Recently we were joking around that Devin Townsend was coming out with a symphonic work featuring an air conditioning unit, which is unfortunately not true. We do know that the man was writing a symphony at one point, a symphony that will be coming to fruition sometime in 2016! Or at the very least Townsend will be figuring everything out in 2016, so we might have to wait until 2017 to hear anything- I guess we'll see as things progress.
Proud to say I've finished the outline for the symphony. Massive 'life work' type shit. Surround sound, sprawling…

Orchestrator gets to Vancouver in January for 2 months to score it with me. Recording happens over a year or so

Oh, and then there's a new Devin Townsend Project record coming as well!
I've written a dtp record during this last year that will probably come out first though. Next step from Sky Blue kind of deal…

The way that's worded also makes it sound like we'll be hearing that in 2016, which is fine! Townsend is clearly capable of writing awesome material, so whenever it's out we'll all throw our money at it.
