Hey there. I just finished recording the first half of the Novellice record, "the Architect". I decided to release the record in two halves, so Side A is out now. It was recorded in my apartment with the most basic of equipment, but regardless I think it turned out well. You can hear a couple of songs from the record on facebook or myspace (I highly recommend you choose facebook, myspace destroys audio).
Novellice is a sci-fi epic that was created back in the mid-90's and just sort of collected dust for a long while. In total it spans fourteen records, and I'm re-recording and releasing them now with acoustic guitars. The concept basically follows the idea that the stories we create don't exist in our minds, but in another reality. In that reality they exist unaware that they aren't real, in capsules which float up from the ocean's depths in this other world. There, their protectors watch over each story and maintain a balance between them all, keeping them safe from themselves, the nature of their being, and from the meddling of their physical creators. And that's just the most basic background I can offer.
Like a lot of crazy sci-fi stories, there are plans to make it graphical (there have been plans for over ten years...) - in the form of graphic novels and a webcomic. The webcomic seems to be the one to come first, and it will serve as an introduction to the characters and the first plate (world/story). It will be hand-painted and then presented online in flash. But my friend won't even begin working on it until he moves out to WA later this month and acquires a decent table to start painting it. The graphic novels would require someone with more time and skill, and the ability to commit to thirtyone books...so maybe they will never be? Who knows?
Anyway - enjoy the music.
