When does Devin Townsend sleep?
We have been keeping you up to date on the progress of his forthcoming double album and I guess he's already thinking about his next project.
Earlier today, Devy sent out feelers via his Facebook page to gauge interest in a potential autobiography. The autobiography is described thusly:
ONLY HALF THERE BY DEVIN TOWNSEND
With this book I really want to discuss music, my creative process, the connection between my personal development and how my career and music has been lived, and I want to do it frankly and in detail. I want to offer up my experiences – positive and negative – so that it might help other people to follow their muse and get to do what they dream about. I want to contrast what people assume this life and work is based on, with the reality. It’s so easy to get lost in addiction, accolades and criticisms instead of creating music, but essentially that is the healthiest thing in the world: going where the music takes you is so important.
This book is part manual and part diary. It’s a travelogue, a songbook, a celebration, elucidation and condemnation; it’s my story, told by me, for you. If you want it…
The man has had quite a prolific career, from being Steve Vai's protege, to Strapping Young Lad to his solo band resurgence, oh and a few battles with mental health added in there… so this would certainly be an entertaining read.
If this is something you would be interested in reading, show your interest by registering here. Devy stresses this "only registers you to the book's mailing list and does not obligate you to buy anything. You can opt out at any given time."
