Something New is Coming

Postby Doug TenNapel » Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:57 am

From the world of THE NEVERHOOD... not a video game. Not a TV Show or Movie.

But I just got word from Terry Taylor that all new MUSIC is coming! That's all I can say. But tell your Neverhood buddies that if they liked the soundtrack (and who didn't?!) that the silence will be broken by music. It's appropriate... and I'm providing all new art.

I've been talking to Terry over the phone about this. I'm excited... it's a unique project. Gonna be really cool. He just booked the studio time in Nashville and there's some amazing artists agreed to play... many of the original Neverhood musicians and collaborators.

No remakes. It's all new music. Most of it will be in the original style of the songs, but there will be some jazz influences.

We're trying to capture the feel of the first recording, without just copying the style. It's hard to explain, but when the original recording came together, I gave Terry a LOOOOONG leash with just a few rules to follow. He went all over the place from there and came up with a masterpiece.

Similarly, we have a few rules to observe, but I thought one of the things he had to be able to do was to bring in something that could be way outside of our original direction. He already came up with a really strange idea, a song that was really strange and it folds into the Neverhood in a way I hadn't thought before. That's Terry. He's the 4th dimension.

Thats awesome! I beleave Terry can do great new music, even if it will be different to original soundtrack.
Skullmonkeys soundtrack was different to Neverhood soundtrack, but hey - it was really cool music and one of my personally favourite.
I wish luck to Terry Taylor with this new album it would be great!
