"RSP" (Richard Preske) currently lives in Las Vegas, NV and is pursuing his music career as a solo act. His overall goal is to become a professional songwriter/artist on the West Coast. However, Rich began his musical career with close friend, Michael Scarlett and formed their own band called "Aspiration". Here's a little musical history on RSP:
"Aspiration" is Richard Preske (singer, songwriter, guitarist), Michael Scarlett (songwriter, guitarist, backup singer) and guest appearances by Kim Jurek (singer). The group originated in college when Mike and Rich met in 1990. A unique musical connection existed between the two guitarists right from the start. "Together Forever", a pop ballad, was their first attempt at songwriting. Mike and Rich's love for music, support from friends and family and a favorable acceptance from the local college community convinced the duo to pursue more songwriting ventures.
In 1995, a rock song written by Rich called "One More Chance" was recorded at Honeybear Studios, in Erie, PA. Mike added a cool lead part and played bass, while Rich decided to sing and play rhythm guitar. Recording was so exciting and, at this point, the duo decided to make plans for recording an entire album.
"Aspiration's" first CD, Resonance, was completed in late 1996. The CD contains a total of 9 songs consisting of various styles of music, including pop ballads, rock, dance/euro-techno, instrumental and inspirational. In general, the music combines Mike and Rich's acoustical/electric guitar talents and showcases their ability to write different types of music. In addition, Rich brings an emotional connection between him and the listener through his singing.
In the spring of 1997, the duo performed for the first time at Barnes and Nobles bookstore in Erie, PA. An acoustic set was used and songs from their CD Resonance, along with a few cover tunes, were played. Their love for performing continued to grow and the duo began to play around the local cafés.
Mike and Rich met Kim Jurek in the summer of 1997. A powerful, yet sensitive female singer, Kim added the right touch to Aspiration's acoustic sound. The former duo, now a trio, continued to play in various bars and cafés throughout Erie, PA. The band's popularity continued to grow and recently played at big name local bar, Goofies. In addition, "Aspiration" was the featured artist on the local radio station Rocket 101.
"Subtle Impact" Plan Summary...
"RSP" (Richard Preske) has recorded 11 more songs for the new CD titled "Subtle Impact". Unlike "Resonance", the new CD is completely Rich's own material (except for "Trust in Your Heart" and "Am I Asking for Too Much") and includes more instruments and intensified singing on each track.
"Trust in Your Heart" and "Am I Asking for Too Much" are the first two completed songs for the new CD. "Trust in Your Heart" introduces a female lead singer to a well-crafted love song and "Am I Asking for Too Much" uses some unique guitar effects and moving lead vocals by Rich.
The title track, "Subtle Impact", is an upbeat rock instrumental with three different guitar tracks, solid drum beat and straight forward bass line. The song will incorporate all of Rich's developed techniques in guitar playing, arranging and songwriting flavored with pieces of improvisation.
The remaining songs are a mix of romantic ballads and one emotional track "Fight for Our Freedom" based on the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001.
The CD will be available in June 2006 for sell.
