Fluxedo Junction and
Mi5 Recordings have announced plans to unveil a rock musical titled
"Diminishing Perspective". The piece, originally written as a
screenplay in 1967 and only recently rediscovered, is a rock musical featuring
lyrics by Barry Dennen and music by Murray Head.
Diminishing Perspective
was unearthed last year when Fluxedo Junction began working with actor Barry
Dennen - known to many for his performance as Pontious Pilate in Andrew Lloyd
Webber's and Tim Rice's classic Jesus Christ Superstar. "I was
having lunch with (Fluxedo Junction founder) Scott Kuchler one day, and I
happened to mention this project that I had begun over 30 years ago. It was
abandoned right after Murray and I signed on to do "Superstar." When
Scott asked if it still existed in any format, I dug into my archives and found
not only the screenplay, but also the original demos that we recorded for the
project - 8 songs in all with Murray singing and accompanying himself on
acoustic guitar."
In addition to planning a stage adaptation for 2003, work is also underway to
release a CD of all 8 songs, with the possibility of new material being written
and recorded as well.
