NEW PROJECTS

Elend fans will discover another, more soothing side to A World in Their Screams vocalist Laura Angelmayer. Founded by Tschirner in 1999, Redbird revealed Angelmayer before she took part in the Elend adventure. After a hiatus of several years devoted to Elend, work on a full-length Redbird album was finally resumed earlier this year and new recordings have been in progress ever since.

Iskandar Hasnawi is currently composing and recording for Ensemble Orphique's first album. Sessions have been planned at Studio des moines for early 2009 in the hope of having all music composed and recorded by the end of this year. Present core line-up is Iskandar Hasnawi, Esteri Rémond, Alexandre Geus. Session musicians will also participate in the recording.

Although we all need to focus on less heavy-weight projects for the time being, a further collaboration of Elend's main protagonists is intended at some indefinite future date. A considerable corpus of unreleased, almost finished Elend pieces originally written and recorded for Elend's Winds cycle (mostly the vocals are missing) awaits completion and final mixing. They will be issued eventually, either as Elend releases or as part of an Elend-related project. We will keep you informed.

Thank you for your continued interest in our work.
