Deserts of Traun update

i know its been a while, but the project has seen little motion since last i posted. there have been macro level refinements to the music/story/ and organization of the album - but i have yet to start really committing my pieces to audio. a lot has been going on that has had to take over my available creative time. One good distraction has been working on making the Deserts of Traun into a movie project - now titled the Fruitless Kingdom. see my other post for details. Health issues have also slowed things down, but i am hopeful and can see time opening up to finish the project soon. if the Deserts of Traun version 3 is something you are looking forward to - then i thank you in advance for the patience - and i'll try to post more updates in the future.

Fruitless Kingdom

Just wanted to announce here that i have been working hard at making the movie portion of the Deserts of Traun a reality. As some may know, Traun is a concept album/project based loosely on a science fiction story - which can best be realized by watching the 3 minute animated trailer by Colby Bluth (video is on the Fruitless Kingdom's homepage).

In order to really attempt to get the project made into a movie or series, the story had to become solid, and much of it reverse engineered to stay true to the trailer, and the musical project. piecing it together was somewhat like working on a rubiks cube. As it stands we have almost all the pieces to pitch the project for production - including a script written by a veteran writer and producer. check out the site fruitlesskingdom.com or the facebook page if you are interested in following the project.
