Timo Tolkki Comments On REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE Auditions
April 15, 2008, 16 years ago
Former STRATOVARIUS leader/guitarist Timo Tolkki has issued the following in regards to REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, his project also featuring former HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske and Tobias Sammet (EDGUY, AVANTASIA):
"I have received over 500 aplications in just a week. Just keep them coming and if you know somebody who you think can sing or play then pass the word. You dont have to be experienced necessarily.Some people keep sending the same emails 10 times. This will automatically weaken your position.
As I wrote, you have to follow EXACTLY the instructions at www.timotolkki.com. If you dont, I will not listen to your stuff and I dont have time to follow links etc... so make sure you send me exactly what I am asking.
There are some surprising names in there and the overall musicianship is very good. I hope to decide the top 3 people in each cathegory, who will then get an invitation to the final meeting in Helsinki so I can see you and talk with you as well.
Good luck!!"
The band's debut album is entitled New Era and will be released on June 6th via Frontiers Records. Check out some mp3 sample in a previous update, located here.
