Police guitarist Andy Summers has opened up about his new solo release. The new album dropped earlier this week and is titled Triboluminescence. It comes along with a preview of his new documentary Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police. “Triboluminescence is actually a scientific word that means creating light from dark, which I believe is a great metaphor for any creative act – and, especially, music,” Summers says. “I felt compelled to follow up the record I made last year, Metal Dog, where I was trying to go into a new territory – with not just a straight-ahead jazz or jazz fusion or rock or pop, but something very much my own genre. This record results from a lifetime’s worth of receiving influence, digesting it, and trying to create a new voice. I feel like I’m taking the Metal Dog album and moving on from there and trying to expand the writing, the tonal palette and this idea that I have about creating new music.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com.
