History
The project was announced on
2007-06-05, the same day that both The Gathering and Anneke van Giersbergen issued separate announcements that van Giersbergen would leave the band in August.
She and her new bandmates laid down some basic tracks at the
Waterfront Studios in
Rotterdam and recorded overdubs at
The Void in
Eindhoven, as well as in the comfort of her own home studio. Several of these songs have been made available on the band's official web site. A track, Ice Water, has been said to feature additional vocals by
Kristin Fjellseth, as well as string arrangement by
Jeffrey Fayman.
Heleen de Witte is said to play flute on unspecified tracks while
Timothy Conroy provides some trumpet work. They released an album called "
Air" at the end of 2007, mixed by
Jon Anders Narum.
