Album Focus: Breaking Orbit

Answered by: Mark Tyson

Album title? Transcension

Where did the title of your new album come from? Transcension expands on the concept and knowledge of The Time Traveller, sharing the same technicality, tied together with powerful melody and movement, lyrically reinforcing a positive message of inner strength and unity.

How many releases do you have now? This is our second studio album, with our first record (The Time Traveller) preceeded by a couple of EPs.

How long did it take to write/record? The album was about a year and half in the making, although we spaced out the recording to fit in some touring late last year. 

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? The way in which we write has evolved dramatically over the years. In terms of my own musicianship, trialling different song forms and styles was particularly liberating, often leading to something new and unplanned.

What’s your favourite song on it? My favourite track would have to be Eternity... as a drummer the rhythms and flow hold an unbelievable attraction to me.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 11 Jul, The Toff In Town.
