Ocean Machine – Live At The Ancient Roman Theatre Plovdiv<\/em> consists of a live performance recorded on September 22nd, 2017 at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, celebrating the 20th anniversary of July 1997 outing Ocean Machine: Biomech<\/em> in full, as well as a set of fan-requested tracks alongside the Orchestra of Plovdiv State Opera.<\/p>\n

Devin Townsend commented: \u201cPlovdiv and this live package represents a lot to me, it signifies the end of one era, and the celebration of another. Amidst a gruelling touring year, this show came together with much blood, sweat, and tears, and the result is the culmination of many aspects of my work on one stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOcean Machine<\/em> was released 20 years ago, and though Marty [Chapman, drums] is no longer with us, I was able to finally perform the album in its entirety with the original bassist John \u2018Squid\u2019 Harder on this night. On a cold evening in an old city in the ancient theatre, many lifelong milestones came to a conclusion on this night and I\u2019m exceptionally proud of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently writing, writing, and writing some more for the next stage of my life and work, and the team of individuals who contributed to this project, from the musicians in the band and orchestra, to the crews locally and with this, management, artists, filmographers and most importantly, the audience… made this night a powerful and strangely bittersweet moment I am proud to have documented with this work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very special live recording of a very special night, and I hope you enjoy it as a monument to the things that inspired it all in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n
