AYREON Launch Official Live Video For "Garden Of Emotions"; More Details Revealed For Into The Electric Castle Live And Other Tales



zoom
If the bedrock of progressive rock is to throw caution to the wind and to indulge your wildest musical flights of fancy, then Arjen Anthony Lucassen is a modern-day titan of the genre.

On April 10, Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group release Ayreon - Electric Castle Live And Other Tales, a 3 LP/2CD+DVD/BD set of last year’s spectacular live performance of the third Ayreon album ‘nto The Electric Castle. Over four nights at Tilburg’s 013 venue (the scene of Lucassen’s Ayreon Universe series of live shows in 2017) Lucassen, his band and one of modern progressive music’s most emphatic of casts celebrated the 20th anniversary of ‘Into the Electric Castle’ in front of 12,000 adoring fans from 64 different countries who had flown in from around the world.

“Because it was the 20th anniversary of the album, and we’d just remixed and re-released it, we figured it was the perfect moment to perform this live”, says Lucassen. “The Ayreon Universe shows were such a fantastic experience for everyone involved, and I’d had loads of requests for more live shows, so we decided to perform the entire ‘Electric Castle’ album back at the 013, and also play one track from each of my side projects billed as ‘Other Tales’.”

Released in 1998, Into The Electric Castle is your classic tale of an epic quest. Set in “no time and no space”, it tells the story of eight individuals who are guided by a mysterious voice and tasked with finding the mysterious Electric Castle. The original album features amongst others Fish (the Highlander), Lucassen (the Hippie), Edwin Balogh (The Roman), Anneke van Giersbergen (the Egyptian), Damian Wilson (the Knight) and Edward Reekers (the Futureman), all of whom repeated their performances for the live spectacular.

Also, among the 22 musicians and singers who made up the impressive cast list were long-time Lucassen collaborators Thijs Van Leer (Focus), Simone Simons (Epica), John Jaycee Cuijpers (Praying Mantis), Marcela Bovio and musicians Joost van den Broek, Johan van Stratum, Marcel Singor, Ferry Duijsens, Bob Wijtsma and Ben Mathot.  Star Trek actor John De Lancie (Q) appears as the narrator.

Having made a name for himself in the 1980s with Dutch hard rock bands Bodine and Vengeance, and with his first solo album in 1993, it is with Ayreon that Lucassen has truly made a name for himself as a composer of unbridled imagination and creativity.

Having set out his stall with the first two Ayreon albums The Final Experiment (1995) and Actual Fantasy (1996), as a creator of vivid musical works built around some of the finest talent in the prog and rock worlds, everything seemed to align perfectly with 1998’s Into The Electric Castle.

“I poured my heart and soul into it”, says Lucassen of the original album. “Investing everything I had both financially and creatively, and enlisted the best instrumentalists and singers I could find in the world at that time. When making the album I was unconstrained by any musical or stylistic boundaries and incorporated many of my favourite musical styles. ‘Into The Electric Castle’ received an overwhelmingly positive reception from both the press and the fans. This firmly established the Ayreon name, making Ayreon the perfect project to pour all of my time and creative energy into.”

Although best known as a studio-based musician, Lucassen slowly countered his fear of performing live when he first joined long-time collaborator Anneke van Giersbergen for some live dates in 2015, before tackling the more elaborate theatre staging of his 2004 Ayreon album The Human Equation in Rotterdam over four nights the same year (on which he served as special advisor). He went even further in 2017 when he appeared on stage with his star-studded ‘Ayreon Universe’ shows at Tilburg’s 013.

“I get absolutely crippling stage fright”, he says. “Up to the night before the Tilburg shows, I was having dreadful panic attacks. But it’s all for a good cause!”

Creating a live show for Into The Electric Castle seemed like the logical next step, and the four 2019 shows were a resounding success, captured for posterity in Ayreon - Electric Castle Live And Other Stories. In fact, it all went so well, that Lucassen is taking the show to headline the prestigious German progressive rock festival Night Of The Prog in June of this year.

“I just love recording my various projects in the studio,” he concurs, “but I’m not a live performer. I’m the guy who comes up with the ideas, sees the big picture, and puts it all together. So, I’m glad that so many incredible musicians helped me bring my music to the stage.”

Он хоть что-то зарабатывает музыкой, если такие расходы на шоу?
30 янв 2020
Мне кажется, это сделано не ради денег. Я имею ввиду само шоу. Последующий выпуск DVD и CD - пожалуй, да. Для прибыли.

Я имел счастье переписываться с Арьеном Лукассеном на "мордокнижке" и сделал вывод, что это человек, который живёт своими мирами, своей музыкой и способез настолько заразить своими идеями коллег по цеху, что они готовы работать с ним чуть ли не за еду, а то и на чисто идейных соображениях. Я был в восторге от того, как он смог уговорить вокалиста "Grand Magus" JB на роль отца в шедевре "Теория Всего" - это было невероятное раскрытие вокалиста, как талантливого и эмоционального актёра с широким спектром эмоций в голосовом диапазоне, вокалиста не признающего ничего, кроме классического хэви-метал и не желающего иметь ничего общего с иными жанрами.

Конечно же для работы подобного масштаба есть бюджет, в который заложены гонорары участников. Да и в целом, у нас тут (в Германии, в частности) совсем иное восприятие музыкальной индустрии. Тут практически никто не скачивает ничего "пиратским" способом. Тут есть возможность целиком и полностью ознакомиться с работой того или иного артиста, после чего решить для себя - будешь ты это покупать или нет.

В случае с "Ayreon" - это уже давно знак качества. У Лукассена есть неудачные проекты, но их можно прослушать, а не покупать кота в мешке.
30 янв 2020
Я согласен, что Арьен - настоящий фанат своего дела и полностью погружен в свою музыку. Все его альбомы - настоящие бриллианты прога. И, уверен, многие именитые музыканты считают за честь участвовать в записях его альбомов и концертах.
