The evolution of T.A.P and ‘Paradigms’
This album saw its first track created in 2014 by Michael Jobborn with Mark Cook, which came
about after Michael helped out Gayle Ellett in 2012 with some promotion for his Djam Karet
band. Gayle then asked Michael to contact Mark to help him with promoting one of his Herd Of
Instinct releases. This went on for a couple of years, after which Michael had an idea to work
on a song with Mark. To his surprise, Mark agreed to this. The song sounded really good to
Michael which spurred him on to do more songs, perhaps even a full album.
By 2018 there were 4 pieces that feature on this first album, with another in the pipeline with
Michael. During 2019 Michael helped out Suzi James with the promotion of Fearful
Symmetry’s debut release, and decided to ask her if she would be up for working on this 5th
song of the album. She agreed, and although a start was made, the album had to be put on
hold due to Covid and life in general.
In 2022 Michael once again contacted Mark to help complete the album, and felt that “Suzi did
such an amazing job on the Silence From The Storm track” that he asked her to participate on
the rest of the album.
Michael then reached out to Gayle Ellett to see if he would be up for joining on the album. He
was more than happy to help out. Very quickly, Gayle sent in his contributions for the tracks.
Michael randomly came across Paul Sears in a chatroom for Progrock.com where he asked
Paul if he would be interested in adding drums to Silence From The Storm. After hearing the
song in its current form, he jumped on board and joined in for that track. Michael previously
learned about Paul’s great drumming through his friend Cyrille Verdeaux of Clearlight some
years previously, when he was helping Cyrille out with promotion.
As the album neared completion, Mark proposed a Herd Of Instinct mix of the Silence From
The Storm track, with Bill Bachman invited to add drums for this alternative version. The rest of
the band enthusiastically embraced the idea. The result is a slightly shorter punchier version
which the band agreed should be added as a bonus track.
Michael: “This is how the album came to be and is what it is today. A wonderful group of
progressive rock musicians joining together to create something unique. We hope to do a
follow-up album in the future, possibly adding a few guest musicians along the way. Hope you
all enjoy the album.”
