The folks at Fringe Element decided that they have been far too serious, so they embarked on a journey to create their very first live orchestra recorded Fantasy Adventure album entitled Book Of Secrets. While a departure from the dark apocalyptic and epic themes from previous releases, they thought it was time to have a little fun for a change and bring the magic.
Book Of Secrets was four months in the making. It was recorded live with the Capellan Orchestra in the Czech Republic and mixed and mastered at Emmy winning composer Trevor Morris’ studio in Santa Monica. The album covers a range of timeless fantasy themes, from big sweeping adventure, to more enchanted, magical motifs.
Producing duo, Composer David Edwards and Executive Producer Sean Harrison, decided early on to enlist the services of a number of different top line composers to the project to help give the album more range and diversity. Jim Hill, an accomplished Film & Television recording engineer with a reputation for a big cinematic sound, was bought on board to add some movie magic which this album has in abundance.
Executive producer Sean Harrison added, “We had a lot of fun with this album. We worked with a number of very talented composers with the idea that each cue could be a completely different experience from the one before it, all while attempting to maintain a sense of continuity. Which, as it turns out, is not so easy. Cue the magic.”
