Greetings everyone!
Before I get into the status update of this project, I would like to give some mentions.
Firstly, thanks to everyone at originaltrilogy.com for allowing me to host this project here from the beginning! Second, I would like to thank everyone who has followed this project and who have also been very helpful in many different ways over the years!
Now, where are we? It’s been years since my last update. I did not start a Facebook page for this project, and with very few exceptions, I haven’t posted anything or even visited this forum throughout these years.
Most of that time was spent living, working, and raising a family. There have also been some personal losses, most notably during the last couple of years with COVID.
In the middle of all that though, the work on this project continued, even at a snail’s pace. Recording keyboard parts, editing, a few seconds here a few seconds there, etc.
In the interest of some disclosure, I will add that I went through the process of looking at the viability of releasing a commercial version of this project. Without getting into any of the business or legal aspects, I will simply restate that the goal of this project was always to release a as complete as possible version of the Blade Runner soundtrack, and I pursued a particular avenue to achieve this. In regards to that, negotiations were not successful. Though this is not the end of that particular story, due in part to the passing of Vangelis and other factors.
That’s all I can say about it at the present time, but in a nutshell, if said commercial release actually becomes a reality, then that will be the form in which this intended project goes out.
On the other hand, if that door closes, then it is my intention to follow my original plan for release.
Let me be clear, this project is not in limbo or abandoned, far from it. What remains to be seen is what form the release will take, but it WILL be released.
In the meantime, while I have a busy schedule, I will remain in contact with more frequent updates at least in some capacity. In the coming days, I will return to releasing some tracks as samples to preview. I may also create discord channel so we can all connect there.
This indeed has been a long journey, and I’m grateful to all of you who have taken it with me. But one way or another, this project WILL be finished!
And on a closing note, while have I missed the chance to release this on or before November 2019, I’ll try to release this before 2049. 😉
