An exclusive behind the scenes interview with the legendary drummer and producer Simon Phillips (Toto) on creating the epic and intricate musical fantasy concept album 'Origin Of Species' with DarWin. A complex project that’s eschews the hollow immediacy of much contemporary art. A story that demands attention and imagination. With music sweeping in scope, at times evoking hard rock virtuoso shredding, alongside grand orchestral compositions, warm harmonies and soaring choruses.
