Nový album Mira Žbirku Posledné veci za otca dokončil David Žbirka

Nový album Mira Žbirku – Posledné veci, ktorý uzatvára jeho viac ako päťdesiatročnú autorskú cestu vychádza práve dnes na CD vo vydavateľstve Universal Music. Je na ňom dvanásť nových autorských piesní Mira Žbirku, ktoré napísal v priebehu posledných dvoch rokov a naspieval krátko pred svojim odchodom. Štyri z nich sú zhudobnenými textami básnikov Joža Urbana, Václava Hrabě a Daniela Heviera.

Posledné veci

Krátka báseň Posledné veci z Hevierovej rannej zbierky poézie Vták pije z koľaje (1977), dala názov celému albumu. V rádiách z neho úspešne boduje duet otca so synom v skladbe Nejsi sám. David Žbirka bol Mekym poverený dokončením a produkciou albumu. Spolu s anglickým producentom Patrickom Jamesom Fitzroyom ho nahrali v londýnskom štúdiu KONK, ktoré sídli v londýnskej štvrti Musswell Hill, odkiaľ pochádzala Mekyho mama a patrí lídrovi Mekyho obľúbenej skupiny The Kinks, Rayovi Daviesovi. Na aranžovaní sa okrem Patricka s Davidom podieľali aj Oliver Torr (Posledné veci, Ríša snov) a Petr Marek zo skupiny MIDI LIDI (Len sa neuraz). V jednotlivých skladbách albumu sa objavujú aj ďalší hudobníci: Maximillian Kinghorn-Mills, Axel Øksby (basgitara), Tom Andrews (piano), Petr Marek (gitara), Oliver Torr (synths & programming), Steve Goddard (gitara), Jamie Hanson (basgitara), Honza Horáček (synth), Jamie Staples (bicie),

Sam Bedford (gitara) a sláčikový orchester sCore Orchestra s dirigentkou Michaelou Rózsa Růžičkovou, v aranžmánoch Daniela Wunscha a Patricka Jamesa Fitzroya. O mastering albumu sa v londýnskom Abbey Road postaral Christian Wright. Na obale albumu je fotka Mekyho priateľa a úspešného slovenského fotografa Petra Župníka, ktorú graficky spracoval Jiří Troskov.
