smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: April 15 2012, 07:13 Science-Fiction author Tony Wright and I are working on a musical project, based on one of his novels.  The album will be released under the name "Steamprog" - with Tony credited as both lyricist and scriptwriter. To hear "Work in Progress" versions of the tracks as they are completed (without Tony's narration), go to: Steamprog HQ We expect to have the album finished by the end of the year!   -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: April 16 2012, 21:07 Thanks, Terry.  You have to imagine all of this music with narration on top.  I suppose you've guessed what book we're setting to music?  We can't use the name "T*e W*r *f t*e W*rlds" - thanks to comments from Sony & Mr Wayne...  So the album is going under the working title "Aftermath: The Second Martian War".   -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

Ginger Daddy Group: Members Posts: 401 Joined: April 2002 Posted: May 08 2012, 12:00 I've listened to the first 15 minutes but had to go and make my dinner... I'll be back to listen to more, because so far it's pretty awesome. Really enjoying it - although I am tempted to wait until the narration is recorded. What's the timescale for that? Cheers, Terry. -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: May 08 2012, 21:00 Well, Terry - that's the thing.  The author of "War of the Worlds: Aftermath", Tony Wright, is having trouble fitting the recording into his hectic schedule.  He reckons he can have it done by JULY?! - WTF?!     It's a bit frustrating, really - but as this is a joint project, and he's the author... guess I'll just have to wait. Or kick him up the bum.   -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top
