10/07/05 . JAK X SOUNDTRACK
Billy Howerdel has recently completed the soundtrack for the video game
Jak
X: Combat Racing, due out October 18th for PlayStation 2 from Naughty Dog
Software. Gamespy has posted an interview with Billy discussing the
project
here: http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/jak-x/656658p1.html.
While about 20 songs were apparently written for the soundtrack, Billy had
some help from Danny Lohner (ex Nine Inch Nails), Dean Menta (ex Faith No
More), and a friend of his named Eric Bass. When it came to performing the
songs for recording, Josh Freese played most of the drums, though Atom
Willard (The Offspring) and Joey Castillo (Queens Of The Stone Age) played
on some tracks as well. Paz Lenchantin played bass on a couple tracks, and
Troy Van Leeuwen and Wes Borland both played guitar on a few tracks each.
Now that the Jak X Soundtrack is done, Billy will presumably resume work
on
his new band / solo project (even he's not sure which it is yet). We'll
keep
you posted on that. When asked about the status of A Perfect Circle, Billy
replied: "[A Perfect Circle is] on hiatus or done until further notice.
When
Maynard's done with his thing, and I'm done with my thing, he and I will
talk about doing something again. But I look at it the same way I looked
at
it before we did our second album... I don't expect anything, but it would
be nice if it would happen."
Billy also mentions a new album he is working on for his own yet-to-named
project. Says he wants to make the music more up-tempo than APC.
