Yes' Jon Anderson Creates on Apple Web Site
Apple just launched a brand new project on its Creative Professional web site with legendary recording artist, Jon Anderson, of super-group, Yes. Jon is working on a new solo album due for release in the October/November timeframe of this year.
Between now and then, Jon will share everything involved with putting this project together and bringing it to fruition on Apple's web site. Apple will be providing a detailed, behind-the-scenes look at how Jon uses the equipment, how the recording is actually performed, how production is accomplished, and much more, culminating in the release of the album. And each month you will be able hear snippets of Jon’s new songs, from their very raw stages, through to polished, professional recordings.
This is a very exciting project, especially since no one has ever done anything like it before according to Apple. And, as far as we know, it's the first time a major recording artist has agreed to publicly expose the creation of an album as it was happening.
