Devin Townsend arrête le DTP (Devin Townsend Project)

[Everflow]

Pour se consacrer à de nouveaux projets.

Hey guys, Devin here.

So after 8 years of touring with DTP, I've decided to take a break from this band and focus on a number of other projects I've been really wanting to do for some time now. The band have been there with me through thick and thin and we've shared some pretty great moments - I can’t say enough good things about them - And in the future, I'm sure we'll work again.

I have 4 new albums I am currently working on. I am currently in the finishing stages one of the grandest and most overwhelming projects that I have been fortunate to do. It's certainly my favourite DVD release of them all and is a powerful moment, if I can say so myself. Ocean Machine Live In Plovdiv (tentative name) Mixing the orchestras, choirs, the 'by-request' set and the full Ocean Machine album in that magnificent setting has been hugely rewarding. Seeing this spectacle come to life is a testament to this period of work and I can't wait for you to see and hear it.

Life is short and I have a lot I need to say in some new and different avenues. I will certainly continue to play live in several new ways (starting next year) and I'm excited about some collaborative things that have also come up as well.

I salute the band, the team, and the audience for allowing us to do what we have done and the patience to accommodate my persistent morphing. As someone who’s music is connected to his personal growth, I feel an obligation to follow this muse wherever it leads. To not do so would be in direct opposition to what it is I have fundamentally done for all these years.

Peace and respect,
Devin Townsend

il a tout le temps de nouveaux projets dans la tête ce Devin, y'a plus qu'a attendre pour voir ce qu'il nous réserve.
Je n'ai découvert ce Devin townsend project il y a juste 2 ans, avec son dernier album Transcendence et le double live Retinal circus.

Ça faisait un petit moment qu'il laissait entendre que le concept DTP commençait à le lasser donc ça ne me surprend pas trop...surtout en sachant qu'il restera sûrement aussi productif..voir plus.

Il me semble avoir vu quelque chose à propos d'une éventuelle collaboration avec Mikael Akerfeldt?

Pour revenir a DTP, j'ai toujours trouvé ça cool mais justement j'ai jamais eu le temps de vraiment de vraiment rentrer dedans tellement il est prolifique.

Les 2 voire 3 derniers albums du DTP (Epicloud, Sky Blue/Z², Transcendence) commençaient à se ressembler, ce qui est inhabituel chez lui. Peut-être trop rapprochés en effet, même si je les aime tels qu'ils sont.

J'imagine qu'il en a pris conscience et que cela l'incite à lancer d'autres projets pour marquer une différence plus nette.
