DEEP PURPLE are setting sails into new waters with their first ever animated video.

The official video for “The Surprising”, one of the fan favourites from the international success “inFinite”, takes the viewer on a journey through the magical fifty year history of the band. With high attention to detail, the animated masterpiece follows the five heroes of our story – Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover, Don Airey and Steve Morse – through a stormy ship cruise full of allusions and sees them riding off into the sunset.

DEEP PURPLE’s “Smoke on the Water” Stored In DNA For UNESCO’s Memory Of The World Archive

Tech 2 has reported that the DEEP PURPLE‘s classic “Smoke On The Water” has been stored on DNA for UNESCO’s Memory of the World Archive:

In the first instance of the use of DNA as a long term archival quality storage medium, Twist Bioscience and Microsoft have saved historic performances of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water and Miles Davis’ Tutu on DNA. The performances were taken from audio recordings saved in the archives of the Montreux Jazz Festival. The audio recordings have been stored in DNA for UNESCO’s Memory of the World Archive.

Bill Peck, chief technology officer of Twist Bioscience says, “This is a very exciting project: we are now in an age where we can use the remarkable efficiencies of nature to archive master copies of our cultural heritage in DNA. As we develop the economies of this process new performances can be added any time. Unlike current storage technologies, nature’s media will not change and will remain readable through time. There will be no new technology to replace DNA, nature has already optimized the format.”

DNA is made up of four nucleotide bases, adenine, cytosin, guanine and thymine, commonly referred to as A, C, G and T. To store the data, the researchers converted the binary file consisting of a series of 0s and 1s into sequences based on A, C, G and T. In this proof-of-principle project, 00 represents A, 10 represents C, 01 represents G and 11 represents T.

DNA is nature’s preferred storage medium, and the recordings stored in the DNA molecules can be stable for millenia, and offers data density beyond what is available in conventional data centers. It is also easy to copy the files stored in this format. The entire six petabyte archive of the Montreux Jazz Festival can be saved in DNA in less space than that occupied by a grain of rice.

In March this year, researchers from Columbia University and the New York Genome Center (NYGC) demonstrated the storage of an entire OS, a French film, an Amazon gift card, a Pioneer plaque and a 1948 study by information theorist Claude Shannon in DNA.

DEEP PURPLE to Release New Studio Album “Infinite” in April, Lyric Video for First Song “Time For Bedlam” Available

DEEP PURPLE have revealed title, release date and first song from their new album “InFinite”, the highly anticipated follow up to their most recent worldwide chart topping album “NOW What?!”.

“InFinite” will be released on April 7th by earMUSIC.
“Time For Bedlam”, an up-tempo classic Deep Purple song, has just been made available via a lyric video:

The song will be available as instant grat as part of the digital album preorder as well as on all streaming platforms starting from Thursday, December 15th, midnight worldwide with the physical preorder of the album to start at the same time.

A limited edition EP for “Time For Bedlam”, with non-album songs and unreleased recordings will hit the shops on February 3rd.

A documentary movie, witnessing the songwriting process and the recording of the album with producer Bob Ezrin, has been produced, allowing for the first time for the fans to be part of the private band member interactions in the studio.
The movie will be included in some editions of the album and it will be presented before release in various fan events worldwide.

Deep Purple have recently announced their “Long Goodbye Tour”, which will bring the legendary live show once again all over the world.

Deep Purple have not yet answered, in fact, the many questions received by fans from all over the world who are speculating about the meaning of the title “inFinite” and “Long Goodbye”.

Singer Ian Gillan has in fact declared:

“If you take it literally you may, quite reasonably, think the ‘Finite’ part of the word describes the life of Deep Purple, with a clear beginning and a nebulous end; but what of the ‘in’ bit? The word infinite is a three-dimensional double edged sword. It describes something that goes on forever in all directions; not unlike its temporal equivalent ‘Eternal’ What’s that all about?

Stephen Hawking declared (in ‘A brief History of Time’) that, before the Big Bang there was nothing. That would put the kybosh on the idea of our universe being Infinite, as he provides a starting point, which is not acceptable to the concept. So, Hawking’s universe in ‘Finite’; by definition; whether he agrees or not.

Ironically, he is quite wrong (scientists always are eventually), therefore the Universe is infinite, which means it will never end, and also means that it never started, and the corollary to that of course is that we don’t exist.

There is a metaphysical solution to all this, but it will have to wait until the tour is over because (thanks heavens) there are only 24 hours in a day (for the time being) or 10 hours in a metric day.
More on that later…”

NOW What?! has charted at #1 in 5 European countries.
NOW What?! has charted in the Top 10 in over 15 countries worldwide.
NOW What?! has gained Gold Status in Germany for over 100.000 copies sold.

The two video releases “From the Setting Sun… (In Wacken)” and “…To the Rising Sun (In Tokyo)”, released on the same day, charted at #1 and #2 in the UK on the same week in the Music Video Charts, witnessing the success of the NOW What?! tour.

DEEP PURPLE: Recent Show Cancellations Due To Drummer IAN PAICE Suffering “Mini-Stroke”

DEEP PURPLE have been forced to cancel two shows in Sweden this week. The band were scheduled to perform on June 14th at Gröna Lund in Stockholm, and on June 15th at Liseberg in Gothenburg, reported Bravewords.com. The cancellations were blamed on “health issues” and now drummer Ian Paice has spoken up via Facebook:

“To all the people who were expecting to see Deep Purple in Sweden and Denmark this week, I would like to let you know the reason the shows were not possible,and also to stop all the speculation and rumours.

On the morning of the 14th of June, I woke up to find that the right side of my body was feeling numb and I could not control my right hand and fingers. So I had myself admitted to hospital where I was diagnosed with having suffered a ‘mini-stroke’ or TIA. The hospital staff in Stockholm were amazing and started my treatment straight away.

After both CT and MIR scans, there was found to be no serious or permanent damage. As of this moment, all I am suffering is a slightly numb right side of the face a tingling sensation in my right hand. My dexterity in the hand is coming back quickly and I fully expect to recommence touring next month. So now I have a set of tablets which have to be taken every day to ensure it doesn’t happen again!.

So sorry for not being able to play for you. And I’m sorry for myself! These are the first shows I have missed with Deep Purple since its formation in 1968.

Thanks to all the people who have shown concern and sent their best wishes.”

Ian Paice
