Cross Symphonic - A cinematic Chrono Cross album

[CptOvaltine]

Man, it's bittersweet both you saying that the fact that it's over that song. That song has always made me feel things. Good job orchestrating what is normally a purely acoustic piece. Very nice indeed.

I totally know what you mean. This one has been interesting to arrange. I know it's important to a lot of people, so I've more or less left the structure of the song alone. I tried to keep the same tone as the original, keeping the song mostly in the strings, allowing for a few swells, all in all I think people are really going to like this one.

I have a question for you, Boo.

Would you be interested in listening to a track privately and answering a few questions?

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Gladly! PM me.

[CptOvaltine]

Sent.   feel free to reply, or post your thoughts here. Though please keep which track it is private, as it's sort of a bonus.

Secret Tracks?! Hidden songs?! Ugh the suspense....

So... not to toot my own horn for listening to this one track early (only because I previously stressed how it's my favorite song in the entire Chrono library, and easily top 3 of all video game library), but I have to brag on CptOvaltine's work. Not just on the next track, but on this whole project.

For real. I'm feeling super pumped for this guy, and I hope he does, too.

If you all haven't already, please make sure you support him on Facebook with a like. Or follow on Instagram. Or whatever. Our man JPH deserves it. This is probably the biggest thing to come out of our community in quite some time and it deserves all of our respect and support.

Can't wait!

Thank you so much, Boo! I don't really know how to express my appreciation for you, all of you and everyone's support without being overly sappy.  I can't tell you all how much it means to me, your support has really helped push me through the tough times with this album, and driven me to produce some of my best work!  I really can't wait to share this with everyone, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

I'll have more to say as I wrap up post production!

I might as well become CptOvaltine's agent and/or leader of his fanclub at this point. Bahahaha!

Just kidding, I am just passionate about this project. I feel connected to it, seeing that we've been plugged in and listening in on the process for a whole nine months. It's almost like it's our baby, almost ready to be born into this world...

In reality you guys are like family. You really took in and supported Cross Symphonic from the beginning. Over the whole course of the project I've shared clips, and received valuable support and advice through the whole process. I can't thank you all enough, especially you, Boo!

Good begets good, amiright?

PLUUUUUUUS ULTRA!!!

I sure like to think so.

I'm almost through editing all of the tracks.  The first and second track received some pretty extensive orchestration edits, parts of them will sound like brand new tracks! 

Here's a little clip from the new and improved track 1 :https://www.facebook.com/JohnPaulHaywardMusic/videos/731928917158360/

I'm hitting some walls with the release...I'm not sure that a 2018 release is possible anymore.  I'll let you all know when I know!

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Take your time. I'd rather it be better and wait longer than have it be less complete and rushed out the door.

I agree with this 110%! That being said, I'm very excited for the album!
