![]() We still have a band, it’s in sleeping mode for now. We were just in the process of knuckling down to record a fourth album, which was going to be a killer, when a heap of bad luck hit – the guitarist split, the economy tanked, we tried for quite a time to find a guitarist who was up to the job, without success, our drummer was struck down with MS-related paralysis, and then the pandemic shut down exterior life. Obviously this presented us with certain challenges, performing good but more or less unknown songs in English in a Turkish-speaking country accustomed to total over-saturation with rock cover-bands… However we never had any trouble getting gigs and were on an upward trajectory, but two of the guys in the band were pretty relentlessly negative, and that can only endure for so long. Unusually for this part of the world we had a policy of only playing original songs, no covers. We rehearsed hard, and got solidly slick and tight. That came together like magic, a chance encounter at a watering-hole in Taksim with an old friend resulted in the decision to form a band, not 20 minutes later we were serendipitously approached by a dude who introduced himself and said he’d found and dug my music and that he was a drummer, and with that, and the addition another friend at the time – who was a fine lead guitarist – we had the first incarnation of The Infinity Chamber band. This particular album carried my hitherto ramblin’ traveler songs from the first two solo albums into the realm of the rock band, and correspondingly, shortly thereafter I formed a four-man band with three Istanbul friends. The Infinity Chamber has evolved conceptually over the years, it began as a teenage fantasy mirror-cupboard designed for quality time with girlfriends, then years later, upon a whim, it was the chosen title for my third album, released 2016. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your band? It’s great to have you again here at LOMM. All questions answered by Dylan Paul Ware. ![]()
