Hi everyone,

this is Florian from Holland, glad to join this freak party! :D

I'm a metalhead-guitarist-turned-classical-composer from Germany. I live in Holland.

I've been a fan of The Dev for many years, and a while back the unthinkable happened when he sent me a mail asking if I would collaborate with him on Deconstruction.... when I could speak again, I hastened to assure him I'd have killed for such an opportunity! Life's pretty amazing.

So I ended up doing all the orchestrations for this monster album. I also did the transcriptions from Devin's ProTools tracks, together with Mike "Superman" St-Jean. I'm the long-haired dude in the "orchestra tracking" video on youtube. And yes, we got to hang out for an intense couple of insane, beautiful and inspiring days. Dreams DO come true!

Although I've been involved till over my head in this album, I share your excitement completely. This album is the end of all things!!! Very sorry everyone has to be patient still to hear what we already know (heh heh....).

If any of you are interested who the bleep I am, here's a bunch of sites:

homepage (waiting for an upgrade since 2 years... I know, I know....):

I have a couple of bands too. I play guitar, do growls and compose for Noneuclid, under the name Morean:

I scream in German Black Metal band Dark Fortress as well:

I also have a crazy crossover ensemble, The Hungry Gods; I play guitar there and write all the music:

My main thing is writing concert music, mainly orchestra stuff, but also large ensembles, chamber music, film, dance and multimedia stuff. I also play a lot still with all kinds of people and in a lot of different styles and collaborations.

Nice to meet y'all!

Thanks!

Let me just say I was amazed to hear that all the choir and orchestra stuff is, while being important, only one of the many layers on this album... expect the unexpected :coucou:

Hey! I just realized that you are in Dark Fortress - fucking great, man! Heard the first time of you in Essen last year at the Satyricon-show and recently bought Ylem and Eidolon.
