Hell yeah! I'm so glad to see Epic on your radar Tony! (massive fan of Epic here, been following it for almost a year now oof) In short, it's a series of concept albums inspired by the odyssey, and while written as a 'musical' there is no official musical /just/ yet. This work is purely a concept that Jorge is posting publicly and still currently a work in progress! (We're only now nearing the end of Act 1, or so Jorge tells us.) The processed nature of certain elements is definitely intentional, I believe Jorge said he wanted to reserve synthy sounds and choirs for the gods, as they represent their otherworldly-ness ? I'm recalling from memory though so its not his words exactly. But I believe that was his intention from what I recall (another cool tidbit is that each character has their own 'instrument' that tends to accompany them in song, even if they aren't there vocally etc) If this does interest you enough- I definitely recommend starting from the very beginning (The Horse and the Infant); It's an amazing musical journey filled with intentional musical choices and motifs (that change, grow and get reused throughout many different songs!) Would be super awesome to hear your opinions on some of the other tracks, for sure.
