I took the liberty of typing out some of the most relevant questions we were asked during our Q&A segment we hosted earlier today. If you want to find out our answers to the other questions that were asked (a lot of them are random), you can check out the full video recording of the stream here. You can actually see a list of all of the questions we received, and jump to that specific spot in the video by clicking on it! Thanks again to everyone who came out to watch us live and for participating! We hope that you feel like you were able to connect with us as individuals rather than mysterious people running a website. :)
Q. Will Twilight Symphony be consecutive 2 hours or are the tracks separated?
A. Eric - First, I want to correct you that it's not two hours, it's actually over three hours now! Most of the tracks are going to be separated, but some of them are going to be connected somehow. Wayne - We're setting it up to tell the story sequentially.
Q. What song posed the greatest challenge in reorchestrating?
A. Wayne - The one I'm working on right now! Which is the Throne Room. Really a pain in the butt!
Q. Will the "Don't want you no more" trailer song be remade and included?
A. Eric - It is, a little bit, just not in the way you might expect it, so listen for that.
Q. Once TPS is complete and released, will you go back to releasing individual songs every week or two?
A. Eric - I'm leaning towards that we will be releasing songs on a regular basis again, and those will be from different games.
Q. Do you have a date for the choir recording of TPS?
A. Eric - We don't have a date, but we have a rough estimate that it's going to be sometime this Winter, probably late December or early January, that's what we're shooting for. We just have to make sure that works with everyone's schedule and availability. It's not for sure yet.
Q. Do you consider Twilight Symphony to be your greatest work, or not? If not, what is?
A. Wayne - It better be! We've been on it for three years!
Eric - TPS is the best work that ZREO has ever done, and it's going to knock your socks off.
Wayne - And if you're not wearing socks, it will put them on for you, then knock them off!
Q. Will the CD release be in two discs?
A. Eric - Yeah definitely! There are over three hours of music, so it's going to have to be pushed on to three discs now.
Q. So, after you finish TPS, are you guys gonna take a break, or are you gonna start another project?
A. Eric - We're not going to really take a break, but we're going to promote the album for a little while to see how far we can take it. There will be a break in the music, but that doesn't mean we're going to take a break from ZREO. And we are going to be starting other projects, which we haven't started working on yet.
Q. How much longer till you're done with TPS?
A. Eric - Everyone wants to know this! Basically, we have to record the choir first, then we have to do all of the final mixing and make all of the final release versions of the tracks. It could take anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months after that. We're going to get it done as soon as we can, but there's no way for us to give you an actual window of when it might be done.
Wayne - We can literally count the number of arrangements left on one hand though.
Q. In your vocals for TPS, are you adding dynamic lyrics?
A. Wayne - Yeah! A lot of the songs use full lyrics. Castle Town being one of them. Dark Lord Ganondorf has some pretty cool lyrics too.
