Devin Townsend Writing A Symphony


. (TeamRock Radio) Devin Townsend's next project will be a symphony, he's announced. He previously revealed he was planning on moving away from his alien creation Ziltoid, after earlier hinting at a work to be entitled Garden Music.

Now Townsend tells Kaaos TV: "I'm writing a symphony, and I'm going to record it in Belgium in Surround Sound with a visual counterpart. It's going to have a lot of instruments that are not typical for orchestral stuff - a combination of everything.

"I want to have something that goes between the extremes of beautiful to total chaos, like hellish apocalypse. I'd like to have a point to it that isn't a story - to do with human things, emotions that I currently struggle with because I don't find myself emotionally very intelligent."

He says much of the inspiration has come from "things in my life that forced me to learn" and adds: "My plan is to make something that is massive in scope, but is not bombast totally." Read more and watch the full interview here.
