~ A Brief Introduction Into Travelling In Time ~
Well, TIME TRAVELLER’s 1st album is my first effort as a solo album – it is entirely composed / arranged / produced / recorded / mixed,
and for the most part, also played by me in my full-analog home ‘studio’ (read: an old Fostex 16 tracker, crappy mixer and few cheap echos.. ;0))
‘with a little help from my friends’ Esko ‘Zeko’ Takamäki, who played the drums and percussion instruments, Timo Ristilä, who played the
GREAT Moog solo on ‘Part One: The Pioneers’ and the violinist Sanna Ågren, who played the magnificient violin parts on ‘Part Seven: The Release’.
And of course, my good friend Pertti Hakala should also be mentioned, as he has been acting as an ‘assistant producer’ giving his valuable points of view
on the tunes (also the song titles are by him).
As being a long-term proghead, the album is naturally, accordingly to it’s genre, a concept album.. and yes, it IS about travelling in space & time :0) .
I’ve planned this production to be a trilogy - this first album consists on the first two Chapters (I & II), second album will consist on Chapters III & IV
and naturally the trilogy’s last album will consist on Chapters V & VI…………
oh btw, the contents on this first album are as follow:
CHAPTER I: THE JOURNEY
Launch
Part One: The Pioneers
Shifting (Or The Introduction to The Traveller)
Part Two: The Traveller
Part Three: Floating
CHAPTER II: CIRCUMSTANCES
Part Four: The Chase
Part Five: The Great Escape
Part Six: Dead End
Part Seven: The Release
Outro
By the time writing this, the final LP / cd mastering is still to be processed (YES, it’s gonna be available as vinyl with gatefold cover also!!)
and the release is scheduled to springtime 2008. It is also very much likely that I congregate the band for the possible tour promoting this release.
I hope that these few excerpts from the album give you a clue what to be expected from the final release, so be warned…..
in 2012 our world will change positively for the human mankind!
drink clear water. breath deep and slowly. go outside and enjoy the nature. don't trust your ego - trust your fellings. follow your dreams. beware of illusions. if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!
kind regards! wolfgang
