Jeremy Soule begins his new approach to his kickstarter backers with this little gem stating:

"I just made this iPhone video of the control room as I'm building the digital "mock-up" of the first movement today. "

The Northerner (candid work-in-progress)

OMG All those buttons!
Am I alone in wanting to turn and push every one of them?

Yes, I was also impressed with the equipment Katorone. JS has many advantages when compared to those composers of the past who have influenced his work.

Annnd, like you, I felt the desperate need to push buttons and play with sliders. What awesome bits of kit Mr Soule gets to play with.

The latest release from Malukah, which has everything to do with Elder Scrolls Online and nothing to do with this project, has just been posted on her site. However, seeing as this young lady will be treating us to her vocals on "The Northerner" it feels right to post this here:

Three Hearts As One cover by Malukah

Edit: restructured a sentence.

Not quite The Northerner, but the chap who composed the themes to Wing Commander III and IV wants to record them.

He has my sword.

AND he has my shield.

Thanks for posting this HowSerendipitous.

The backers of The Northerner have just received this update from Jeremy Soule:

"Tomorrow, Malukah is in the studio and is recording for The Northerner. We are recording what are called "vocal pre-lays" that will be what the orchestra tunes to for the final recordings. More updates soon! -JS"

I am one of Malukah's fans and this is good news but this update is woefully inadequate when it comes to answering the major questions that are being raised by backers. The agency handling the business end of the project seem to be a bunch of amateurs who have little idea of what is required by supporters of this kind of venture. At this rate I could be dead from natural causes before this project finally bears fruit.

I know I have been spoilt by the professional way that Josh Parnell has conducted himself in regards to Limit Theory. It's a shame there are not more like him.

Seeing as the previous update was a month ago I am not holding my breath for the next one. We were promised so much more than this.

Tis' unfortunate. Yet I have other things to distract me while Jeremy Soule gets his stuff together, I'll give him time.

Yes, I am resigned to the fact that Mr Soule will eventually give us the completed work. In his own time. I still hope we will be treated to some awesome updates but you know me TanC, ever the optimist.

He appears to have written too much music.

Not that I'm complaining

Yes, HowSerendipitous, it was good to see a real update for a change. I expect to see another in about two months time. If we are lucky.

But as most backers keep telling us/me, you can't rush an artist. That certainly applies to Jeremy Soule.

I was beginning to despair but Jeremy has finally remembered the backers who made this project possible and posted a rather good update.

JS gives every indication that he intends making this a weekly event. I reserve judgement as this isn't the first time we have been promised regular "real" updates. But if he follows through this could still be a most enjoyable end to what has been a distinctly disappointing KS.

I could supply a link but quite frankly I would be surprised if anyone apart from HowSerendipitous (A squirrel with impeccable taste) bothers to read this.

I did read it A CD by Jeremy Soule has a fair chance of ending up in my music library when it's out

I wasn't aware that you had any interest in the music of Jeremy Soule, Dinosawer. I tend to forget at times that LT is a broad church as far as interests are concerned. I too am looking forward to playing one of my Symphony CD's for the first time. Being as it is such a personal project from JS I'm expecting it to be a very special composition.

Soule's Soundtracks are my relaxing themes before going to bed

I'm only waiting the news that the album is out to buy it
