Canadian multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer Devin Townsend is working on an official book entitled Only Half There, together with publisher Rocket 88.

"We'd like to determine how much interest there is for such a book and would therefore like to ask you to register to the website , which also offers you some more information on what this is all about. Mind you that 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. It will take quite a bit of time to complete but the more interest we see, the sooner this book can become a reality!"

Devin Townsend Project drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen has checked in with the following update:

"So, as you know we finished tracking drums in Los Angeles at Swinghouse Studios for the long awaited Ziltoid 2 and a new DTP album. It's going to be a double album. The session went great in the end, even tho it was the most intense and somewhat stressful session I've ever done. I tracked two full records in two days! We had three days booked but the first full day was taken up with studio gremlin problems, which left us basically with two days to get 'er done! It got done :) When you believe and just do it, you get stuff done!

This video is a very quick tease of drum cam footage, random outtakes of select parts of some songs from the two albums. We messed around with different drum sounds for each record and changed the snare tones quite a bit for different songs on each album. The drum sounds we got to tape are absolutely awesome, thanks to my brother and amazing engineer - Jay Van Poederooyen! He dialled up some awesome studio drum sounds.

This drumcam gives you a very 'slight' glimpse of what to expect of the drumming on the album.... there is a lot more groove and a lot more craziness from what you see in this video. Hope you're as excited as I am to hear these two albums complete!

Thanks for the support and enjoy!"
