Former Twelfth Night member Clive Mitten has announced that work is underway on a new C: Live Collective release which will see Mitten and singer Mark Spencer re-working a raft of early Twelfth Night material in an "orchestral and cinematic" style.
"Mark Spencer and I are recording an orchestral/cinematic take on the early years of Twelfth Night," Mitten tells Prog. "Mark is singing and I am undertaking radical re-imaginings of the music.
An epic re-working of The Collector and Creepshow form the centrepiece of the new music, as well as Love Song. There will also be a 25-minute orchestra suite entitled Jan Six Hits The Cryptic Suite Spot comprising the following Twelfth Night tracks:
Afghan Red
After the Eclipse
C.R.A.B
East of Eden
East to West
End of the Endless Majority
Fact and Fiction
Human Being
The Ceiling Speaks
The Poet Sniffs a Flower
Sequences
We Are Sane
World Without End
"This is something I have long wanted to do," explains Mitten. "Much of the music I wrote and have always seen more ideas in many of the pieces than has been shown to date."
