5 down… 1 to go…

Did you guys survive the holidays? Have you been celebrating Christ and spread His eternal love? What a shame if so.

Me? I have been doing everything in my power to summon utter darkness and blasphemy in the shape of orchestrations, meaning song number 5 is now completed for this first phase of symphonic elements. Only 1 more song to do before it’s time to go thru everything a couple of hundred times to see what can be added/removed/enhanced etc…

I wanna thank the masters over at Toontrack for their amazing software as well as Native Instruments‘ dito, not to mention the Symphobia heroes and all the rest whose stuff I have been so lucky to be able to use, means helping me to construct this mammoth. Now it’s time for a break and then start the orchestral work for the 6th and final track whenever the time is right.

It’s shaping up, piece by piece, and it sounds absolutely crushing. Maybe one of these days you might get a teaser. Then again – probably not anytime soon, nope…

We end 2013 on another high note…

While you guys are preparing to celebrate New Year’s Eve I am celebrating the completion of the first round of strings for song number 4. After getting some 14 tracks of string orchestrations for this one I consider it to be pretty much wrapped up. This means there’s 4 down and 2 more to go before I move into the next phase of building this beast. I have told you earlier that I have never worked so hard on anything before as I do with this new material, the same goes for all the orchestras. To see layer after layer building the vision is amazing and there is zero doubt that this one will be something out of the ordinary yet again, and without a doubt it’ll be the grandest thing TPH‘s ever done.

As mentioned before I plan on spending the better part of 2014 on this album, maybe it’ll be completed during the coming year even – that remains to be seen. But if things continue to move forward as they have so far – we are advancing at rapid speed. Also as told, I have so many ideas for this. At the moment I won’t reveal anything, you’ll just have to wait and see what happens with it all as we go along.

I will keep you informed every now and then when something of importance is achieved, but for now I’ll go back to this blasphemous creation coz I have devilry to attend to.

And it continues…

Take all the info that I gave you in this post and apply it to today’s update, with the only difference the title should say “3 down, 3 to go…” now.

Huge progress is being made, obviously.

2 down, 4 to go…

Yes, the orchestra/strings work is now more or less completed for the second tune out of the planned 6. Have in mind, this is but the first session with these things. I will go over everything at least once more (aka a bunch of times) when I consider this first stage of strings and orchestras completed. This is definitely the one time were I have worked the hardest on this stuff, and I have always worked hard with it. This time, though, this is different – just like everything else when it comes to pushing myself for this next album.

I have gotten a few mails from people about when I will fire up The Experiment 2 so you guys can donate and make this recording happen. My answer is: you will notice when the time comes. If you hang around our forums, our Facebook page or the official site – you will not miss out on the information.

Now I’ll spend the next few weeks or so with the orchestra arrangements for the third tune, and you guys will be updated on the process when there’s something to report.

Enjoy the holidays, if you dig that kind of stuff.

Exactly one year ago today…

EXACTLY one year ago to this date (12/12/12) the Haters were given “The Cadaverous Retaliation Agenda”. This masterpiece came alive thanks to the ones who supported The Experiment.

Judas eventually leaked it and Judas will suffer for it, but it doesn’t take away the fact that “TCRA” is a testimony of everything that is TPH.

I thank you, the loyal Haters and the people who work with me, for bringing my audio vision into this world. You Haters did it again recently by making it transform into a hand-numbered, limited edition digipak. That was the crowning of it all.

All of this makes me push myself harder and harder to create something that will go beyond everything we have ever done before. And when I listen to the material I am working with, this is exactly what will happen. “TCRA” and you people are the sole reason for it.

Keep an eye out for the start of The TPH Donation Experiment 2 next year – the agenda needed to make the next album a reality.

Time will tell if it will work a second time…

I salute you and I thank you.
