‘The Tourniquet Ark’ is a project of Tourniquet founding member and drummer Ted Kirkpatrick. A crowdfunding campaign was launched last year September. The goal of $ 7,000 has been reached, a total amount of $ 8,566 was pledged.

This is a full album project with vocals – human vocals this time! [Many of you know I did a solo album featuring authentic animal sounds for the “vocals”.] I plan to make the music all of you have come to expect from the main songwriter in Tourniquet since the beginning. Joining me will be a few fantastic guest musicians to add to the mix – on vocals and lead guitar – maybe even a Milwaukee symphony musician or two … I’m looking at probably eight brand new songs.The songs are pretty much written (in my head) – just need to get them recorded. It’s no secret by now that I love beautiful music and I love very heavy music – you will surely hear both in “Onward To Freedom”. My hope is that this is truly something you can feel good about being involved with.

*** Regarding “Onward To Freedom” – Lots of people asking “What will the music be like?” I plan for it to be a full heavy album with a biting lower guitar sound, more guitar harmonies, different guitar tones and sounds – with vocals. I’ve asked Luke if he will do a short guest vocal – the rest of the vocals will be a cool surprise… I plan on other guest lead guitar players including one from Aaron – it should be pretty cool – I hope you join me – thanks! Ted
