Edison's Children

Edison's Children is a science fiction-oriented progressive rock trio known for writing "epic concept albums" with supernatural, apocalyptic and extra-terrestrialthemes. It features Rick Armstrong (the son of astronaut Neil Armstrong), Pete Trewavas (Marillion, Transatlantic) and Eric Blackwood (on-set special FX artist for over 150 Major Motion Pictures & Television Shows who performed as a musician for Sunblister & Blackwood and Foti). Their CDs include visual accompaniments in the form of 20 page "lyrics and images" insert booklets by photographer Wendy Darling Blackwood.

Edison's Children's music is a blend of neo-prog and industrial rock, drawing progressive influences from Pink Floyd, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Genesis, and Rush and combining them with the sub-bass style of music by bands like Tool, Deftones, The Cure, Chevelle, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, due to Blackwood's work as a 5-string (Low-B) bassist with NYC's hard industrial alt-rockers Sunblister (1998-2005). With Trewavas' experiences with Marillion and Transatlantic, Rick Armstrong's influences serving on panels about space and the universe, and Blackwood's history in Hollywood and appreciation for the modern darker scoring of Max Richter, Clint Mansell and Carter Burwell, Edison's Children combined influences to create "epic concept albums" based on extraterrestrial, supernatural, and apocalyptical themes, many of which Blackwood claims to have "personally experienced" in his life.

The trio of Trewavas, Blackwood and Armstrong share lead, rhythm and synth guitar duty, symphonic programming and bass. Eric Blackwood is the main lead vocalist with Pete Trewavas also taking on about 20% of the lead singing duties. Drums are shared by Henry Rogers (who played in Touchstone, Mostly Autumn and DeeExpus) and Lisa Wetton, the wife of late Asia and King Crimson singer John Wetton. Iluvatar's Chris Mack and Marillion's Ian Mosley have appeared in guest spots. Any electronic or programmed drum tracks are written and performed by Pete Trewavas.

    Edison's Children - The Disturbance Fields

    Edison's Children - The Disturbance Fields

    The Disturbance Fields are the physical manifestations that mother nature's fury can take against the human race due to our mistreatment of the oceans, rainforests and overdevelopment of urban landmasses. This has resulted in dramatic climatic changes in the temperatures of the earth and the sea and is the cause of far stronger and more violent storms and destructive natural events. The Disturbance Fields features just one song... a 68 minute epic piece of music called “Washed Away” that takes you on a journey of a man fighting all of the forces of Mother Nature' wrath. Slightly diacounted because of some small blemishes during transport....

    Edison's Children - Somewhere Between Here And There

    The 3rd album from Edison’s Children. These are not your typical dark and haunting Edison's Children tracks. In fact, they have been unable to find a home on any of the other albums, past or future. This album was intended to be a bridge between “The Final Breath Before November” and what would eventually become “The Disturbance Fields”. The latter album just took a bit longer than expected.

    Edison's Children - The FInal Breath Before November

    “The Final Breath Before November” is the haunting and ethereal follow up to their best-seller “In The Last Waking Moments”, which spawned a quirky Top-40 rock hit. I used to think I knew everything. Now, I know for certain, there's so much I will never truly understand. Looking back through my “Haunted Memories” I sometimes wonder, what do I do with all these dark & sometimes unexplainable circumstances of which no laws of physics could possibly be applied? Well, that's easy... We write a concept album about them! “The Final Breath Before November” is actually a very true story. I know you won't believe any of it because well... I still doubt it all myself. But, the fact is, it really happened & it happened to me. So, sit back in a darkened candle-lit room, put on your best headphones & let me tell you a little ghost story that isn't really a "story" at all. -- Eric Blackwood
