Update on the Divine Disorder (Kuwait) and Shadowdance (USA) projects:

Below there is a quotation from Carlos Alvarez's recent online post about the new Shadowdance and Divine Disorder albums, due for release later this year.

Jon Phipps has made substantial orchestral contributions to both these projects, using software samplers to create symphonic soundscapes that embellish and compliment the metal tracks. Some of the Divine Disorder tracks can be found here.

"George (vocals) and I spent saturday afternoon tracking vocals at my facility Dirty Viking Audio Production for his guest performance on the forthcoming Divine Disorder album to be mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman. Most of the album has already been mixed, I'm still waiting on receiving the vocal tracks for the rest of the album to edit & polish up before sending them to Fredrik.

Anyway, George joins an incredibly impressive roster of guest performers for this release including members and former members of Kamelot, Orphaned Land, Darkane, Testament, Nevermore, Forbidden, Biomechanical, The Kovenant, and more as well lesser known but vital contributors like Jon Phipps Music who I recently mentioned will be contributing some orchestral performances for our reworked "Ageless" album"

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).
