Daniel: In April I was contacted by Jim Matheos of Fates Warning. He
asked me if I would want to be part of a project together with him and
Mike Portnoy, and after hearing the material I said yes. The full line
up of this project turned out to be Jim Matheos (Fates Warning), Mike
Portnoy (Dream Theater), Kevin Moore (Chroma Key, ex Dream Theater),
Sean Malone (Gordian Knot, Cynic etc) and myself. In good company. My
role would be as a vocalist and co-composer, and I created vocal
melodies and lyrics for a 26 minute song and another song, and wrote one
track entirely. As it happened, Matheos decided two days before my
flight over to New York that he would have Kevin do all the vocals
instead, since we had so different styles. I just wanted to explain this
to clarify that I did not quit the project, and there were no hard
feelings or disagreements between us; Matheos liked what I did, but
simply, and unfortunately for me, wanted to take the project in a
slightly different direction than he first intended. Anyway, it was an
honor in the first place to be chosen for a project like this. Looking
at it from a perspective it is comforting to see that they obviously
must have picked me because of what I do and not because of my name or
nativity. The only other reason would be because of my looks, and I
think it goes without saying that that is out of the question. :)
Another time.
