Blue Man Group present their third studio album, THREE, on April 22, 2016, featuring 14 new instrumental tracks.
One of many exciting new projects in 2016, Blue Man Group's THREE will be available from Rhino on CD, as well as digitally. Giacometti, the first single from the new album, is available now as an instant download when pre-ordering THREE from participating digital retailers or can be purchased separately. A dynamic new video for the song, featuring the latest Blue Man Group instruments and technology can be viewed at Blue Man Group's YouTube channel.
THREE is a modern snapshot, capturing a moment in the constantly expanding world of the Blue Man Group. Building upon their previous studio albums, including the gold-certified, Grammy-nominated Audio (1999), and sophomore concept album The Complex (2003), THREE draws inspiration from 25 years of creative growth and development.
The instrumental music features exciting sonic explorations from a wide array of newly developed instruments including the Snorkelbone, a creation that utilizes a plastic hose to produce a whirring, pulsating tone when swung in the air; a PVC pipe take on the traditionally wooden aboriginal instrument, the Didgeridoo; and the Chimeulum, which is best described as orchestral chimes on steroids ; and many more.
