## The Album's Message and Vision
Guitar virtuoso Steve Hackett released 'The Night Siren' on 24th March 2017 via InsideOut Music (Sony). The album is a wake-up call, symbolizing the warning in our era of strife. It showcases Steve's amazing guitar skills, featuring regular collaborators and musicians from various countries. Musicians from Israel and Palestine, who work for unity between Jewish and Arabic people, are part of this project. Sounds from the USA, Iraq, and a blend of exotic instruments like Indian sitar, Middle Eastern tar and oud, Peruvian charango, and Celtic Uilleann pipes are also included. Steve, a globetrotter, uses this album to express his belief in the need for empathy and unity.
## Musical Journey
The album takes listeners on a journey from 'Behind the Smoke' (about refugee plights) to 'West to East' (reflecting on war and hope). Themes range from personal to universal, celebrating life and breaking free from repression.
