was carried by lots more people than Genesis. I think that too many of us (new bands) use the obvious source - i.e. the 70s bands and forget to look around us and see what our contemporaries are up to!"

Over the years the band has had many manifestos, all of which are still relevant to the future of the Tangent..

Andy Tillerson’s progressive bands have been "A New Opera" 1978 - 1986, "Gold Frankincense & Diskdrive" 1987 - 1995, Po90 (Parallel Or 90 Degrees) 1996 - 2010 and The Tangent 2002 - the present. With over 20 albums released out there - Andy has been one of the most committed and unrelenting advocates of Progressive Music through its darkest days.

CHAOS TO CLARITY: SACRED STORIES OF

TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE

BY REV. PATRICIA CAGGANELLO & KATHLEEN O’KEEFE-KANAVOS

FOREWORD BY DR. BERNIE SIEGEL (NY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR)

Pain doesn’t have to define us; it can instead transform us.

Real people. Real pain. Real hopelessness. Real healing. A global voice of authors bare their souls.

Welcome to the heart of our shared humanity. Offering their expertise in spirituality and psychology authors Cagganello and Kanavos share

personal challenges of change; divorce and death, and those of thirty men and women from around the world who faced change head-on.

Through their adversity, learn how they became stronger and happier and went on to inspire and help others.

Topics of Change: Battling a life-threatening illness. Surviving an abusive relationship. Overcoming

addiction. Suffering the heartbreaking loss of a child. Wrestling with self-sabotaging thoughts. Losing and

finding love. The painful death of a parent... and more!

“This outstanding book contains everything a reader could want: emotionally gripping,

encouraging, hope-filled, powerful writing, engaging personal stories...so much packed into

it. Pain is part of the human experience that we can all relate to. But finding hope and

healing through the pain—that is a precious gem that this book uncovers. A must-read!”

– Pamela Cangioli, literary reviewer and editor

Kathleen offers these 3 Key Discussion Points from a Psychological Perspective

1. Metathesiophobia is fear of change and evolutionary in humans. We crave routine.

2. The Butterfly Effect of change is part of Universal Oneness.

3. Change is good for us. It can be a coming-of-age situation that allows for growth.

Patricia offers these 3 Key Discussion Points from a Spiritual Perspective

1. How change is a catalyst for spiritual transformation.

2. Why the deep emotion triggered by significant change is a gift.

3. It's time to change the paradigm of spiritual transformation through trauma, to one of joy.

Guest Biography:

As a personal trainer for over 20 years and battling MS for over 13 years, I bring a deep knowledge of functional, corrective & adaptive training specific to the MS and chronically conditioned community. In 2008 when I received my MS diagnosis and weighed close to 300lbs, I decided to focus on nutrition and exercise to fight the disease after I was hospitalized for 2 weeks. After one year and over 117lbs later, I realized that with proper nutrition and correct exercise methods, you can and will get stronger and healthier while fighting MS.

I'm now a Master Trainer and Co-Owner of Thrive Fitness Studio in Warren, Rhode Island alongside Lauren Smith, who also battles MS and is a Barre Instructor and Personal Trainer. We continue to help those with MS, Cerebral Palsy and other chronic conditions while providing hands on training to other certified trainers to help them better understand how to use appropriate training methods.

Utilizing my multiple certifications and education through AFAA, ACSM, ACE, NASM and NFPT, I have developed many exercise and nutrition strategies to help my clients over the years and I look forward to a continued future with Lauren by my side, training those who are chronically conditioned.
