Oh hey, we got an update from Jeremy Soule for his Northerner symphony Kickstarter.

This update is long overdue, and for that, I apologize.
When I started this project back in early 2013, I had an idea in mind and a timeline in which to accomplish it, but as I began the work, it grew bigger and more complex. I realized that technology didn’t exist for some of the music I was writing, and that the project would take longer due to these limitations, and its increased length.
The symphony as it stands is more than 6 times the scale of what I initially envisioned, and simply put, that will take at least 6 times as long to complete. I have also had to take out time to create the necessary technology for the project.
I have not abandoned this, and the thought that my backers feel this way hurts. I have hurt you and I have let you down, but I will NOT fail you. The Northerner is still my priority, and my ventures in Roland are toward this end.
I am truly thankful for all of you who have stood with me through this extended project, and appreciate all the comments, whether support or criticism.
I have been hard at work, and have failed to give timely updates, and I am very sorry for that. Going forward, I will be giving monthly updates, no matter how big or small my achievements in that time.
The technology is nearly done, and recording has begun in the US and Iceland. I can’t give an exact date yet, but we’re approaching the final stages.
Thank you again for sticking with me, and it is my greatest hope that The Northerner will be worth the wait, however long that may be.[/quote]
At this point, I can’t even imagine what the music would have to be to make the wait worth it.
