As I mentioned in the Random Thoughts topic the other night, I have started thinking about my next artistic project. It will be an electronic album similar to my previous works ("DISSONANCE" and "CELESTIAL"), but I am taking things in a far more creative and experimental direction this time around, which is saying something given my spacey/trippy backlog. lol
Anyhow, I don't have any tracks finished to share with you all at the moment (hell, I haven't even started on any of them), but I have been doing some concept work and planning. I typed up a brief (well, as brief as I possibly could anyhow) outline of what the album will consist of, and I'd like to share it with you all. So, without another word, here we go!
Concept Work for new record – Tentatively titled “EDENâ€.
Basic Underlying Concept: “EDEN†is a concept record that seeks to tell a story, as most concept records do. But the difference here is that “EDEN†is not so much an album as it is an aural novel -- it will play out more like a novel than a traditional concept album. There should be a very clear beginning, middle and end. The album tracks should have a very dark, mechanical sound to them, bordering on a grating to listen to industrial “noise†style, as if they are very lo-fidelity, long lost recordings.
Basic Story Outline: “EDEN†is in and of itself a mystery. No one is really sure what the world it takes place in is, or if it is even real. The only factual information is the name of the setting: EDEN. The lyrics of the album aren’t as much lyrics as they are narration; the story is told through the point of view of multiple characters (3 characters/ 10 tracks total; Each character will have 3 tracks that tell their story, with one final objective, non-character driven track to serve as the conclusion), who all came to EDEN for different reasons. Whether it was to escape their painful personal lives by coming to a place of promised perfection like EDEN, or if it was to start their lives all over in a beautiful, near-perfect world such as EDEN, every character has their own motivations. As this is a dystopian style story, something must go horribly wrong to cause the perfect order of EDEN to collapse. What is that, you're wondering? Well, you'll have to wait until the album is done to find out. Like any good novel, I'd hate to spoil it for you all.
So what do you all think? Would this be something you're interested in listening to or am I stepping too far into experimental territory?
