The Moth is Devin Townsend’s most ambitious work to date, a project that has existed in his mind as his life’s work – an immersive orchestral, choral, and theatrical project over a decade in the making. What began as a distant vision became reality when Townsend was invited to collaborate with the North Netherlands’ Orchestra and Choir.
Studio version featuring The North Netherlands Sympony Orchestra & Choir, Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Darby Todd (Jordan Rudess, The Darkness), James Leach (Sikth), Anneke Van Giersbergen (among others: The Gathering), Lynn Wu (OU) & more
