New Releases
Left Orbit Temple has two new projects in the works.
Because of an unintended haitus after the initial release of Prolusion (the re-launch of Prolusion is happening right now), a little bit of a backlog of material has been building up.
The second Left Orbit Temple release will follow the same format as Prolusion, with about 50 to 60 minutes of music, and 10 to 12 artists on the EnhancedCD portion of the disc. We'll also be releasein the music only (without the multimedia gallery compnent) for MP3 download.
Everything about the new project is ramped up two notches: the quality of the presentation of the art and the user interface, the quality of the music production, and the packaging are all being taken to the next level. The musical concepts and themes have been refined and tightened up - it is to be the most challenging and cohesive work to date.
The music is going well:
James has created statrting points for 8 new songs.
There will also be a re-working of an older song, and the traditional cover song (TBA).
Erin Mosher has laid down her vocal tracks, and they sound great.
Her voice has come a long way in the short time since the release of Prolusion, and these new tracks are stunning.
Derek Geisser is so busy with his art gallery, his fashion design, and his own music that it's bee hard to pull him into the studio to do his vocal tracks. We expect this to finally happen in the coming weeks.
After that, an army of guest musicians will come in to fill in the remaining spaces.
We have contacted many artists about making their contributions, and are always looking for more.
We expect LOT II (title TBA) to be released in late 2004.
The other project is a little bit of a departure from the standard Left Orbit Temple format.
James has been keeping journals from his exhasutive road trips and concert tours for 13 years now.
"The Spaces Between" will consist of spoken word performances by James (as opposed to the usual singing from Derek and Erin on the other LOT releases) over ambient soundscapes, all conjuring images of the dark little corners of North America not normally seen by the casual traveller.
It is to be determined whether or not this release will contain the usual art gallery on the Enhanced CD portion; it is likely though.
