Feel free to read the headline a few times and let it sink in… Devin Townsend is writing a symphony! In a recent interview with KaaosTV, he stated the following points.
“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. My plan is to make something that is massive in scope, but is not bombast totally."
