New Amorphis coming soon, featuring Jon's orchestrations

10/8/2015

Amorphis - 'Under The Red Cloud' - Out in September!

In May of 2015, Jon went to Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, to orchestrate string arrangements and additional orchestral parts for the new Amorphis record, which was produced by Jens Bogren. This album will be released by Nuclear Blast on the 4th of september, 2015, but until then, the first single can be heard here:

This is the only track on the album which Jon did not contribute to, but it does contain a fantastic guest performance from Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) on percussion, as well as some great sitar playing from the band's guitarist, Esa Holopainen.

Hi, Jon Phipps here!

I am a composer and guitarist, who works as a virtual orchestrator for metal bands from around the world.

Recent bands who's music I have orchestrated include Amorphis (Finland), Moonspell (Portugal), and Angra (Brazil). These albums were produced by Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios, Sweden).

As well as this, I produce library tracks for the Alibi Music Library (New York), and digitally transcribe audio and hand-written manuscripts for a variety of clients into Sibelius and Guitar Pro.

In the past, I have worked extensively as a guitar teacher, and have played guitar in several bands, including Reciprocal (UK), Divine Disorder (Kuwait), Sectioned (Hungary/USA/UK), The Kuru Smile (UK), and Korvus (UK).
